• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I know that they put in a lot of hours to come up with it. It was also a recess meant for working in our specific committees. Some of our inputs were considered and some were not. Generally, I want to support public participation. I agree with the Members and the Committee that it should be done in between - but not just once - so that it can have meaningful contribution and whatever is said at the public participation can be ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to note that with the handshake, it is expected that revenue collection will get better. I want to delve into a few issues. One, I want to note the reduction of the National Youth Service budget allocation. As a Member of the constituency which hosts NYS, I want to confirm that in the constituent colleges of NYS in my constituency, there are about 16,000 young women and men who are being fed through credit. We only hear about the issue of the Kshs9billion in Nairobi. We must not only reduce the budget or the allocation to NYS, ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the issue of infrastructure and road repairs. The rains which are pounding this country were only seen in the 1960s. There is destruction of infrastructure, whether it is the sewer systems or roads. Every constituency and Member of this House can attest that the destruction of roads is massive. I hope that the sharing of this money to develop infrastructure and repair our roads will be done accordingly and fairly, so that each constituency gets its share of the infrastructure development. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to touch on the issue of health. I note that you have given about Kshs40 billion to the referral hospitals. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know that this House does not speak in futility and in vain. I remember Hon. Jicho Pevu had moved a Motion on getting more referral The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: hospitals. Referral hospital will take a lot of pressure from our small hospitals. I hope counties are taking cue as they develop their CIDPs, to improve village dispensaries and sub-county hospitals so that we take off pressure from Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret. We do not have to go for treatment for malaria and pneumonia to Kenyatta National Hospital and we also do not need to go for anti-retroviral medication and family planning services at Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospitals. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for protecting me from Hon. Ouda. The other issue I have noted in the Budget Estimates is the increased allocation for the last mile electricity connectivity. Most people have been applying for electricity connections to households. I know the Jubilee Government is very keen to ensure that villages are lit and institutions have electricity. That is very commendable. Another issue is on the budget of the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning. I hope the money that has been allocated will be used appropriately to ensure that almost every constituency gets a land registration office. ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika. Pia mimi natoa rambirambi zangu kwa niaba yangu binafsi na kwa niaba ya watu wa Gilgil na kusema pole sana kwa familia na marafiki wa mwenda zake, Mhe. Grace Kipchoim. Nilifanya kazi naye kwenye Bunge la 11 nikiwa Seneti naye akiwa hapa kama waliochaguliwa kwenye Maeneo Bunge. Walikuwa kina mama 16 peke yake. Ule uchungu ambao Mhe. Grace Kipchoim amepitia umekuwa wakati mgumu sana na kama sio bima nzuri na Mungu kumpa rehema, nafikiri haingekuwa rahisi. Kwa sasa, tunasema pole sana kwa familia na Mungu airehemu roho yake. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that every birth in Kenya must be registered by the Department of Civil Registration and documented through a birth certificate; further aware that subsequent registration of citizens and acquisition of documentation such as identity cards and passports, school admissions, registration of exams, and access to opportunities such as employment depends and relies on birth certificates; deeply concerned that the Department of Civil Registration Services has over time experienced backlogs in the issuance of birth certificates as a result of among other factors, inadequate personnel, unwillingness to embrace ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: clerical officers cannot even be able to handle the backlog of over 300,000 constituents and others that are more in Naivasha. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the pain people have suffered... If I illustrate using my constituency, if you have someone living in Elementaita Ward, which could be the farthest from Naivasha or Kongasis Ward, you spend around Kshs2,000 to reach Naivasha. When you go to Naivasha, you do not go home with that birth certificate. It is rounds, rounds and rounds. The Ministry of Education, Science and Telchnology had given a deadline that was not tenable. It was reviewed to ... view
