• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, hon. Speaker. I am so guided. Coming to the serious matter of the EACC, we know that there has been tabled a petition on the Floor of this House by a member of the public against EACC. So, you wonder how the same EACC is going to be able to bring before us a credible report of people who have been named here as being investigated. That is a Report that we cannot trust. This is a serious matter. There are several matters that are missing including the matter of land that has been grabbed. We ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We were hoping that these kinds of issues were going to be seriously raised within this Report, hon. Deputy Speaker. We have not seen them in this Report. The history of stepping aside in this country is telling. There are people who have stepped aside but several days, months or years later, they have been reinstated without any action being taken against them. We must then seriously look at whether the people who have stepped aside now are under serious investigation. This is why I am raising the issue of EACC. I still strongly feel that this House should expeditiously ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Division of Revenue Bill of 2015. Reflecting back two years ago, we might be facing our challenges as a Parliament, but one of the key indicators that we have grown as a Parliament is the manner in which we are debating this Bill this year in comparison to how we have done it over the years. There is consensus. Now we have only come in to move it forward. I want to thank your leadership, the leadership of the Senate, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and all stakeholders ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The concerns are noted and in my contribution, I will also consider that other Members would like to contribute as we conclude this Division of Revenue Bill. 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
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: In the last couple of weeks, we have debated the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) which has largely informed the Division of Revenue Bill. The points that we raised during the BPS still hold. So, we are just adding onto what was already raised. Increasing money going to the counties is a welcome move. We hope that we can even raise this further to 45 per cent, not just of the audited accounts, but of the Budget. We hope that we can have as much money as possible going to the counties. However, we also expect equal responsibility from the counties ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Let me spend a few minutes and talk about a major part of this Division of Revenue Bill particularly that which has been sent to counties as conditional grants in the area of healthcare. As a health management professional, and I am sure that health management professionals across this country are worried because we are staring at a crisis in the face, we are sitting on a time bomb as far as our healthcare system in this country is concerned. Healthcare is about access, costs and quality. Right now, we are facing no access, prohibitive costs and poor quality. Let ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: and where we are going with the healthcare policy, financing, access to medication and quality in this country. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hoja ya nidhamu, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Kuna ile hoja ya nidhamu ambayo ililetwa ya kupunguza muda wa kuongea kuwa dakika tatu. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me this chance. I want to propose an amendment if this is allowable. Considering that the Division of Revenue Bill which is under Article114 of the Constitution is not a money Bill in my opinion, and the amendment is not fundamentally changing anything in any way--- The amendment proposed was a small addition on page 170 of the Bill where it says conditional grants from the Road Maintenance Fuel Levy, a Fund of Kshs3.3 billion which is being moved to counties. I want to add “this money be distributed equally among constituencies.” ... view
