• 2 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the good job that he is doing. I believe and trust that Hon. Atandi is up to the task. I worked with him in a private capacity before I came to this House. He knows finance matters, and he will do a good job. I do not want to say much regarding the issue. We seem to get into problems with our counterparts in the Senate on the Division of Revenue Bill, year in and year out. Everyone needs to understand that ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in National Assembly: expect that the Senators will give us a figure of about Ksh420 billion or Ksh425 billion. They will target an increase of about Ksh15 billion to Ksh20 billion. We have seen that trend in the last two years. Ksh405 billion has been shared each year with our counties from the onset of devolution. If you were to share this money equally amongst our constituencies, each would receive about Ksh1.3 billion. Nairobi County receives the largest share, which is over Ksh20 billion. We need to show Kenyans what this money is doing. We can show Kenyans what the National Government Constituencies ... view

• 6 Mar 2025 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding the status of the 2024/2025 work plan for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). In November 2024, the High Court extended its orders freezing the disbursement of the Ksh10.5 billion Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) in conditional grants allocated to counties for the Financial Year 2024/2025, pending the determination of a court case on the Fund. The money from the Road Maintenance Levy Fund, ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I congratulate Hon. Kimilu for bringing this very important Bill. Social workers in developed countries have a very well established system. In countries such as the United Kingdom (UK), Germany and United States of America (USA), social workers are the backbone of the vulnerable in those societies. You only find social workers in hospitals in Kenya. They are in Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH). They usually assist patients who have hospital bills and cannot raise the funds. Those patients are ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in National Assembly: orphans in Nairobi, but there are people who need slightly more. Social workers will help us. More importantly, they will upgrade the Community Health Promoters (CHPs) who are doing a commendable job. However, they should also be trained as social workers so as to work well within our communities. It is time we pushed out the Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in as much as they do a lot of work. The Government must now come in and occupy that space. We allowed that space to be taken over by various NGOs, who have been doing a commendable job. Unfortunately, they are ... view

• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: My Question was important because of the Report of about 200,000 students not joining Form One. Next year, we will have Form Ones. I have followed the same with the Departmental Committee on Education and the Cabinet Secretary, who had said he would give a response. It is time barred. My proposal had been that in high schools next year, we can provide for, at least, one school per constituency to mop up the over 200,000 Form One’s. In my constituency, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 5 Dec 2024 in National Assembly: for example, I know a certain number who would like to join Form One. We do not know what to do with them, unless the Ministry guides us. The Cabinet Secretary had said that it was a good idea, but he wanted to make a formal statement. view
