• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If you look at the usage of the NG-CDF, the reports that we get from the Auditor-General on the audited accounts and the reports that we peruse through in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the Public Investments Committee (PIC), you will realise that many Members of the National Assembly and the Senate are implicated. So, we can start by cleaning ourselves. The Bible says that you should remove the log in your eye before you catch the small piece in your brother's eye. I do not want to dwell on that because I ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: million. Interestingly, the hospital has no fence. Dogs and people move everywhere. You start asking yourself why they erected a gate without a fence. That is what we call wastage of resources. We have also heard of wheelbarrows costing so much money when we know the cost of a wheelbarrow. We have heard of unnecessary trips which are called benchmarking trips and some governors live like kings. You go to some counties and find governors ferrying their toilets in every place they go. Even if they come to your homestead as visitors, they will carry them. They store them in ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The cry of the people of my constituency, Kitui West, is school fees for secondary school students. The people from Kitui West and I am sure even Tiaty where Hon. Osman Kamama and Hon. Tiyah come from, school fees for secondary school is a big problem. When a Member of Parliament wakes up he is asked for school fees for needy children. They tell you that their children have been sent home for school fees. The next Government has to consider making secondary education free of charge because that is what is troubling most Kenyans. They know the importance of ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The other problem is health insurance for all people. If we promoted and streamlined the NHIF and made it practical and mandatory for everybody to have the NHIF card, we will sort out this problem of corruption in hospitals. The problem of regularly fundraising for someone to be taken to hospital will end with mandatory NHIF cards. People are dying in houses because they cannot afford medical expenses. They choose between buying food and taking their patients to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: hospital. Members can confirm that what I am saying is the truth. Therefore, those two things should be made available. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: About devolution, I have heard some Members say that because of the challenges we are facing in the health sector, we should return it back to the national Government. They cannot be wrong than that. Devolution means devolving power, responsibilities and resources to match those activities to the counties. Let us not return the health sector functions to the national Government. Let it be managed properly and let us also fight corruption. With Archbishop Wabukala at the EACC, a man of God who will pray first and lead people by example, I am sure this time we have got it ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The Government has done well to connect many people to the electricity grid. However, in a place called Mwangya in my constituency and other places, they put some poles and there is no electricity. They put a transformer that blew off and when people reported, they carried it away. It is now about a year and there is no electricity. They keep on complaining. Let the Ministry of Energy make this straight. We, as the representatives of people are tired of not getting connected when the Government believes it has connected everybody. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: It is very unfair that in some places, there are schools which are very near to the grid and some corrupt officials or contractors install solar panels in those schools. Solar panels are not connected to the grid. All the schools that are near the grid should be connected to electricity and the Ministry of Energy should import proper transformers and fix them. This will ensure that the Ministry of Energy does not lie to people that they have connected them to electricity. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The cost of living is very high. I want to request the Budget and Appropriations Committee to streamline taxation. When you tax things like petroleum or fuel, you touch every Kenyan and you are taxing the poor people making them poorer when there are other people who are rich and have so much to be taxed, but they are clever and never get taxed. Next time, when we look at our Budget, let us make sure that we do not tax things like petroleum products highly. Everybody travels and manufacturers use fuel. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: We from Kitui County are lucky that we are so endowed with minerals. We have more minerals of more networth than Turkana and Taita Taveta. We have the best lignite coal in the world, which has never been extracted. Ten years down the line, the people of Kitui have been told that the Government is building a power generating plant in Lamu, yet the coal is in Kitui. Let that business of Lamu stop. Let Kitui have the factory, produce electricity, supply and export. We have coal that is worth over Kshs10 trillion, which is more than what Tullow Oil ... view
