• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the mood may be for the Motion to be passed, but I am wondering what the Mover will reply to because the Motion was just moved and seconded. What would the Mover reply to? view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Let me say a few things about this Motion. As much as we want to pass the Motion, we support Hon. Amina Abdalla because many of us worked with her or have worked with her. I have worked with her in this Parliament for about ten years. We know she is competent, able and is very organised in her thinking and even in her work. We know that she is likely to do a good job. But I am worried about the people we give appointments to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). They appear very good at the point ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: confined thinking that the only way to work there and be appreciated by Kenyans is by attacking Members of Parliament. They have been fighting the salaries of Members of Parliament and yet, the wage bill has been increasing. The salaries of Members of Parliament are stagnant. In fact, if you asked me because I served in the 10th, 11th and now the 12th Parliaments, and my colleagues like the Whip of the Majority party can attest to this, the salaries of Members of Parliament have been going down. But the wage bill has been increasing. So, what is happening? It ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I ask Hon. Amina Abdalla that, as she goes to this Commission to inject new ideas which we thought Hon. Dalmas Otieno would do well in there but he is overwhelmed, let her go and help him bring proper thinking to the SRC and avoid the idea of Ms. Mengich thinking that by posturing out there that she is fighting Members of Parliament, she is serving this nation. She is not. The wage Bill is still going up every day. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, I ask Ms. Mengich before she attacks the many allowances she is talking about to ask herself how the allowances came to exist. They exist because of the poor remuneration of our civil servants. That is why they have been creating other allowances to take care of other assignments they are given. If our civil servants can be given a proper consolidated pay, there would be no need for the 146 allowances. Let them rationalise the allowances by consolidating them into a consolidated pay. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: No! Hon. Speaker, where I was, it was purity throughout. It was a re-birth to this country. Kenya was born afresh and you could see the mood in the atmosphere. I think I will have an opportunity another time to talk about this. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know this is a bit un-procedural because we should have waited for the time to debate this Report done by PAC to say all we want. Just as you have mentioned, there are people out there who probably are not up to speed with what PAC of the 12th Parliament has done. They are the ones expressing ignorance by saying that Parliament is late in approving accounts from the Auditor-General. I wanted to take this opportunity, as the Leader of the Minority Party that chairs PAC through Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, to say that we are very proud ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Abdullswamad is asking me about PIC. Let me see his reports and then make comments. Honestly speaking, there was time in this country when we were about six or seven years in backlog of audited accounts. Now we are talking about the 2017/2018 Financial Year which has been audited and not approved by this House. I know before we go on recess, we will try to approve the accounts of 2016/2017. When committees do a good job, it is important for us to say so. This is because when they do not do a good job, we ... view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I second this Motion, I have stood here on several occasions during the processing of budget estimates. I have always emphasised one point on the need to have credible budgets which are based on realism of projections on economic growth, revenues, expenditures and above all public debt. view
