• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to start by thanking the Departmental Committee on Lands for coming up with a very comprehensive Report based on the Petition relating to the land in Ruaraka. I would like to highlight a few issues in the Report. Let me start by saying that I fully agree with the recommendation of the Committee. The process of acquiring land compulsorily for public use is clearly spelt out in our Constitution. There are clear provisions in our Constitution, especially Article 40(3) as well as the Land Act 2012, which provides for clear procedures on how the Government can acquire land ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: AG, who also gave his opinion, as well as the Ministry of Lands, also need to be investigated so that we can establish whether there was collusion amongst these various actors in the public sector and, therefore, apportion each one of them a fair share of the blame for making us lose Kshs1.5 billion. It is very interesting that there was no public participation in this process. Ideally, once the need for land is established, once the relevant county or national Government department makes preliminary notice to the NLC and they agree with the need for that land and the ... view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Hon. Member who has brought this Motion. As we speak about violations of rights of our fellow Members, in other parts of Kenya such as my constituency, we have police officers’ rights being violated by armed civilians. It is unfortunate that in developed parts of Kenya for political reasons, hundreds of policemen are sent to arrest Hon. Members while in a constituency such as mine, very few police officers who are ill equipped are sent to deal with cattle rustlers. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yesterday, we lost two police officers, an administrative police post was overrun by bandits and yet these officers who were sent to arrest Hon. Members who are suspected to have been involved in certain criminal offences which are civil in nature and bailable, could be deployed in a constituency like mine to protect lives and properties of Kenyans. I take this opportunity to condole with the families of very young officers whom we lost in Isiolo as they were pursuing rustlers. As we speak, our police County Commander for Isiolo is admitted at Aga Khan Hospital as a result of ... view

• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I would like to start by thanking the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the very thorough job they have done. As parliamentarians, our role of oversight is not limited to looking at expenditure, but rather we should be concerned about how projects are identified, as well as how allocation of available resources to prioritised projects is done. Thereafter, how Government ministries and agencies spend the money that they are allocated. view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am glad that for the first time, this Committee has indicated that the National Treasury is more forthcoming with information. We are coming from a situation where a lot of information was withheld from the members of the public and at times, even from the committee of this House which is supposed to scrutinise the Budget. In the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, one key area that we identified as a gap is the Big Four Agenda and how resources are allocated to ensure that this objective is achieved. We realised that ministries are struggling to align ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: For example, looking at the universal healthcare without community health volunteers, it will be very difficult for this country to achieve what it intends to under this particular agenda. These people do not earn anything but are very key in ensuring that our people access basic healthcare. Unfortunately, as it has been highlighted in this particular Report, nothing has been provided to help motivate community health volunteers. Another important thing which has been captured in this particular Report, which I agree with although the amount allocated is not enough, is infrastructure development. Some amounts have specifically been allocated to ensure ... view
• 6 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Without infrastructure, it will be very difficult for us to realise the economic development we intend to achieve as a country. This is in order although the amount allocated is far much below what the Cabinet Secretary and Principal Secretary in charge of the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development indicated they require to help rehabilitate the infrastructure that has been destroyed by floods, which have been occasioned by enhanced rain during the season which has ended. The Equalisation Fund is one of the most important elements in the current Constitution purposely put there to enable the marginalised ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the President’s Speech. view
