• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I noted a few major areas in this Report. There are very many areas which need serious scrutiny. There are a few areas I noted and it is very important for us to discuss them and find a way of dealing with them. One major issue is poor coordination by the National Treasury. The National Treasury must be serious on matters of accounting. When coordination is poor, Government expenditures cannot be accounted for properly. This is a lacuna. It is an area where most corrupt people will find an opportunity to steal. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Another area I noted regards the Accounting Officers. Most of them are totally incompetent. The mode of their employment is not serious because in some instances people who are appointed Accounting Officers are not qualified for the job. In other instances, people are qualified for the job but they are incompetent or they have integrity issues. Many people who deal with accounting matters in the national Government and county governments use the opportunity to make money for themselves. Most of the areas these Accounting Officers are meant to scrutinize are the ones where billions have been spent. Kenyans are not ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Another issue which my colleague raised is the issue of land. There is a lot of unaudited public land which is still not properly mapped. This is especially hospital, primary and secondary school land. Very many people have encroached on these parcels of land because they are not properly taken care of. This area needs to be accounted for so that it is secured from land grabbers. We know land in this country has been exaggerated to the level that it is becoming gold in Nairobi and most of the towns. The prices are very high and land grabbers cannot ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know the name of my constituency is completely challenging for many people. It is Emurua Dikirr. view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Before I make my contribution to the Report by our Committee, I want to congratulate our brothers and sisters who are in Rio, especially at this very minute when Kipruto has managed to get our country a gold medal. Unfortunately, we came in third through our great steeple- chaser, Mr. Kemboi. I also want to congratulate many other Kenyans who are in Olympics despite the challenges they are facing. I thank them for making us proud. People have been complaining that there are over 30 former Kenyans who are participating in the Olympics for other countries, especially Chebet, who denied ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: These are people who are supposed to have known that this money is meant to elevate their fellow youths. Instead, people divert the money for their own use. We have a culture in this country where people look for ways to make quick money. This culture, which must be stopped, was first coined by a group which used to call themselves “Youth for KANU 92”. That was the beginning of thuggery and thievery. Although some of the people who coined that are old now, some of them are holding high offices in this country. That is the time when people ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: jailing of some of these crooks who stole from our country, we must also state clearly that these are the people who created the culture of using the youth to steal from the Government. I do not know how this culture will come to an end, but I believe one day it will. It is us as Members of this House, Members of watchdog Committees like PIC and the nation who should stop this culture. We are hoping that when this matter is forwarded to the EACC, they will act on it, so that we can prevent such unfortunate incidences ... view
