• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to start by commending His Excellency the President for his good Speech. It is a clear demonstration that our President, who is a very humble man, is a statesman. I would like to appreciate a few things which I was able to note down as we listened to him yesterday. First, we have not had many occasions, especially in our continent, where sitting Presidents recognise the role played by other gallant sons in democratising a given country. The President’s appreciation of the role played by the late Hon. Kenneth Njindo Matiba stood out as something which we ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, it is also important that His Excellency the President appreciated the role played by our predecessors who are the Members of 11th Parliament. They were elected three years after promulgation of the Constitution 2010. They had the honour of facilitating the operationalisation of devolution through coming up with enabling legislation. They did a marvelous job. It is good that His Excellency the President appreciated that. We also have lessons drawn from their efforts. Some of the amendments to some pieces of legislation which are passed as a result of testing the laws were to facilitate operationalisation of legislation. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another very important point which His Excellency the President the President raised is the fact that in the first years of his leadership, he was able to allocate, with the support of Parliament, more than 15 per cent of our national income to counties. In fact, the amount of money allocated in the first five years is 56 per cent more than the minimum required by the Constitution. What we expect, which of course has happened in some of the counties, is for that additional funding to translate into improved service delivery to view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: . There are a number of areas we have had challenges as a country.

• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: cent. This could be attributed to the full devolution of the critical function of providing healthcare. We know that vaccination is very crucial in disease prevention. When we see vaccination coverage dropping, as legislators, we need to take that seriously. Our role is not just to pass the Bill which enables the national Government to allocate resources to county governments, but also to ensure that whatever resources that are allocated enable county governments to provide the required quality services. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: He appreciated that corruption is the single most stumbling block to our economic progress. He also said that some recovery of assets was done. To be specific, Kshs500 million worth of assets was recovered by the Ethic and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) which is commendable and an additional Kshs5 billion is in the process of being recovered. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: He also called upon the Judiciary to avoid a situation where they are used by criminals to defeat justice. That is also very important. Fortunately, our Chief Justice was seated in the Speaker’s Gallery listening. We hope that... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Keter for bringing up this Adjournment Motion. As Kenyans, we should realise that we are facing a very serious humanitarian crisis occasioned by the heavy rains we have received across the country. I want to draw attention of the Members to a Press release by the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) in form of a seasonal forecast which I feel was very misleading. The Press release was done on 19th February. It painted a seasonal forecast of depressed rainfall. What we have received is contrary to what they forecasted. ... view

• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because my time is up and I have a lot of important data, most importantly, from past experiences we are likely to have an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever. We need to be on the alert. We need to support the relevant Government agencies with adequate resources as we look at the Supplementary Budget. We need to allocate adequate resources to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and those other ministries which deal with disaster responses. Thank you very much. view
