• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I am seeking your guidance as to whether we are in order, as a House, to receive this Committee’s Report while we know that PIC may come up with contrary proposals to those that are in the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health. When that Report will be out there, it will be a Report of this House. I do not see why we are in a hurry to push this Report of the Departmental Committee on Health. It is your discretion to tell us whether we can wait for the PIC Report so that we know the truth ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This opportunity is highly appreciated. I stand to put in my word to this Motion as amended and as further amended. The essence of the investigation that was carried out can be demonstrated by the fact that at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we were told that Kenya was borrowing Kshs4 billion every day. Out of the money that we borrowed, there are credible reports that tell us that Kshs43 billion was pocketed by people who have come to be known as the COVID-19 heist billionaires. In fact, what was expected of the ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: It is saddening. It is pathetic. It is immoral that the protection of our frontline workers - being the medical caregivers - is an afterthought. The protection of doctors cannot be an afterthought. I was having a conversation with the very esteemed Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal and he reminded me that one doctor in this country serves over 16,000 patients. When we lose a doctor, we are not only talking of the name of one individual, maybe a Dr. Were, passing on. We are talking about a Kenyan who is offering a service to 16,000 people out there. Over and above ... view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: to know if we are throwing the KEMSA board and the PS under the bus. Who are these other people who ought to take political responsibility for the mess that has happened in the health sector? We are very keen to also know who the owners of the companies that are being hidden in this COVID-19 heist are. view
• 26 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided. Some of these issues that I am talking about are in the public domain. The knowledge of the facts that happened in the KEMSA heist are out in the public. They are not a preserve of a few Members or of the Committee. I will continue. We were expecting to see this veil being lifted so that we can know some of the people who had companies that were a few days old and who did not show up in the Committee investigation. When the Committee went to do their own investigation, they ... view

• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2) (c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the status of the public debt management. Hon. Speaker, Section 33 of the Public Finance Management Act of 2012 stipulates that the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury submits to Parliament a statement setting out the debt management strategy of the national Government over the medium term with respect to its actual liability and potential liability, in respect of loans and guarantees and its plans for dealing with those liabilities. Further, that Section ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the recent years, the level of public borrowing by the Government of Kenya has escalated and is now already unsustainable. It is projected that Kenya will reach the Ksh9 trillion public debt ceiling within the next two years, due to the anticipated revenue shortfall in the current fiscal year and the uncontrolled expenditure. It is on this account that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following: (i) What is the actual status of all the public debt contracts between the Government of the Republic of ... view
