• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: We do not want to dilute the Executive powers of Kenya. We are all eying that position and when we allow everybody to just flay that flag, it will be dilute. We want to maintain the integrity and dignity of the Executive power. I want to thank the Members of this House for being very intelligent and focused. I want to pass this message to Cabinet Secretaries. We have not reduced their salaries. We have not done anything, but we have created order. view

• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He has clearly mentioned that they have actually consulted bishops of different churches. I want to inform him that we are also “bishops” of our constituencies, because we consult our constituents. One thing I want to be clear to Kenyans is that there are citizens who do not know how to write. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is exactly what I am doing. We have elders in the church, whose role is to perform the function of ensuring that if there is a problem in a marriage, they sit down, square the problem and report to the bishop. view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. I am a witness of how important youth polytechnics can be. During the 1980s, there was Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation in Turkana and it built one of the polytechnics that trained many youths who went to get jobs as carpenters and masons. When we improve our youth polytechnics, we are creating jobs in the villages. At the same time, we are making the youth self-reliant.

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: standards of a county referral hospital. I do not know if that money can be increased, so that we can have some Level 5 Hospitals in every constituency in Turkana County. We have only one and now that we have six constituencies in Turkana County, I do not know whether this Kshs5 million will be enough for all of us. On the issue of improving delivery of service in those Level 5 Hospitals, we want to encourage the Government to come up with a way to motivate our doctors. We have seen a trend in counties where many doctors have ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. I am a witness of youth polytechnics in my county. During the 80s, there was Norwegian Agency for Development Co-operation (NORAD) in Turkana and it built one of the polytechnics that trained many youths who went to get jobs as carpenters and masonry. When we improve our youth polytechnics, we are creating jobs in the villages. At the same time, we are making the youth self-reliant. This issue of depending on handouts has made our youth corrupt and not hardworking to get their own income. The electronic version ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With youth polytechnics, the youths will become busy. When they are idle without anything to do, they become criminals in the villages. I support the funds that have been allocated for the polytechnics. Polytechnics encourage innovation and discovery. That is where the skills are being gained. In many countries like China, that is where discoveries and innovations are done. With regard to the Level 5 hospitals, our county had only one. Now that it has taken the standards of a county referral hospital. I do not know if that money can be increased, so that we can have some level ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, thank you hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill with amendments. If we look at Article 10(2)(c) of the Constitution, national values and principles of governance include good governance, integrity, transparency and accountability. The Board is very key because it ensures transparency and accountability in our counties. Whatever is done by the county government, we need to check.
