• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Thank you for this chance. I am not saying you are out of order. Just to inform the House, midway during debate on this Motion an amendment was introduced and some of us only spoke on the amendment. I sought the permission of the Chair to speak on the amendment and then the main Motion because speaking on the amendment did not make me lose my organic jurisdiction to speak to the main Motion. So, I would wish that you guide us on that given that I did not speak on the main ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I had gone through the Report and I thank the chairlady, Hon. (Dr.) Rachael, together with the petitioner who raised this matter, Mr. Harrison Muema. The players involved in the parcels of land in question, that is, Drive-In Primary School and Ruaraka High School had the intention of taking money from the taxpayers. This process was initiated by the National Land Commission (NLC). The NLC acted on the complaints that were provided by two companies, that is, Afrison Import and Export Limited Company and another one. These two companies claimed that there were historical injustices which ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The Report shows very clearly that there was a syndicate in the NLC involving officers in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the National Treasury, which moved very fast to release this money to the said companies. Because of that move the Government, and by extension Kenyans, lost money. If the money, Kshs1.5 billion, was to be used to build classrooms in our schools at the National Government Constituencies Development Fund’s (NG- CDF) proposed rate per class, then we would have built 3,000 classrooms in the country. We know that infrastructure in our schools is not good. I ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for this opportunity. When the Chairman brought the amendment, it looked very sweet, nice and very clear but as we look at it in your definition of “winnings,” you know the betting exercise is such that people do try many times and finally win. If you ask those who have won, they will tell you: “I have been doing this.” So, when we listen to the Leader of the Majority Party, he seems to say that we only take that particular one where you won. But if that is the case then, Chair, I ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment, and with due respect to the Chair and the Committee, I do not support it. It will be subject to serious abuse. An imagination that you looked at valuers as qualified people who went to university, all these are career persons who have similar qualifications. What will happen is that the valuers will be compromised. Let me tell the Committee that we are moving to a level where we want to put more money in the housing project and, therefore, land, to achieve one element of the Big Four Agenda. We want ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to beg that my indulging in this particular issue of amendment should not remove my organic jurisdiction to comment on this issue because when I came to the House, I really wanted to comment on the issue and I have my notes. 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
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Very well. I wanted to raise the issue of our capacity at this particular juncture to make that amendment because this was a very emotive issue. I have followed it very clearly since yesterday and I want to thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because you have also followed it throughout. Given that we do not have the requisite quorum in the House, we should not move too fast to make a determination on this amendment. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Yesterday, a few Members said that the EACC should not be held responsible for its actions. At the same time, other Members gave a contrary opinion and even went to extreme extents of imagining that the EACC was involved. It is, therefore, my prayer that we should finalise this particular amendment when we have the requisite quorum. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I further proceed to say that I do not support this particular amendment because at one point the EACC almost saved the country this money. However, along the way, they released the money and it was paid to some people. From the contributions and the Report which we got from the Chair, we saw a straight collusion beginning from the firm that raised this matter and said that they needed to be compensated. The collusion moved very fast and it passed around the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. view
