• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Two, when she appeared before our Committee, she demonstrated the character of being an independent person who cannot be manipulated by the national Treasury. Three, she has successfully and efficiently served this country over the years. Four, I know that she can deliver the services she is being appointed to offer, especially issues to do with pending bills, indebtedness and use of resources. It is so that the counties and the national Government do not misuse resources of this country. The country should not get to debt levels that might affect our people and even future generations. She will have ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On appoint of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Hon. Member in order to discuss a community in this House? If so, can he bring a list of members of all communities in Kenya who hold offices? view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning Committee which vetted this Member. She qualified in all required aspects by law for this position. Besides, she demonstrated to us that she can represent the PSC adequately where our former MPs have failed. We looked at the work done by Hon. Aringo. He is the person who initiated the PSC establishment. He also initiated the Budget Office in Parliament. But when he went there, he was overwhelmed by those other Commissioners. To that extent, he hardly represented us. Hon. Amina Abdalla ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: We enacted a law that allowed the Commissioners to become permanent and fulltime for the five years instead of temporary or casual. We have not seen any difference in the performance of that Commission. I strongly believe that by nominating Hon. Amina, she will mobilise the Commissioners to deliver better services to Kenyans and particularly this House. Also, she will work hard to improve the relationship between Parliament and SRC. We need to engage each other instead of rushing to court. This will avoid us spending public resources to accuse each other because it costs the people of Kenya a ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: As the Chairman said, they should adhere to the laws of Kenya on budgetary allocations. Early last year, SRC used over Kshs.95 million to purchase vehicles. That money was not allocated for in the Budget. So, they acted outside the law. They have gone ahead to organise a conference without a budgetary allocation. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, Hon. Limo, as well as Parliament, should scrutinise the performance of the Commissioners with regards to adherence to the law. You cannot procure anything that is not covered in a budget. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I am sure Hon. Amina will educate them on this. They need further training and induction so that they can adhere to the law. If they fail to do so, Parliament should take it up and sanction them. We are the oversight agency and so, we should sanction them when they go against the law. This is because in this country, we cannot have an institution that does not adhere to the laws. We will end up being a lawless country. I urge my colleagues to approve the nomination of Hon. Amina and I am sure she will deliver what ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: 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
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I am a very sad person because my people have died out of this calamity. I always call myself a Pokot because I admire the character of the Pokot people. This incident raises various questions. One, is this country prepared for this kind of incident? Are we trying to handle our climate? Two, when these kinds of situations happen, do we need to politicise it? Where I come from, there is a saying that “ tang’i mwangane mwanjanere matati ”: You can hate each ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, those bridges which have been blown off, the national Government should undertake to construct them immediately. The people who need relief food should be assisted immediately. If the national and the county governments cannot reach the areas, let them give the food and the other assistance to the Red Cross, which has gone there. view
