• 21 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wanted to say that the NGCDF is very important to this House and the country. It has contributed so much to development. If there is no NGCDF, there will be no Budget. view
• 21 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We will stop the budget process unless the NGCDF is secured. If you go to any part of this country, you will find no development that has been undertaken with all the billions of shillings that are allocated to governors except NGCDF projects. The NGCDF has put money in most of the court infrastructure which Dr. Willy Mutunga, the outgoing Chief Justice, opened. We have a leverage point. This is the card that we will play. If there is no NGCDF, there will be no Budget! That is the card which we will take. I rest my case. view

• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. Kenya is a sporting nation. It is recognised worldwide for its sportsmen and sportswomen. When we talk about doping, it disturbs us. I want to thank the Committee for the good work it has done. The athletes from this country have been better ambassadors than all the other ambassadors we have ever had. We should do the best we can to support the athletes who have brought a lot of respect to this country throughout the world. Whenever there are competitions especially on athletics, I always look at ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join the rest of the leaders in mourning the passing on of Mama Lucy Kibaki, who was a great leader. Behind every successful man, there is a woman. Mama Lucy Kibaki defended her family very well. She set good values for future first ladies by initiating several projects. One such successful project is Mama Lucy Hospital, which I urge the Jubilee Government to renovate and improve. Mama Lucy Kibaki was a no-nonsense person. She would say her mind and fight for her rights. She was truthful, forthright and very straightforward. Very many Kenyans ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was very surprised when I heard the Leader of the Majority Party mention that Kitui County Government is the second-highest contributor to the Council of County Governors (CoG) kitty, at Kshs48 million. The highest contributor is the Turkana County Government. The counties that are far behind in development are the ones that have contributed the most amounts. Since this House has the power to appropriate money, we have to make sure that there are laws in place to direct how that money is used. Hon. Speaker, I am sure you have been to Kitui. When ... view

• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for declining the invitation. It is like you knew our hearts. We cannot go to celebrate devolution when so much money is being put to waste. I do not want to touch on the Senate, but it is their responsibility to oversee the county governments and to enact legislation that will control them not to misuse funds. All the county governments have proved that there is a lot of corruption. The Kshs48 million that has been contributed by the County Government of Kitui to the CoG Secretariat is a very big shame. I am sure Members ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. Over the weekend, I was in my constituency, where I talked until my voice became hoarse. Despite my hoarse voice, I will contribute to this debate. I am happy that the Committee did a good job. They consulted more than 27 groups. It is good that whenever we deal with a Bill touching on land, we consult our public to know their interests. That is what the Committee has done and that is why I support the Bill. Earlier on, I raised concern that the powers that were conferred on the ... view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 31 talks about the rights of all community members, including women and people living with disabilities, to benefit from community lands. I listened to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee, who talked very well. We have seen communities that have been exploited by the well-to-do, well-schooled and opinion leaders. Such elite groups have exploited the ignorance of ordinary Kenyans. They were convinced to sell their community land or use the land as security for bank loans, only for the communities to subsequently realise that their land has been sold. I am happy that the Chairman has expounded on this ... view
