• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, squatters across this country have undergone untold suffering. For instance, squatters who reside in Kakuzi Hills, Kakuzi-Kihumbuini Ward, in Gatanga Constituency are always harassed by the management of Kakuzi Limited. Kakuzi Limited has denied these squatters access to their homes unless they have gate passes, which they have to obtain from the Kakuzi Limited. The process of getting those gate passes is fairly The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following: Why Kenyans are required to obtain gate passes to access their homes; the measures the Government is taking to ensure that an access road is established in the said area; the steps the Government is taking to settle the above squatters; and the action the Government is taking against such companies that harass squatters. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I know hon. (Ms.) Esther Murugi Mathenge is a very able Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands. I trust that within three weeks, I shall get an answer. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. First, the Motion is talking about prudent management of public resources. We did not have a legal framework in this country until the year 2000 governing proper procurement and management of public resources. What existed before then were circulars from the Treasury. Therefore, you can see how reluctant the Government was when it came to prudent management of public resources. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: When we talk about prudence, what comes to my mind is that we are talking about taxpayers’ money. A good tax should have representation and the public should get The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: value for their money. It is a right for the public to demand value for their money. This is because they are saying that for them to get social and economic justice, the Government in power should be able to exercise prudence in the way it uses public resources. That is why I strongly support this Motion by hon. Jamleck Kamau. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The question is: What is our priority? On Vision 2030, and we hope that by 2030 the per capita income for all Kenyans will be such that they will have a decent living in terms of infrastructure, health and education. For us to actualize Vision 2030, we are saying that the management of public resources should be prudent and promote public policies. On travel and related allowances of Government officials, there is an admission in this House that there is a lot of extravagance. It is high time that we address this issue of travel allowance because sometimes the travel ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Ms. Serem has been famous in this country because she has been addressing the wage bill and trying to contain public expenditure in terms of salaries. We are also saying that the travel allowance should be addressed so that there is harmony in order for Kenyans to get value for their money. To that extent, this is a Motion that requires a lot of support from all us. We could save more than what Ms. Serem is trying to save in terms of salaries and so on. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I see the need to go beyond this Motion so that we harmonize all the other offices. If what I read in the newspapers is true about the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), then there is something wrong in this country. We should harmonize the other areas so that we contain the high wage bill. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On public procurement, I look forward because travel and related expenses in terms of allowances is also part of procuring services to State officers. When this review comes to the House, because we are expecting it, it should address the other related issue so that we can contain public expenditure. We should bring sobriety in this area. view
