• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: queues there are so long. The sick persons are told to go home and come back after, say, six months. They are forced to go home to die. This is an area I am appealing to hon. Mutava Musyimi to consider because Kenyans are suffering. Please put more money and support the initiative by the first lady Margret Kenyatta to have mobile clinics so that mothers who give life can do it in dignity in their counties. All the 47 counties should have mobile clinics at all hospitals and should have enough medicine where people can be attended to without ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to congratulate hon. Chepkong’a and his Committee of 28 Members for coming up with a thorough Report. They did due diligence and so the Report is fair, thorough and correct. As we have heard from hon. Ochieng, all the 28 Members agreed unanimously to reject the appointment of Dr. Kabue. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this country has witnessed appointments which are skewed. This process of appointing people should adhere to the national values found in Article 10 of the Constitution. The national values require regional balance. These days, we do not hear of Mutunga, Ouma, Wafula or Osiemo. We want this one to be balanced. In the next appointments, we want to see the face of Kenya reflected. That way, we shall be adhering to the Constitution. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Dr. Kabue’s name was not in the list of the eight names, as you have heard. His name was not forwarded to the President. We The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: have also seen that Dr. Kabue was ranked tenth in the shortlist. In my view, the Committee has done a good job. The nomination of Dr. Kabue violates Section 11(5) of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Act and it should be rejected by this Parliament. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: A fresh recruitment under Section 11 of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Act must begin. As to where we can place Dr. Kabue, if we support the Committee’s recommendation, the President could find another place to appoint him. In fulfilling the mandate, the Committee’s recommendation considered the principles outlined in Section 7 of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights Act which states: “In fulfilling its mandate, the Commission shall act in accordance with the values and principles set out in the Constitution and the laws of Kenya and shall observe and respect:- (a) the diversity of the ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill; the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, National Assembly Bill, No.40 of 2014. I note that this Bill has a deadline and it is good that it has come because those who have known this country for a long time know that Kenya can be described as a country of 42 million people and 18 million live below the poverty line. When we talk about living below the poverty line, I mean they earn less than Kshs100 a day. That is 18 million Kenyans. ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: For us as a country to boost economic growth and to grow at a pace where we drive out poverty and everybody enjoys a fairly comfortable life, we have to correct those problems that we have been having in procurement. It is common knowledge that in most of the tendering, those who tender are predetermined. Before you even tender, there are arrangements and it becomes very inflated so that there is money for kitu kidogo and that is what kills the economy. In 2007, the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA) estimated that procuring entities were buying at an average of ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The Constitution requires prudent use of taxpayers’ money so as to ensure value for money for whatever we do. Our economy runs into a Kshs1 trillion plus but because of wastage, corruption and unfair procurement processes, we lose so much and very little money goes to development. All the big scandals that we have had were to do with procurement. We have had Goldenberg, Anglo Leasing and todaywe are talking about “chicken gate”. I am happy that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is taking action. Today, I read in the newspapers that the Kenya Ports Authority Board has suspended top ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: national Government and county governments, this country would develop very fast. But as things are both at the national Government and county governments, we have not eradicated corruption although we have tried to fight it. We have not succeeded. Corruption has increased instead of decreasing. In our school curriculum, we have to start teaching our children good values of financial management where you do not engage in corruption and all these other vices. Instead of fighting corruption through prosecution, we should nib it at the bud and stop it. People will not have appetite for it. India, which is one ... view
