• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I am raising a point of order because the Hon. Member has said that the local companies we are talking about are limited. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report. The Chairman of this Committee is my neighbour in Meru. He is in the neighbouring constituency but in the last two weeks, I am surprised because I do not know where he got powers to move from his constituency to my constituency to open a police station. What I do not know is whether he knows where his powers begin and where they end. view
• 30 Jun 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
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, these Reports that are tabled should be followed properly so that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands does not use power that is not his to do things and interfere with other constituencies. Meru has a great chance this time because the Chairman comes from the bordering county. Therefore, the issues that we have in Meru concerning Tharaka and Meru County should be solved at the earliest opportunity because we have an able Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands. Therefore, Hon. Chairman, before you solve problems in other counties, take an opportunity to solve the problems ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The able Chairman has used the powers of being the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands to interfere with issues in my constituency. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rose on a point of order. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have seen the Report and I support it. Land issues in this country have caused problems to people for a long time. After a Committee sits, some people purport to be acting on the directives of various politicians and cause chaos in constituencies. Therefore, I support this Report and say that it should be followed legally and to the letter. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. This is a very important Bill. There is a saying that power without control is useless. Whatever amount of money we give to public offices without having control from the Auditor- General will not be helping people but promoting corruption. During the Recess, I saw an advertisement in a newspaper, The Business Daily, where the Government was recalling all the monies held by parastatals. That monies that had been given by the National Treasury are being recalled shows that the Government is not keen on what is happening to that ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Bank of Kenya (CBK) so that when money is given out from the National Treasury and public institutions and parastatals are not using it immediately, it can be put in the reserve bank. The reserve bank will be paying a small interest to those parastatals unlike now where if money is given to a parastatal, the head of the parastatal goes to dicuss or negotiate the kind of interest he can earn on the money before using it. This will minimize corruption. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The Office of the Auditor-General should be devolved to various counties so that for money sent to counties, there is an audit by an external office which is not under the county government. That audit will help because right now the way money is being used in the counties is as if there is no control because the only control is in Nairobi, in the Transition Authority and the Auditor-General’s Office. So the Office of the Auditor- General should be devolved so that weekly and daily checks can be done on how the county governments are using the money. Some ... view
