• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: question of free registration of Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and Secondary Education--- view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to express myself on these particular amendments. I wish to state at the outset that all of us support devolution. If devolution was to be implemented correctly and seriously, with the intended purpose in mind, this country would be much ahead of other countries. However, devolution has been abused in this country. The county governments have been turned into kingdoms, where people rule the way they want. The monies that we have appropriated to the counties have been turned into monies that people would want to use at their own whims. ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The Senate is becoming an idle House. Sometimes we collide on matters which are clearly stated in the Constitution. In Article 95(4)(a), the Constitution clearly states the functions of the National Assembly as follows:- “95(4) The National Assembly- (a) determines the allocation of national revenue between the levels of governments as provided in Part (4) of Chapter Twelve” Hon. Speaker, that means between the national Government and county governments. That is why we are looking at the Division of Revenue Bill. The role of Senate, on the other hand, is stated in Article 96(3) as follows:- 96 (3) “The Senate ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Only 10 per cent goes to development. In my county, for example, which is usually given not less than Kshs4.8 billion, if you were to make a simple calculation of 10 per cent of that money times the four years that we are going to have these counties, you will realise that it will spend over Kshs20 billion on recurrent expenditure and only Kshs2 billion on development. If you calculate the Kshs20 billion times 47 counties, that is the biggest scandal that will have ever happened in this country. Even the Goldenberg scandal was only Kshs23 billion. That would only ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I sit in the Public Investments Committee (PIC). With a lot of respect to my friend who is my colleague in the Committee, I would have wished that he substantiates his claims that some of the people who looted--- view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I would have wished the hon. Member to substantiate because the rules which were spelt out by the Speaker last week were that whenever you make allegations against any Member of this House, you must be in a position to substantiate. The fact that somebody mentioned that some of the Members who have looted or who looted Telkom sit in this House, I would wish that the Member substantiates. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. Like I said during the point of order, I sit in this Committee. I am a Member of the Committee that looked at and perused these facts which we are discussing today. Let me say that I have no interest. I have never worked before in this particular company which was privatised. Therefore, when we claimed that most of the Members who robbed this particular company hide in this House, I was worried. Otherwise, I wish to say that I support the Committee. I support the Chairman and I am happy with the way the ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we also looked at how it was possible that most of those actions were undertaken before consultations were done. Why was the Attorney-General not consulted? Why was the Auditor-General not consulted? Why were all these people who are supposed to advise the Government on the process of privatisation not involved in the privatisation of this particular company? We realized a lot of underhand dealings and under-cutting dealings took place and that is why, in our recommendation, we thought it would be prudent for this country to investigate this matter because billions of shillings were lost. We ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to state, at the outset, that for a long time we have been having companies, parastatals and bodies owned by the Government. We also have rules, regulations and laws that govern these particular bodies on management, the use of public funds and procedures to be followed when dealing with public funds. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country started off by creating several parastatals and authorities which were dealing with matters affecting farmers. We have had several parastatals which were meant to save farmers. We had the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) which was ... view
