• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I am sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had gone to consult. I am here. I thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this debate. I support the Amendment. It is unfortunate that as we debate this Bill, we are aligning ourselves to our political parties. It is only important that as Members of the House we contribute to this debate based on the knowledge that we have. I want to make my personal contribution that is not aligned to any party. Hon. Speaker, I support that it is important to do party lists after elections because ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: used to nominate them. We have never seen them when running campaigns. We have never even heard about them, but you see them on the nomination lists. You wonder who they are and yet they are nominated in your party. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: So, unless otherwise stated, this is the way to go. I support and thank you Hon. Florence for bringing this amendment. Members, I beg you that we do not debate in this House aligning ourselves to party lines. It is not healthy. Let us debate soberly and objectively so that we can still hold the integrity that we were given by the people who elected us to represent them here. There is no point of others doing some things that look like divide and rule in the House. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you so much and I support. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I request for your protection. There are some people who are harassing me before I talk. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Your protection is needed, especially from Nominee 001. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He does not know me. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you so much for giving me this chance to also discuss this Bill in the House, together with my colleagues. At the outset, the amendment Bill is good despite the fact that there are a few things that need to be looked into and many Members have discussed them. This Bill seems to have come late. We have been asking questions on how things are being transacted down there in our counties. It is high time that we check on what is happening through ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: With regard to ethnicity, it is very unfortunate that even though the Constitution is very clear on those matters, the fact remains that devolution is equated to majimbo in the way things are happening in terms of employment. When you go to a certain county - and I want to give the example of my county so that I am not attacking anybody - you might find that everyone who is employed is a Kalenjin. I tend to believe that this is what is happening elsewhere. How will this Bill treat that? We also have the Kamaus, Onyangos, Mohammeds and ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other big issue is the wage bill. It overrides development in our counties. Every governor who comes in wants to reward and please his people. The only way to do that is to give job opportunities. By doing that, a huge amount of the allocation that goes to the county governments is now taken up by wages. How does this Bill treat this? What is the remedy? The wage bill is over 50 per cent in some counties. When will we attain development? It is a big matter that we need to address. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I also have something that happens in some of the counties. When the term of a particular office of the county public service board ends, it takes quite some time for the governor to appoint another one. It delays development. Some counties take as long as even one year. What does the Constitution say? How is it treated? Within which time should it be replaced? Those are some of the things that we need to look into, so that our counties develop and our country grows. view
