• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other bit is that the Auditor-General will be more responsible. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, can you save me from hon. Obura and hon. K’oyoo who are talking loudly? Hon. Obura, thank you for listening. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the final bit that I am looking at is that the Auditor-General will now be more responsible because in Clause 4 the Auditor-General will be a corporate body that can be sued and also sue. This was lacking in the previous Bill. Now information can be passed by ordinary mwananchi to the Auditor-General and if they fail to address it, they can be sued for negligence. Similarly, they can also go ahead and sue institutions that are not responsible. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I think this Bill is timely. We came up ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving the opportunity to talk on this Motion. From the outset, I would like to say that it is not bad to borrow. That is why we have financial institutions and capital markets. It is from borrowing that we can grow our businesses and economy. I will not support this particular Motion the way it is without further clarification and more information being provided. I do not know why there is this feel-good-mood with the Treasury; that they now want to borrow all over. I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: do not know whether it is the rebasing of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or the expected flow of revenue from the oil. These are just illusions and it will be important that Treasury provides more information. The Mover of the Motion went through the projects that need to be done which he called the justification; he went through the LAPSSET, the 10,000 Kilometer road and the irrigation to be done from external borrowing. What he failed to do is; we can do all these things but unless we address the issue of insecurity, which should be factored in, we ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me send my condolences to the families of the Kenyans who were murdered the other day and those who were murdered before. I do not think that the problem of security in our country cannot be categorized. Look at the kind of security that we, Members of the National Assembly and the Senators, arrange for ourselves. If you go to the counties, you will see how the governors have arranged for their security. The only person who has no security in this country is the common mwananchi . We attribute this to selfishness, ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The other reason, as I said is tribalism where certain positions are earmarked for certain people, even if they do not qualify. We need to look into this. The other problem is the business as usual attitude with the Government. They do not care. The 10 per cent of the Constitution that was said to be bad should form part of the dialogue in terms of how we should change it. This informs the security challenge that we are witnessing in this country. My colleague talked about the Budget and the fact that we allocate adequate money to the security ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also arise to support this amendment Bill. A lot has been said about the drafting, the numbering and the mix-up of the various environmental laws addressing the same thing. I will not dwell on that aspect, but rather make my contribution by pointing out the fact that this Bill seeks to streamline the old environmental law that was used during the centralised system of governance, so that it can fit in the decentralised system of governance. To that extent, it is good because it takes into account what is happening now. view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill stipulates how our environment should be managed to ensure sustainability of the earth, which is home to the entire humanity. This is in conformity with what has become the international requirement, particularly with regard to international agencies – including our development partners. To that extent, we are simply conforming to what is happening internationally. view
