• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even as I support, I would like you to rule that this Committee goes further and ensures that hon. Otieno Mak’Onyango gets his compensation. It should go ahead and investigate whether the President will bring the two view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I beg to move an amendment to this Motion even as I support it. The amendment I will propose will not alter the full import of this Motion. I am just concerned because the contentious issues we are raising as ably highlighted by my brother, hon. Ouma, are very clear. We should not pass the Motion without specifying those contentious issues within the Motion. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- THAT the Motion be amended by deleting the words after the word “alone” on the 16th line and replacing thereof with the words “this House resolves that the Government does not sign the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) in their current form until all outstanding issues especially the most favoured nation treatment, export taxes and development clauses as raised by the East African Community and Kenya in particular are conclusively addressed, and that the Government view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amended Motion and I note with gratitude the inclusion of our CDF allocation. As you are aware, we came into Parliament towards the end of March and since May students have been going back to school and they are looking for bursaries. In the month of May, schools were destroyed following the rains and classrooms require repair; in constituencies like ours, the only form of development we have seen is that initiated under the CDF. So, it is the only money I have. It is the budget we look at. ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I also note that there is nearly Kshs700 million reduction in the supplementary development grant, which I hope when the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee will rise to respond, he will clarify whether this is the money they had intended to use in building the former President’s office. We also know that in the previous Government another house was built somewhere in Central Province. So, let the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee kindly clarify whether the reduction of about Kshs700 million is the one they had intended to sneak in and get through. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the full import of this Motion is that there is a development expenditure of nearly Kshs28 billion. If you look at the Estimates, about Kshs11 billion is supposed to be for development expenditure in the National Treasury. What this means is that Kshs11 billion that was supposed to have been allocated elsewhere to do some other development was given to the National Treasury for development and they did not use it. This Motion also means that we are reallocating development expenditure of nearly Kshs10 billion to recurrent expenditure. That is what this Motion means. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, our country needs more Development Expenditure than Recurrent Expenditure. If at the end of a financial year we can afford to approve nearly Kshs10 billion that has already been spent on Recurrent Expenditure from the Consolidated Fund, this should not be acceptable. We look forward to more prudent budgeting, and we want assurance from the Budget and Appropriations Committee that in this Budget we will pay view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion and go a little further than just supporting it. I am a little perturbed. I have been view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not have any such intention. I was going to speak about the Motion as guided earlier. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that you have seen there is consensus in the House, would I be in order to ask that the Mover responds to this Motion and we put the Question? view
