• 7 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 7 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on Standing Order 38(2), which states that the Order Paper shall be published on the Parliamentary Website and shall be made available to Members, at least, twelve hours before the House meets but a Supplementary Order Paper shall be made available, at least, one hour before the House meets. Yesterday, the Leader of the Majority Party mentioned that there were Members who were not here to ask Questions but he was referring to an Order Paper that had already been supplanted by a Supplementary Order Paper. In the event that the Cabinet Secretary does not ... view
• 7 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am still on my point of order. When he says that Members are not in the House, he is not aware that… view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the Hon. Chairman together with my colleagues in the Committee for a job well done. From the get-go, I want to just highlight the issue of education. When he talks about education, you realise that it empowers individuals. Education is all about economic growth and stability. Education is all about poverty reduction. It improves health, promotes equality, encourages civil participation, fosters peace and stability, and drives technology and scientific progress. In a nutshell, it sets the groundwork for a better life. That is the mandate that all those institutions that have been discussed ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: disbursed were to the tune of Ksh800 million, but the project is incomplete. Why can we not do those projects in phases? If that money had been spent in phases, we could have partially opened some of those lecture rooms, libraries and have an ongoing project. That is something that the Ministry must look into. They must ensure that we do not have wastage where you just pour in Ksh800 million and if the funding does not come, then you just have an incomplete project that is not benefiting the students from that region. The other issue is on the ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: The support from the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG- CDF) has been amazing as has been mentioned with the situation in Suna East. We were able to reach out as a Committee, engaged the Committee there, together with the area Member of Parliament who immediately was able to support us. I encourage all those institutions to engage the NG-CDF. It must also be made clear that NG-CDF is not under the purview of Member of Parliament, but it is money that belongs to the people. We, however, intervened as a Committee to ensure that the people of Suna East ... view
• 16 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker view
• 16 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: I will refer to your better judgement and prefer that the Cabinet Secretary responds. I can re-draft the request for statement into a question. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank the Chairman of the Committee for his response. I can confirm some of the details because since I raised the question, there has been relief to those members and, more specifically, to Umoja II residents. They were compensated both financially and non-food items by the county so that they can rebuild their businesses and get back on their feet. The only issue I would like to add to some of those issues he has mentioned, is the issue of the modern markets. As he has proposed, I hope the Chairman of the Committee ... view
• 15 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Allow me to be the first one to congratulate Hon. Millie on her appointment as Whip of the Minority Party. I have to now get used to having a handbag next to me here. view
