• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with you that the Chairs of Committees become more active during the Budget Estimates with demands for money. You ask them where we will get more money to give them because we are Members of Parliament just like them. Instead of coming during BPS, they run away. Instead of engaging the National Treasury during that time, they run away. Then during the Budget Estimates when the figures have come out, they say: “We need irrigation here. We need money here. We have come to beg the Committee to give us Kshs2 billion more.” That is the ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, Committees, could you kindly monitor the implementation of projects so that we do not just budget and those budgets are not implemented? Why should we put money on budget lines which are never actualised? view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I second. Thank you for your generosity. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am really trying to restrain myself. The Chair called me that there was a meeting to make this change, but this reasoning of Section 39 does not arise. We are dealing with Budget Estimates. We are dealing with the BPS. I think Members need to understand what the Chair wants to do. Let me explain it in simple terms. One, the Judiciary budget in the ending financial year is Kshs18 billion, which they have been complaining about. In the BPS, the Treasury was giving them only Kshs17 billion, reducing the current budget by Kshs1 billion. The Committee, ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. I usually, and sometimes it is not tidy for me to raise a point of order on the Leader of the Majority Party, but let us be factual. The money for public participation, and the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee… Let us be transparent on some of these things, so that we are not scandalised. It does not make sense. This is what brought down the Budget and Appropriations Committee the other time. Last year, we did 24 counties. My county was not one of them yet I am a Member of the ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: (Suba South, ODM) view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I start, I know the provisions of Standing Order No.90 require that a Member needs to disclose interests if he has any. Mary Kimonye taught me marketing at the University of Nairobi but that would not have resulted in conflict of interest except that I want to add that during times of long holidays, Kimonye used to hire me to work in her consultancy firm. She did that on three occasions. Therefore, it would have been dishonest if I did not mention that. I support her nomination and ask the House to approve Mary Kimonye ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Having said that and recognising that she is going to handle the Department of Public Service, I want to tell Mary Kimonye, when she gets to this Department, that employment in terms of regional and ethnic balance in this country is a problem. She must deal with it. She cannot remove those who are already in their positions but when vacancies arise, let her use those vacancies to harmonise and bring this country together. We are aware and reports always keep coming of inequality and imbalance in public service. People who are qualified to discharge duties in the public service ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: My last comment is going directly to an issue that has just happened. There is this report and I have no reason to doubt it that we have allowed a Chinese airline to get their plane to this country. At this time of coronavirus, we still have the audacity and the carelessness that is associated with the public service to allow the Chinese airline to land in this country and then we say that they should self-quarantine. The way we know this country, who is going to self- quarantine? Who is going to follow through to ensure that these people ... view
