• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First of all, I want to congratulate the President for increasing the amount that we get for the FPE. This has helped many nomad students to stay in school especially in hardship areas like Turkana, Samburu and West Pokot. For accountability of these funds, we need bursars in schools. Most of the head teachers are busy with other issues of the school. They are administrators, managers and accountants. They do everything in school. Because of that kind of environment, you realise that there is no ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is my prayer that the Government of Kenya sees how to compensate such kinds of costs that are not intended to be incurred during the disbursement of the money. Items in Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu cannot cost the same with items in Kitale, Nairobi or Eldoret. So, it is our prayer that MOEST sees how they can increase this money for the areas that experience high influx of transportation and prices and have special schools. Another thing that I want to mention here is the issue of special schools like schools for the deaf and ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: they stay for three months without getting their salaries yet they have families to feed. Some of them have rented houses. When there is delay in disbursement of funds, these people experience a lot of problems. It is my prayer that the two issues, namely, the increment of the support staff salaries and timely disbursement of funds must be dealt with by MOEST. Finally, there is the issue of registering new schools. Recently, many head teachers in our place went through a hard time. They were told that they cannot get the money for the FPE unless they register the ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to add my voice to what my friends have said. One of the things we need to put into practise in this nation is standardisation of everything. If you go to the Ministry of Lands to look for your title deed, it may take you years before you get it. If this Bill is passed, it will be much easier to get your title number and even your file number. This law will help curb corruption. For you to get your file at the Ministry of Lands, you have to give ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. First of all, I would like to appreciate and acknowledge the knowledge of Hon. Ochieng who came up with such a good idea that will make our country better. The reason for putting in place this kind of institution in this country is to build the capacity of directors. They may have got appointments through political means or connections, but what is very important is building that capacity. That way, they will be in a position to run those institutions in the right ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The second point I want to put across is on discipline. Our CEOs, directors and other leaders must be taught discipline. You cannot be a leader without discipline. What leads to corruption is indiscipline by people whose integrity is questionable. When we have such kind of people in leadership, then the institutions they head will fade automatically. The other reason of having that institution is to bring uniformity. Many parastatals have different ways of doing their things. In terms of the salaries and allowances for the CEOs and directors, some parastatals pay higher than others. That institution will make sure ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Those directors must be taught how to mobilise resources locally and internationally, in order to make those parastatals run. When we talk about good governance, it is about transformational leadership. You transform the institution and take it to the next level. It is shocking when some people are appointed to head institutions and then after some time, they run them down. Such kind of directors must be expelled or disciplined by those institutions. They must not be appointed ever to run any other institution. If we do that, we will surely bring discipline and uniformity in our institutions. When we ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Spika, kwa kunipatia nafasi ya kuchangia mjadala huu kuhusu Hoja hii muhimu. Kwanza, nakushukuru wewe na kikao chako cha maspika kwa jinsi ulivyoonyesha uongozi katika Bunge hili, kama tu ulivyochangia jambo la Mhe. Nyikal. Uko na hekima. Mambo yako ni machache lakini uko na hekima na unajua sheria. Pili, nawashukuru watu wa Eneo Bunge la Turkana ya Kati kwa kunichagua kuwa Mbunge wao. Nimejifunza mambo mengi tangu nilipokuja katika Bunge hili. Nimewakuta wazee wenye hekima na nimejifunza kuwa mvumilivu. Pia, nimejifunza jinsi ya kujadili mambo yanayowaathiri watu wangu. Ningependa pia kuwashukuru Wabunge kwani tumefanya kazi pamoja. Licha ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: imetimika na imetendeka kama vile wananchi walivyokusudia. Mheshimiwa Spika ningependa kukushukuru kwa sababu ni wakati mwingine ambao tungependa kwenda kupumuzika ili tukija mahali hapa tuwe na nguvu ya kuendesha kazi. Mwisho, ningependa kuwaambia Wabunge wenzangu, tutakapokutana katika mikutano ya siasa hapa na pale tudumishe heshima na ule urafiki wetu maana wakati mwingine tukifika mahali pale unapata ya kwamba tunatupiana maneno makali na mambo ambayo si mazuri mbele ya wananchi, tunapoteza heshima ya Bunge hili. Kwa hiyvo, ninaomba tuendelee na ile heshima tuliyokuwa nayo mahali hapa. Hata kama hao ni wa kikundi ama chama kingine tukikutana tujue ya kwamba sisi ni ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to talk about Clause 16 of the Bill on unlawful expenditures. This law provides an equal playground for both the poor and the rich. Some people use their wealth to manipulate voters. With this kind of law, even the poor man without money but with qualities of a good leader now stands a chance to be elected. I support this Bill because it takes care of the poor and the minority who also want to be leaders. view
