• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I hope that the people who will look at the petition will not only seriously look at the Kiboroa squatters but will also address the squatter problem that touches on the ADC farms. If these farms are still worth what they were meant to be, then the squatters must be given alternative settlements. If these farms no longer serve their purpose because there are very many people who have grabbed the land a parcel of that land should be hived off to settle the squatters. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. All of us would not want to say so much on this Bill because it is a Bill we have been waiting for. I wish to support this Bill. We as Members of this House are given the responsibility of amending the Constitution and making any law. Today this House has been given the mandate by the courts to relook at the CDF Act and make sure that we come up with another Act to allow the CDF to continue. The reason why the courts decided not to abolish CDF but gave ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Article 43 of the Constitution says that every Kenyan, wherever he or she is, should have the highest standards of economic and social rights. The CDF is the only framework that allows citizens of this country to have equal access to resources. That is why I voice my support for this Bill. There is serious corruption in this country. Among the corrupt institutions in this country, the CDF institution is the least corrupt. We have been chasing governors up and down. I have never thought of sleeping until I see my governor out of office, because of the corruption in ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: hospitals. Teachers also went on strike and schools were closed. Suppose those schools were hospitals, how many people would have died? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this Bill majorly because we do not want to burn the counties or the national Government. The money that goes to the constituencies is for cushioning these people. Supposing this money was not there, what would have happened? We would have been waiting in vain. My county government has not managed to build even a single toilet in my constituency. Suppose this money was not there, what would have happened? There ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to reluctantly support this amendment. I support the amendment to Clause 4. It is good since it talks about having offices in counties. We have very many other offices in the counties such as the County Commissioners’ and that one does not affect the functioning of the national Government. Clause 8 is what I vehemently refuse to support because this is a national Government function. The National Drought Management Authority is a function of the national Government. It is like any other parastatal or authority such as the Kenya Urban Roads ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: create their own county drought management authority, allocate their money and put their people there. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with my brother that disaster management is both a function of the national and county governments. That does not mean that we amalgamate. In our CDF, we have emergency allocations. Does it mean that we mix the emergency allocations for the CDF with those for the county government? That does not mean that we amalgamate all the functions. We need to have a situation where, although the national Government must bear responsibility on matters of emergencies and disaster management, the county governments will have to manage their own disaster management programmes in the counties. ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second this Report. The amendments are very good for this House and the country. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to comment briefly on this particular issue. It is very important that we recognise the fact that there is freedom of speech--- view
