• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. As the Vice-Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), I expected the Chairman to give me the opportunity to second but, nonetheless, I thank Hon. Eseli for elaborating on the issues that we went through well, when we were interrogating the witnesses that appeared before us. This Report is in public domain and, somehow, it has made some of us to make more enemies than friends. For your information, I think I was defeated in the just ended nominations because of this Report. Somewhere, I must ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: and that money went to people’s pockets, I think this country is going to the dogs. When I saw the five-point vision programme for the NYS, it was well intended. The vision had five issues that they wanted to do. There was the paramilitary training and service regimentation, national service youth and socialisation, social transformation and vocational training, enterprise and youth economy and bankable institutional architecture. So, that five-point vision was well intended. If implemented, I think we could have turned around this country. However, taking the money to other purposes that were never intended is what caused what we ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: No. I do not want to cross over. I am saying that we need to have people with good intentions that will help turn around the economy of this country. We have a Budget of over Kshs2.3 trillion. What does it translate to? Our people are languishing in poverty and the youth are unemployed. We are suffering. Food prices are high. The whole country is suffering and yet, we have a Budget of Kshs2.3 trillion. Those who are in leadership must do something. When you look at the Report, you will realise that there was total disregard of procurement procedures, ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: There was also the issue of over-payments. A firm like The Consulting House was over- paid a whooping Kshs12.5 million. Of course later on, when he appeared before us, he accepted and said he was going to refund. I believe he has paid the refund. This was a well-intended or a well programmed issue. They were using one invoice twice to make payments. I do not know who took their Kshs12.5 million, the one they could have been paid. It was pocketed by a few individuals. There was outright theft at NYS. Something has to be done in this country. ... view
