• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: As we speak, all the counties which are classified as ASALs are experiencing drought. Unfortunately, when we experience drought right now, we are forced to do a supplementary budget to respond to needs of the affected population. Once this fund is operationalised, it will help us avoid a situation where we divert monies meant for development to respond to drought. Actually, a good practice in drought management is to have contingency funds set aside with clear guidelines so that as and when the situation requires emergency response in different sectors, those funds are used rather than reallocating monies meant for ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this proposed amendment Bill. This is an amendment that ought to have come earlier than today. As we debate it, as a nation, we should be cognizant of the fact that we are sitting on a potential crisis. Today, the IEBC has only three commissioners. That is the minimum acceptable number as per our Constitution. We know that the IEBC is one of the constitutional commissions according to Chapter 15 of the Constitution. One of the objects of having those 10 commissions, along with two independent offices, among many other ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: of nine commissioners. That is what has helped the three commissioners who were left to run the IEBC and carry out administrative duties. They have expressed their constraints in terms of looking at policy issues. However, at the time we had the four commissioners resigning – we are Kenyans and we have to be frank with ourselves – most of those resignations were triggered politically to cripple the IEBC. Before the handshake, if we are true to ourselves, we are aware that our own Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs had been asking those commissioners whether truly, they were ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to also comment on this Report. I would like to start by appreciating the important role that the KDF plays and, by extension, the need to facilitate it have the infrastructure it requires to provide defence for our country. However, having read this Report very clearly, I hesitate. I have gone through this Report and I have a number of concerns that constrains me from supporting it. Going through this Report, I realise that the KDF and the NLC, if you look at the submission by the Colonel who is the ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: this report or why we should encourage the military to do due diligence and proceed with compensating people and continuing with the project. I would like to echo what my County Women Representative, Hon. Rehema has said. My own county, and specifically my own constituency of Isiolo North is host to the largest number of military barracks in this Republic. And we have been having issues with the military every time extending the boundaries. We have issues with the 78 Tankers Battalion, Soy School of Infantry and so on and so forth. They extend the boundaries and keep on harassing ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank the Mover for donating part of his time. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Motion and the amendment on the aspect of providing incentives to pastoralists and fisherfolk. We need to ask ourselves why we have a huge trade deficit. We do not export in large quantities and probably what we export does not earn us enough because it is raw materials rather than finished products. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to focus on the livestock sector specifically on the leather sub-sector. Agriculture contributes 26 per cent to the GDP. Therefore, if we have to bridge the gap, we must invest in value addition of agricultural products: crop, livestock, fish and so on. In the Big Four Agenda, we have value addition to leather as a key focus of manufacturing. Unfortunately, while this subsector focuses on the Big Four Agenda, as we speak today, the people I represent in this House, throw away hides and skins because they do not fetch good prices when they decide to sell ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support what the Member has presented. Actually, it is unfortunate that when officers serving this country in different professions retire, it becomes very difficult for them to get what is due to them. More often than not, as Members of Parliament, from time to time, we are required to make follow-up with the institution which is managing pension schemes for public service. So, I think streamlining pension systems is very important. From the time county governments came into force, there has been a lot of confusion as to what happens ... view
