• 13 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker and the Cabinet Secretary for his response. My follow-up is basically that these amounts for KeRRA have consistently been reducing. The fact that our committee went to the ground and budgeted even for these savings that were going to occur, then how can the Cabinet Secretary guarantee that this will not repeat itself in the subsequent financial years especially considering that the reduction that occurred and the notice that came out gravely affected projects that were going. It also affected contracts which had already been committed to certain projects. That means there are incomplete works as ... view
• 13 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ride on that to add to what the Member for Westlands has said. Outer Ring Road has now become one of the most dangerous roads for pedestrians who are crossing. There is also Kangundo Road which is undergoing expansion and Mama Lucy Hospital is on one side. People and children have to cross the road from the other side. What measures will the Ministry be willing to undertake to mitigate the dangers, before they do the footbridges, especially on Kangundo Road? They could consider using Performance Based Contracts (PBC) and put traffic marshals ... 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
