• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. With due respect to the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I do not intend in any way to scuttle this very important process. Would I not be in order to… view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Having correctly moved that the Motion is being moved with an amendment to the Schedule, which he would be tabling, would it not be in order that that Schedule is tabled? If possible, he should also highlight the changes because last Friday, when we suspended this debate, it was because we were given the Schedule as we had it originally. We looked at it over the weekend, including the notes that we got from the Table Office, and we were armed with those documents. Could he then bring those changes, table and highlight them, so that we can be in ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Budget, and also make my comments. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee led by Hon. Ichung’wah. As it has just been indicated by the previous speaker, he has, indeed, done a good job and I think he will remain as one of the most respected chairpersons of that particular Committee in the House. I want to thank the Committee because it has highlighted most of the important things, including trying to change the mindset of the National Treasury from creating a normal budget to ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: increased the gap within which we can borrow. We changed it to Kshs9 trillion. Today, I saw the Leader of Minority speak emotionally. I love him though he is not in the House. He spoke as a person who wants to actually oversee the Government. Therefore, we as a House must stand and tell the Executive to stop borrowing. We must explain exactly how it is dangerous. Lastly, I want to assert that the budget for education should not be reduced. Most of that budget is actually going to salaries and other Recurrent Expenditure. Moreover, we should not look at ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. There was a Motion before this House specifically on the issue of Nyumba Kumi people and village elders. From the answer that has been given, the truth is that some of the points stated are not correct. These village elders were not given any facilities. We come from places where they live. They do not have sanitizers and PPEs. However, for the sake of the House, they are part and parcel of frontline officers when it comes to stopping gatherings like funerals in the villages and any other happening of that nature. So, ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: It is number 304. view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Very well. Thank you, Hon. Chairman for recognising me and giving me this opportunity. One, let me thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the House for this contribution and actually ring-fencing the money for a particular cause. That is so that it is very accountable. This is very good because, for quite some time, people have been asking what our contribution is. Our contribution is now great and it can be seen. I wanted to say that the split is good. I also thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for having done that through their Chair. But then, we ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I am finishing so that they can also benefit from this. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. First of all, on the issue of masks, which has been spoken on by several Members, it is important that we show a good example without too much arguments. One time, there was an old American President. He thought that he should show Americans how young he was and he went for his inaugural address with a shirt and he passed on. You can research that. So on this issue, let us just be respectful. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Two, on the question that was answered by the Chairperson on masks, telling Kenyans to buy particular quality masks and not to buy the ones on the streets, out there, people are creating and executing laws without the proper approval of Parliament or any other institution that should do so. Police are arresting people for not having masks. Therefore, we cannot be talking about a particular type of mask when people are being arrested, yet the best they can do is to get rugs to cover their mouths and noses for them to survive. view
