• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have alluded to the Standing Orders. The last amendments to the Standing Orders that introduced Question Time required that answers would be given by Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) in committee sittings. The Hon. Member is concerned that he does not hear answers on the Floor. I thought that was his concern and you have explained it. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon Deputy Speaker, for the sake of the record, I want to say that the issue of the microphones not working in some of the desks should be addressed. It has been going on for the last two weeks now. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I might be too tall, but I am now used to it. I am okay with that. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware of the increased number of incidents of armed robberies in Kisumu West Constituency reported to Maseno Police Station between 1st November 2018 and 19th November 2018? (b) What action has the police taken to apprehend and prosecute all suspects in these robbery incidences? (c) How effective is the coordination between the police and the public on the ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Initiative and are the police keeping the identities of informers confidential? view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I hope this one works. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to join the House in supporting this Motion. I want to commend the Committee led by my friend, Hon. Kathuri and his team for the very well done report. For once, the team was able to go to the relevant regions of this country and talk to fund managers, chairmen and members of committees and hear their views. There are three points that I wish to address to the committee. One has been raised before and it is the issue of acting officers. Right from the CEO of the ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Right now in Kisumu West, my fund manager is acting for Kisumu East. That takes a lot of time and he is not able to concentrate on either East or West Kisumu. So, where officers have to act, the period should be reduced to a bare minimum so that substantive officers are appointed. Two, is the role of MPs in activities of the Fund. I wish to address particularly the media. The role of MPs is defined as oversight. The persons who run the NG-CDF activities are the committees, but when something goes wrong, the media jumps at MPs to ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The consultations are too high between Hon. Betty and the rest… view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was coming to the third point which is the funds allocated for oversight activities. I have always thought that the amount that has been allocated for oversight within the Act was a mistake. The Act says that it is 0.1 per cent of the amount allocated for Monitoring and 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
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Evaluation (M&E). In most constituencies, that comes to about Kshs 9,000. That cannot be the funding of oversight, if you are serious. I thought this was a mistake in publishing the Act. I want to advise the Committee that the cost of oversight should not be 0.1 per cent. That is hardly Kshs 9,000. I have had to consult with Maoka Maore, the Chair of the Committee and he told me that the Committees are working out on a raft of amendments which they will table in the House. If this is not done, then I will have to do ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Governor of Central Bank may have been keen to fight money laundering, but he has hurt 90 per cent of Kenyans who are innocent against the 10 per cent who are guilty. This House passed two Acts, namely, the Financial Reporting Centre Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act. These are provisions that could contain suspicious transactions. The Governor is now intimidating bank staff. If you go to the bank now, the staff do not want to deal with you because they may be arrested. We did not flag this out. If the Governor knew what he ... view
