• 13 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Without much ado, we need to pass this Motion before the Budget is concluded in this House. We need to ensure that the 2013/2014 Budget includes some funding for the minimum 20 kilometres stipulated in the Motion and start with Kitutu Chache North. I beg to support. view

• 13 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. This is because it promotes the development of infrastructure in our country. I want to tell my colleagues that it is these type of Motions that have developed this country. This type of Motion brought the CDF. This type of Motion brought rise to the Roads Fund. This Motion, if it goes through and we make sure it is implemented, imagine that each year you will be getting a minimum of 20 kilometres of tarmac in your constituency. By the end of five years you will have got 100 kilometres. I ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. I want to thank His Excellency the President for assenting to the Bill that we passed in this House. In my view, there have been a lot of wasteful discussions between us and the Senate, but particularly being conducted by the Senate. I do not know what Senators are scared of. If they are sure of their role, they should go ahead and perform it instead of trying to involve us in some wasteful discussions. I want to thank the Committee for ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Committee was working in cahoots with the people who call us “Mpigs”. I hope those people will exonerate the names of the Committee Members from that group. I am also concerned that we did not allocate adequate resources to the key sectors of our country. One such sector is the Teachers Service Commission. We know that there is a deficit of 80,000 teachers in our schools. We should have pumped more money into the education sector to bring the child to teacher ratio to an acceptable level. We also ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Each one of us has talked about jobs for our youth, but this Budget has not addressed that issue adequately. How do you create jobs? I hope the Budget and Appropriations Committee and other Committees will acquaint themselves with countries, for example, Hong Kong that have created 100 per cent jobs. That is a small country of 7.5 million people but it has 100 per cent employment. Take an example of Singapore, which is a small country of 1.5 million people. It has 100 per cent employment. Malaysia, which has a population of 23 million, which is half of our ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that Malaysia, which has a population of 23 million people and very few tourist resources, receive 26 million tourists a year. It has created 2.5 million jobs in that sector alone. So, if we were to concentrate resources in those areas; if we were to concentrate resources in our infrastructure, we will not go far. Unless, we handle the issue of our railways and airports to become a transport hub in East Africa, we will not develop. For example, we need to create a commercial airport in Kisii County as it has ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: could save some money so that we can channel them to those critical areas of our operations. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
