• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, having gone through this Budget I have noted an item which is also very important. It is on the construction of county headquarters in five counties namely; Lamu, Isiolo, Nyandarua, Tana River and Tharaka Nithi. While the other four counties have received Kshs125 million, Tharaka Nithi has received a paltry Kshs3.152million. This is not explained.

• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: nobody is being malicious and that this is an error. However, I will be moving, through the BAC, that at least the money given to these five counties is shared pro rata and that each county gets… view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the proposed amendment on the grounds that it is vitally important that we take care of the IEBC, especially as we conclude the financial year and move into a new one, where we will provide more money to cater for pending bills. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Basically, if you look at what was allocated to the State Department for Tourism, it may not be an exigency as it is if you compare with IEBC, which has threads over its heads as regards to unpaid bills. When lawyers threaten to go to court to tax the bills, it essentially means that the amount of pending bills will increase and this will continue being a liability accumulated by the IEBC. This honourable House can move now and allocate Kshs500 million to the IEBC to cater for these pending bills to reduce the liability as a result of which ... view

• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President on 4th April in this House. On that day, the House was full and the Members were very attentive. I darted my eyes across and I could not see any Member who was resting his or her eyes. We were all listening to what His Excellency the President had to say about the three key constitutional issues that are to be addressed in the State of the Nation Address. What sent me wondering is that I have recently ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: There is a notion out there that the only time you hear Parliament is robust, see Parliament full or Members debating is when they are discussing something on the Order Paper that has to do with their perks. It is not true. So, let us all have something for the country, so that we can debate it here and the residents of the Republic of Kenya can know that we are doing a fantastic job and discharging our constitutional mandate. view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: The President’s Speech was highly balanced. There was emphasis on security, which cannot be compromised under any circumstances and facts or factors that may prevail. It is vitally important to tighten security in our country. It may not be fair to hear that even Members of Parliament are complaining about their security being withdrawn or the security of the second highest office holder in the country being compromised at the county or whatever level. Security is important and it must be assured for every Kenyan, however big or small, and wherever he or she is. Therefore, I laud the Report ... view
