• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I have no issue with health services staying with the county governments. But the Governors need some speed governors. They need to be controlled. view
• 20 Aug 2014 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
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The first speed governors they have been given are the County Development Boards (CDBs). We now need to devolve the functions of the Auditor-General so that whatever those people are doing in the counties is monitored. That is because when they come to Nairobi to hold meetings in hotels here, they are spending so much money without first checking whether the audit facilities are running. Therefore, it is this Parliament and us to control the county governments through putting proper measures in their operations. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, they are misusing the funds that Kenyans are paying taxes for and it is high time that we put measures, as a House, to control various services being run within the county governments. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, yesterday I asked whether the Clerk of the National Assembly could do some profile on parliamentary business, so that when children from our schools visit Parliament they can be given some literature to carry home. It is common knowledge that whichever institution you visit all over the country today, there is some literature on what those institutions do. I think it is high time Parliament, through the Clerk of the National Assembly, did a profile of Parliament and printed it for our school children to carry home whenever they visit us. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I support the amendment. However, the Chairman of the Committee should have gone further to explain to the House whether after the law was changed to allow people who have committed capital offences to go out on bail those offences increased or decreased; in that way we, Members, can contribute to this from a point of knowledge. view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With your permission, I would like to point out that today; we had a record number of students in this Parliament. I would like to request the Clerk of the National Assembly to make arrangements to print a profile of Parliamentarians and Parliament so that when children come here, they have something to carry back home to inform others that they are from Parliament. That is because I have met with several students at the gate going home without carrying anything to make them remember Parliament. I believe some of us, when we were ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on the Finance Bill, it is timely and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) should enhance collecting taxes in this country. For example, at the border points like Namanga, Mombasa and the rest, many companies evade tax payment. That is why when you walk around, you can buy an item at a high price and another one at half the price and they are the same. That is because some companies are evading paying taxes. Therefore, those tax collectors who have stayed at border points for many years should be posted elsewhere, so that new people can take ... view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, after taxes have been collected and distributed to various departments in this country, the Government should be able to oversight through the Controller of Budget to know how that money has been used. After that money has been taken to the counties and to the National Government, the Auditor-General should be able to account for all the monies that have been given out. That is because we are collecting so many taxes but when they go to the counties or areas of distribution, they do not reach the public who are supposed to use them. The ... view
