• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I need protection. There is a lot of consultation. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there was no single reduction or allocation that we did without negotiation. They were all negotiated and the chairs of the various committees gave us the reasons they thought were necessary to reallocate. Even where we made proposals as a committee, it was very well discussed with the departmental committee chairs and agreed upon. The Committee also looked at the focus of the Budget, the entire allocation in view of Kenya and the way Kenyans will look at it. We looked at the local level needs and the priorities of the people especially when we did public ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: on the sector. Some sectors are putting a lot more money in development expenditure than in recurrent expenditure. The other issue that is important to note is the huge reallocations that we did in respect of money that could be better used in other areas other than being misused. We even got money from the National Treasury. Around Kshs4.87 billion is reallocated which is something that has never happened in this country. We negotiated with the National Treasury on this particular issue. Therefore, the Budget and Appropriations Committee brought a good report. The other issue that we also looked at ... view

• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: factors: One, because it came before the end of the first year in Parliament, following the last general elections. If it came later than now, it would not have had the same impact it has right now. The Speech came after the historic handshake, and hon. Members have already had their own private handshakes. The communities in Kenya have already shaken hands. People have already taken time to discuss and look at the implications of the handshake. It, therefore, came at the right time. The handshake has permeated the countryside and people are happy. This one has effects of the ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I came from Tigania West this morning and I ran away because the situation is impossible for me to handle because the effects of the rains are too much. There are floods all over, people have lost property, houses and livestock. They have been displaced. There is destruction of infrastructure and bridges have been washed away. I speak from a region that is not very famous with the Red Cross. Most of the time, the Red Cross does not respond to some of these areas. They ... view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Some of them have been ring-fenced by the rains. They do not know how to swim. They do not have canoes. They have never lived in such conditions and so they do not know what to do. Another issue which is devastating is the fact that the effects will last longer because crops have been destroyed by the extended rains.

As we consider how much to give the relevant Ministry, we should ... view
