• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was talking about the amount of money that we are contributing towards infrastructure, particularly on annuity roads. With power and good infrastructure, we are able to improve the economy of Kenya; we are able to produce more and cheaply so that Kenyans can have the purchasing power to buy.

• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I also noted that Kshs6 billion is going to be spent on resettlement of people. I believe in Kenya we have enough funds and enough space for all. That is also a programme worth being applauded and upgraded. In view of the fact that most Members want to contribute and in view that Benjamin’s proposal has not met friendly Members, I would like to support this but also ask Members support it because we are spending more than 30 per cent on the Development Budget. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2015 taking into consideration the fact that we are a State that should be meeting its obligations in time. A lot of this money is being spent on salaries and obligations for goods and services that have been consumed. It is only good that we take care of the liquidity of this country by being a nation that pays for goods and services in time. I also note that Kshs350 million shall be spent for cash transfers to the least advantaged people in this country. That is something ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: the time comes. I can see we are spending over Kshs3 billion for payment of tax obligations. I urge this House to consider and approve this Bill to make sure that, as a nation, we are able to pay up our obligations, get services and move Kenya forward. I second this Bill. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. Informed by Article 113(2), we will have to vote either to approve or reject this. Much as we know two wrongs do not make a right, the Senators are still fighting for their supremacy. I am very sure they had got an opportunity to show the country that they are superior to us and that unlike us, they support devolution. However, in accounting it is so clear that every debit must have a credit. We should agree that this Kshs 3.3 billion which is going to be debited should also be credited somewhere. First, the Senators are to ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Committee, a certain court was going to cost Kshs 800 million and another one Kshs 600 million and our Chairman queried this. The Judiciary has enough money. So, we should get another Kshs.1 billion from the Judiciary so that we stop making them wasteful. The other day the JSC wasted our money on public information. Once we get Kshs 2.5 billion, then we can get the balance from the Treasury. I believe the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) is also well funded and we can get that balance. With that therefore, we shall not put this country into a ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as we do our budgetary process, I feel it is high time we get an institutionalized budget where money for development is captured, allowed to go to institutions where they are supposed to implement projects. Otherwise, we are leaving so many windows through our poor system for governors to spend our money the way they want. Even this Kshs3.3 billion we are allocating to them, I can assure you that come next year, you will still find it misappropriated, misallocated or not utilized but for the sake of this nation, we should let it go but the Senators ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I support the Mediation Report and ask every Member in this House to let the Senators know that the budgetary role is ours. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Motion. I come from a constituency that is near Kilimambogo, next to hon. Nyenze’s constituency. After Independence, most of the young people who were there went to Kilimambogo and became teachers. They taught my father and I. Now time for retirement has come, and those people are suffering. I have watched several of them die. Others continue languishing in poverty yet they taught me and my senior brothers. In this House, we represent those who are working, those who have retired, those who are healthy and those who are not healthy. ... view
