• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I apologize for the first attempt. I will just take two or three minutes, because the Members have spoken to what I wanted to say. One is about the emergency funds which we have allocated to the counties. There are some counties where emergency comes frequently and sometimes the county governments do not respond, unless we go back to the CDF Kitty to respond to those emergencies. On the issue of Equalisation Fund, we want to thank the Committee because some of the counties are behind in development and this Fund makes some of ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: resources in our counties. Let us not reduce the allocation to counties. Let us give them enough money. We must make sure that those resources which we give to counties are used well and according to the needs of the people. Finally, we have some facilities that CDF has already established like dispensaries in different parts of the counties; we are appealing and requesting the county governments to furnish those dispensaries because they are closer to the people. Like in Turkana County, we do not have any referral hospital that is equipped. Health function is devolved, so we want to ... view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support the Motion as amended. By amending the Motion, we are respecting the Constitution of Kenya that was voted for by Kenyans. By the county governments and the National Government agreeing on specific functions to be transferred to the national level is one way of respecting the Constitution that Kenyans voted for.

• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in doing so, the Governors and the National Government will assess the capacity of each county and find out whether it is able to run all the functions of devolved health units. Hon. Speaker, as you are aware, some counties have no capacity to do so. They are not equal in terms of personnel and infrastructure. So, when the National Government and the county governments sit together and discuss, that will help them to come up with the functions to be given to the National Government and those to be given to the county governments. Hon. Speaker, secondly, ... view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am standing on Standing Order No.107 concerning one of our hon. members who misled this House, hon. Linturi. He has not apologized to us after we signed his petition. May he apologise to us; he is in the House. view
• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am saying that according to Standing Order No.107(1), when an hon. Member goes against the order of the House, we must impeach him or he must apologise to the House. You will remember that we signed the petition that hon. Linturi brought to us and he has not apologised. view

• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not think it is good for us to speak about family businesses in the Presidential Speech. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the Member is misleading this House; he knows very well that the side on which he is sitting now is the one that was saying that the President was not for devolution and was not following the Constitution. In fact, they pushed the President to give all the functions to the county governments. Now they are again complaining that the President disobeyed the law. Is he in order? view
