• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: I hear my colleague, Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi, saying that we are that far. Let me just give him the comfort that we are indeed not that far. This is the second-last Report of the Committee that we are moving this afternoon. Hopefully, we shall be tabling a final Report before we adjourn next week. That report is going to be the last that has been brought to the House by the Auditor- General, in which case it means this Committee has caught up with the Auditor-General in examining his reports that are before the House, the import of which is ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: As you know, counties depend on this revenue sharing to support most of their budgetary obligations. Most of our counties do not have well-streamlined revenue streams to support or finance their budgets. They rely almost entirely on the exchequer releases as a result of the revenue sharing that this House is going to approve, if at all it agrees with this Report. Just as we have done in previous reports, the Committee has looked at the workings and operations of various state departments, independent offices, commissions and agencies. It has made several observations on the use or misuse of public ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: lost. We never know as a country how much has exactly been lost but it is a whopping amount of money running into hundreds of billions of shillings, especially with regard to the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) Project. The land acquired for purposes of the SGR has brought about compensations, some of which is fictitious, inflated and erroneous and so on. In a number of cases, there was no valuation. They were just handing out cash. The Committee was treated to a circus valuation reports were unsigned. As a lawyer, you know that such a report cannot pass. In reality, ... view

• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Ugunja, ODM): This is for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. There is still 2019/2020 which we hope to table before we adjourn. We will not be able to table the one for 2020/2021 because they are yet to fully examinate. view

• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. Let me join my colleagues in passing my condolences and those of the people of Ugunja to the family and friends of the late third President Mwai Kibaki and, indeed, to the people of Kenya. The more I hear my colleagues speak with passion, the more I am reminded of the celebrated speech by Mark Antony in Julius Caesar. Those of us who are fans of Shakespeare will tell you that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Let me say two things. The late Hon. President Mwai Kibaki was a ... view
