• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The destination where the money is being taken is good. It makes sense that we need to have teachers for TVETs. Vocational training is the way to go if we want to have the Big Four Agenda achieved. What is of concern is where the money is coming from. Of course, we know the deplorable condition in which our police are living. What I would like to understand is the amount of money allocated to police housing and how much money we are retaining to deal with the matter of police housing if we ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I just wanted to understand that with the removal of the Kshs2 billion for the registration system to be acquired, is it being moved from the Immigration and Citizen Services directly to Interior and Coordination? Does this mean that services for registration, production of passports and identity cards is now being moved from Immigration and Citizen Services to be directly under the Department of Interior and Coordination? This is the understanding that we need to have so that, even as we move the money, we take note of the changes. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Member for Funyula has really spoken well. I would like to support this amendment. The reason is that this amendment is sending the right message. We are telling our children that apart from trooping to universities, sometimes to study courses that can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: give you no job, we are focusing on technical training. Technical training is important. It is good. It is a place to go to. The money might not be much, but the message we are sending to our children is that technical vocational training is just as important, if not more. Thank you. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want you to note that we did not put the Question of the final two programmes in the previous Vote. We handled the national statistical information and then we went straight to the global figure. We are learning this process of the Committee of Supply. We need to know whether every programme is subjected to votes because you combine them sometimes. We need to know what we are doing. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the debate on the Report on the Budget. I would like to congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for taking their role very seriously in terms of engaging with Parliament as far as budget-making is concerned. Previously, the Budget Estimates would come from the Executive, and Parliament would make very minimal changes to the document. We have since seen a lot of reallocations done by the Budget and Appropriations Committee, domiciling the budget-making power in Parliament. We now realise that the power to make the national Budget ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the reason why Committees are engaged in budget-making process is to allow them to interact directly with the State departments. Recommendations that committees make should be taken as seriously as possible. Ninety per cent of the recommendations that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare made to the Budget and Appropriations Committee were all taken out. The Committee went ahead and made the Report in the way they only knew how. I want to register that. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to say that it is a good thing that the national safety net programme has an additional Kshs100million to operationalise 290 social assistance committees. The Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare had recommended to allocate Kshs290million, which is Kshs1 million for each constituency towards the operationalisation of the constituency social development committees. It cannot be five minutes since I started talking. This reduction to Kshs100million is something because we had committees on the ground to help to select the elderly, but they have never been facilitated. So, I am glad that, at least, something has gone ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The marginal increase in the national Government Affirmative Action Fund is appreciated. However, we hoped that this could have been a little more, so that we can have a fund that can do something instead of having one that is too minimal to make any impact. We know that there could be politics around that, but we hope that women representatives can also get the same treatment as Members of this very dignified National Assembly. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is sabotage! view
