• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: substances. In any case, we have a history. We have people like Kipchoge Keino and Rose Tata- Muya of those days. They conquered the world without using drugs. However, I feel that they do not take the drugs out of their will. There must be some sneakers who are people who are not endowed with the gift of running like our young people and who want to make money using the young people. It is enumerated here that we have agents, managers and coaches. When you look at the list, you find that most of them may not even be ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope and pray that when election time comes, they will remember gender balance. It is alleged that women are less corrupt than men. We hope that they will elect women into these positions and this will help a bit. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the proposed amendment. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Bill on revenue allocation between the two levels of Government of Kenya. To start with, we hear a lot of complaints and cries from the devolved systems of this country saying that they do not have enough money and yet when you look at the percentages, there is a progressive increment such that there should not be such complaints. What we should hear is the use of that money and also how much money they are collecting at their own levels. Devolution was a celebrated event in this ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: do anything. The Senators have not been given money to visit the counties and see what is happening. I am glad that now that we have given them some money, they will be able to have extra oversight. The county assemblies have not been able to oversee the executive arm of the county governments. We hope that the Senators will now control that to some extent. I am happy about the leasing of the health equipment. In the past, people used to travel very long distances in search of equipment like scanning machines. In Baringo, you will find people headed ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The leasing of the equipment is good. In the past, government agencies used to buy the equipment but because of corruption - I understand that the technicians would mess up with the machines in public hospitals while their friends’ around the corner would be working and they would send patients there. By leasing them, you tie the supplier to the maintenance of the machine. In that respect, we may not see many of them breaking down because it is part of the contract that they have to maintain the equipment. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The money that has been provided for free maternity is a plus to the Executive. The reduction of mortality rate and even the suffering of the women has gone down. We now have an increase in the number of babies delivered in health institutions. Women of this country are a happy lot because of this. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The Kshs6 billion Equalisation Fund had become a thorn in the flesh. The money had been promised, budgeted for but there was no release of the same. I am happy that we now have Kshs6 billion going to the Equalisation Fund and the fact that it has now been given to the constituencies instead of lumping everything in the hands of governors is a good thing. At least, let us spread the risk so much that we may get common people benefiting from this money. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Money for old persons is another aspect that has excited the common people. So many others are complaining that they have not been included in that bracket. There is even a delay right now because when I go home I find so many old people going to the social department offices and they sit out there waiting for the money. The Government needs to speed up the disbursement of that money. This is a good thing because older persons are able to buy food or medicine. At that age, diseases are common. The mode of payment is another thing. They ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The issue of monitoring the money that is devolved is a very serious one in this country. If things continue the way they are, we may end up creating a devolved system that consumes so much money and at the end of the day the country becomes poorer and poorer. view
