• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is true that corruption in this country is deep-rooted into our political system. It is good that His Excellency the President tried to tackle it head on. However, one gets a feeling that the President is being let down by the people around him, because he seems to know exactly what to do about corruption, but one wonders why this go-top, go-stop. It is also good to mention the President‟s directive that those who have been caught up in corruption allegations should step aside; that this is not the first time that people are stepping aside because ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I said that His Excellency the President is being let down because if you read the „List of Shame‟, you will see that it makes no sense. It appears that nobody looked at it before giving it to the President. As one of our colleagues has mentioned, Hezron Awiti is being referred to as the Governor of Homa Bay in this Report, when he is not the Governor of Homa Bay. This means nobody looked at this list. On that score, again, it was said last year that the Standard Gauge Railway project was full of corruption, but we ... view

• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to congratulate those who have worked tirelessly to bring this Bill to Parliament and all of us who have sat here to make sure that it goes through. The people who have benefited most in this Bill are our children as this Bill will bring harmony in the homes. Children are our future and our investment. I do not think that anybody, even if they are violent to their wives or husbands, would want their children to be brought up in a chaotic home. This Bill will go a long way ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to talk about the Budget Policy Statement, as amended twice. I will not dwell much on the figures that have been presented in this Budget Policy Statement because, we, in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, looked at this document very adequately. The accounting bit of the Budget Policy Statement has been adequately addressed. Therefore, I do not want to go into that aspect. I will address myself to some deficiencies or shortcomings that I have noted in the Budget Policy Statement. The Budget Policy Statement should spell out the ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Going back to what I said earlier, what seems to be happening at the National Treasury, where we are not getting information about the programmes made, it appears that there is lack of adequate monitoring and evaluation. If there was monitoring and evaluation, we would be getting the status of the programmes that were in the Budget Policy Statement before. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other weakness I detect in the Budget Policy Statement is that it does not give us the dangerous areas that may drag our economy and not make us achieve the percentages we are saying the ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: This is because the contribution of the manufacturing sector to the GDP is low and this may make the projections not to be achieved, hon. Speaker. More so, the Kenyan population is only under 40 million people and this, if it is the only market we are looking at, we may not grow as much as we are projecting. The BPS should come up and tell us how this manufacturing is going to position itself with respect to COMESA wider market because the Kenya population which is slightly under 40 million people is not sufficient to provide meaningful push in ... view
