• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose this Motion. Even if I am alone, that is okay. First of all, we moved and approved a calendar. Two, when we come back, those of you who have the calendar for the whole year know that from 3rd June to 28th August, we will have another session. So, in my mind--- view
• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I can read the calendar. I know it is not about medicine; I know it is about the money that the Kenyan taxpayers are paying us. So, we are going to have another date and after we come back, a month later we will have another recess. I oppose the amendment on those grounds. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to ventilate on this matter. I must start by really appreciating that the President actually complied with the requirements of the Constitution as per Articles 132, 24 and 10. However, I think beyond that I really did not find anything much in his Address. This is because the main problems in this country that anybody who comes to the country will look at are about devolution, security and corruption. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: As I said, these are the issues of security, devolution, corruption and poverty. I think those are the main issues. If you look at the President’s Address as concerns devolution, we have all said that there was precipitated devolution. In my mind, I honestly think the President should have actually apologised to the nation for doing it so precipitately that it has brought so many problems. On the issue of integrity amongst the governors, many of us do not appreciate the amount of money that was put in their hands without systems at all; that is where the governors really ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think you will add me some time because of this interruption. Really the people who pushed the President were actually the governors. It is on record everywhere--- As has been said before, it is at the summit where it was actually decided that all functions would be actually devolved. There are records on that; so, all the problems you are seeing, whether in health, law, absorption at the counties, losses of money--- I am thoroughly convinced that if we had put our systems in place gradually as the law requires, we would not have gotten ... view

• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: then the whole morning we have been sitting here was absolutely unnecessary, if we say that anybody can fly a flag. For me, I think the appropriate thing is for the amendment to be withdrawn. view

• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. Being a Member of the Committee, I know how much work has been put in this and once again I appreciate our Chair. I support this Bill because the monies that we have put in certain areas are taking care of the welfare of our people. I start by looking at Vote 08 where we have put more money in the Ministry of Health. I will not tire of saying this: The health sector is the one area that we must always look at. Everything we do in this world is intended ... view
