• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am much guided. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Bill. I want to join my colleagues in acknowledging that we must maintain a distinction between Members of the National Assembly and Members of the Senate. Article 96 of the Constitution is very clear. We should adhere to the rule of law. The Senate must oversee the counties. It appears like Senators have failed in their duties because since we came to this Parliament, I have never seen one governor being summoned by the Senate to answer audit queries and yet, there is a lot of theft in the ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Roads are the backbone of infrastructure and economic growth and, therefore, it is not something we should play around with. What the Senators are trying to do is an abuse of legislative powers. Luckily enough, the amendments must come to this House. Were it not done that way, then they would have gotten away with those amendments and included themselves in the running of the affairs of roads. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: In the current Roads Act, our NG-CDF Members are the ones who sit in the roads committees. The Senators now want to bring their members to the committee so that they can manage the roads themselves. They also want to bring in the governors. Some of us do not work very closely with the governors because we also want to be governors. I want to be the next governor of Kitui County. So, bringing my governor to rein on my road then it means that I will not do anything. Therefore, we must separate the powers of the governors and ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: What the Leader of the Majority Party does not know is that he has no capacity to decide who will become the next governor of Kitui County. He never decided whether I should come to this House. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: County governments want to be godfathers. The Senate wants to bring the county government to the roads and, therefore, we should vehemently oppose these amendments so that we can continue managing KeRRA roads the way we have been doing. I think we have been doing so very well. I do not see any problem but this will bring a lot of conflict of interest. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: There is also an amendment where the LSK is being brought on board. The LSK has no business in infrastructure. They make laws. I sit in the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. We looked at this and we decided that we should expunge the LSK from the board. There is also an amendment which says that when you are doing roads, and you want to access water, you must consult the governor. I do not think that is acceptable because KeRRA roads are under the national Government. The Constitution is very clear that if we have to consult ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: governor and you are not in terms with him or her, you will never do any roads. That is because he or she will never allow you to access water. Therefore, I strongly oppose this amendment and recommend that we mediate with the Senate. If mediation fails, then the Bill should die and we continue with what we have been doing. Therefore, I oppose. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I want to start by congratulating the Committee for a job well done. This is a very special Motion because it touches on the Members of Parliament and their performance on the ground. Therefore, the Motion is timely and I want to support it from the bottom of my heart. view
