• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I will bother because I am in support. It is important that when you are passing these laws in this House you state exactly why. We would rather take a year to pass such an important Bill instead of just rushing in saying “Ayes” and “Nays”. Here, we are saying, “obtaining confidential references from persons with whom the tenderer has had prior engagement”. It is important. Why? We have had contractors who have lied in paper. They have very good presentations in paper work showing where they have done work in your constituency and in the ... view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: No. It is true that we need to amend it to say “tenderers”. That is the procurement language. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment is long overdue. It is a report of an evaluation of the same committee. Such an amendment will be showing the difference. We are talking about results prepared by the evaluation committee, whose recommendations should be forwarded to the accounting officer. The previous amendment talks about the same evaluation committee forwarding the report to itself. This is an overdue amendment. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I looked at the President and I felt that he was stressed. The President was stressed in fighting corruption. He got the Report from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and I am sure that is not the Report he should have presented in this House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can say it was a premature Report. Including the Members of this Parliament, the PAC and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock and Cooperatives, this House can join me to say that this list was just forced on the President because of urgency. It was presented by the ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On corruption, we have members from our constituencies in the list. When you look at hon. Charity Ngilu, she has been able to change this country. She has been able to change the registry of the Lands Department. The President is talking about development. Cabinet Secretaries who have pushed him to the level he is talking about are being sacked or told to step aside. When are we going to get better performers if the people who are performing are being chased away? Talk of Principal Secretary, Nduva Muli. If it was not for such a Principal in the Ministry ... view
