• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to second the Motion that has been ably moved by the Leader of the Majority Party, who is also senior in the profession. He has done a lot of justice to the Motion. We are just adding one more week to the recess period that we were supposed to have up-to 21st July 2020 to 28th July 2020. As the HBC, we agreed to do this for some good reasons. First, this is the first year, as the Leader of Majority has said, that we have managed to deal with both ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: showing diligence and for being committed to the work that the people of Kenya have mandated us to do. Finally, allow me to talk about the NG-CDF. As the leadership of this House, we will continue to put pressure on the National Treasury, so that these amounts are released in good time. The National Treasury is very slow in releasing money for the NG-CDF, yet they are very quick at releasing monies under Article 223 of the Constitution, including monies for projects that are not emergency cases. This is disheartening because if you look at the framework of the NG-CDF, ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Petition. I want to thank the Member for Lang’ata for bringing this Petition to the House. We do not agree on many things, but on this, we are together. I hope the Executive is listening and watching what we are discussing this afternoon. And I hope the President of the Republic of Kenya is watching. Mistakes could have been made. And these mistakes could have been made probably in 1998 or earlier, in terms of excising this forest and allowing human habitation. But once a Government has ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: people that he would release animals to kill them. What kind of a CS is that? In fact, if there is any CS who needs censure, it is this one, not the one whose name we saw here the other day. This is the CS that needs to be censured. Hon. Speaker, thank you. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I second this Motion, I want to repeat that our concerns were expressed last week. We talked about issues that we felt that the Treasury is not doing right. However, the reason we decided to approve this Supplementary Budget and even agree to the Supplementary Appropriation Bill for the same is that we do not want our financial statements at the end of the financial year to have excess votes in our books. Definitely, if you have spent money and Parliament has not approved it, the net effect of that is that when the ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On the justification to use Ksh500 million in our KMTCs, the Principal Secretary (PS) explained that very well. He said that many of our healthy facilities which are supposed to be used to take care of sick persons in this country are already taken up by COVID-19 patients. Of all those patients, 80 per cent are asymptomatic, that is, do not show signs of sickness. So, they just sleep in our beds and there is no serious medical attention on them. We felt that it is a right strategy to get these asymptomatic patients hosted in KMTCs because if you ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I did not get you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I think Supplementary Budget II was passed around April. So, we are actually on Supplementary Budget III which is historical in this country. Of course, we know Covid-19 is being used as an excuse everywhere. I hope this will not be an excuse going forward. I second the Motion. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is being proactive. As a House, we have developed a procedure where when we are breaking for recess, especially where the recess is going to take about three weeks like the one we have ahead of us, that for smooth functioning of this Parliament, we allow, in the event that there will be communication from the President - and this is just purely anticipatory… We are just anticipating and it has nothing to do with any possible changes in the Government. I know people will start speculating that we are speculating changes in the Government. ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I second this Motion, I want to state that in the history of this country, this is the first time we are confronted with approval of the Third Supplementary Budget. It has never happened. view
