• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I mean that one which brought us here and not that one which happens daily. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The MCAs and the MPs should be treated equally. If this happens in December, then we will be halfway and equally treated. We should also enjoy the quality of our action--- view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: As I wind up, I want to say that man does not live on bread alone. We are Christians and others are Muslims. We do not live on bread alone. We cannot live on political “erections” and, therefore, we need--- view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have not spoken on this Bill. Parliament is the custodian of democracy, fairness and equity. In our representative role, we are expected to advocate for transparency and accountability. When we talk of external funds being brought into a political party, it encourages a sort of monopoly where those who can manoeuvre political parties and the leadership get favours. In 2007, I was a victim of such manoeuvres. I won the PNU nomination and someone else was given the party flag in the elections. I felt very bad. In TNA things were better. Those who ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The Auditor-General may have limitations or constraints but when it is funds from the taxpayers, the Auditor-General and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) can perform their roles of detecting and nabbing culprits who misuse such funds. Increasing beneficiaries of political parties is democracy. When a Member comes to this House, he becomes a Member like any other; the vehicle you used to come here is like any other political vehicle.

Therefore, they ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: As much, as I support equity and democracy, I also support that transparency and accountability should be part of our daily work, as Members of Parliament. Therefore, I support that this Bill be adopted by this House and request other hon. Members to support it too. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. First, I appreciate the fact that all this money we are going to spend is coming from the taxpayers. We should also look at systems to broaden the tax base and increase revenue if we have to achieve Vision 2030 and the Jubilee manifesto. I also look at the Kshs11 trillion spending and appreciate the Executive’s policy of buying 40 per cent from Kenyan entrepreneurs and businesses. This will go a long way to improve the economic livelihoods of so many Kenyans. When I read through the Bill, I ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: reconcile. However, our major problem now would be to guard this money. Corruption has become the order of the day in this country. A lot of wastage is being perpetuated by those who are supposed to take care of our money. Much as I support the Bill, I also urge this House, in its oversight role, to wake up, be alert and ensure that this money is taken care of and that it reaches where it is supposed to be. We should work as a House in our oversight role to ensure that our people get the benefits of this ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we also hope that in the years to come power can be truly free, that you can get connected to power without paying much. view
