• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: if a policy is to irrigate one million acres, it has to be done. However, where you have to consult and then you pass through so much bureaucracy, it is not easy for you to implement any single thing. Devolution is eating into a lot of our resources and that is why there is no money in this country. That is one reason but there are other reasons. The other one is lack of security. There is so much insecurity everywhere and we cannot blame the police force because every time there is insecurity people say the regular police force ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: more money for bursaries because of the poverty that we have in our countryside. In fact, if your Committee can increase the money for bursaries so that each child gets education, it would even be better than building modern classrooms. With that hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. I still have 15 minutes. I want to donate my time to Diriye. view

• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to the Kenya Qualifications Framework Bill, 2013. I stand to oppose this Bill with reasons. All these institutions, be it institutions of higher learning or whichever institutions, have their own structures and the manner of setting their qualifications. If we set up a qualification authority, it will not be an expert in all those areas. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hon. Members in this august House should read the mood in the country. We do not want the ballooning wage bill to continue growing big. There is a cash crisis at the moment. Instead of creating more positions that will eat into our economy, we should come up with ideas on how to reduce our expenditure because it is too much. If this Bill was to harmonize everything else, it would have been a good idea. But at the moment I think if we support this Bill, we will be going against the mood in the country. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are many pressing issues in the country. The President and his Deputy said that at a retreat and did a symbolic reduction of their salaries. For us to support them to cut the wage bill, I think we should resist the creation of authorities that take a lot of money. We cannot go down to the people who earn nothing or very little. If their salaries are reduced, there will be nothing left. For example, teachers, doctors and Members of Parliament have very little left because they have taken loans. But those who are paid so much, ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am sure hon. Members know that more than half of their constituents, wherever they are, do not take breakfast every morning. That is what we should be addressing instead of setting up boards, commissions and so forth. We need to address the poverty problem by making the economy grow and thus, creating more wealth. Equitable sharing of resources should be embraced so that people can educate their children as education is very important. Hon. Speaker, some districts like mine were ranked over 40 overall, but we are struggling to be number one in the country in the ... view
