• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think you did not get me right. When I started, I said there is nothing wrong with having interest. In my view, representation is not holding brief. The way I understand it, I represent Kenyans and not just Suba South because I am a Member of the National Assembly. I think the Leader of the Majority Party needs to withdraw, unless he has evidence because this idea of just making general statements, scandalises the entire Parliament. If he has evidence of people who have come here to represent some specific interest he should name them. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: I second the Procedural Motion, Hon. Speaker. view
• 9 May 2019 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
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the MP for Embakasi South for winning back his seat. Even though he defeated a candidate from my party, I congratulate him. I know how frustrating it is to serve for just a short period and then leave Parliament. Looking at the list, it is impressive. I do not know these ladies and gentlemen, but being a Member of Parliament who represents a cosmopolitan constituency, the names give some indication. I hear the Leader of the Majority Party is complaining that Muslims have been left out. That ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not justifying wastage of even a shilling. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: It could have been the marginal error. I did not know you are a mathematician. I thought I am. I have always imagined and believed that you are just a lawyer and that is it. Probably, during your lower levels of education, you must have done some maths. What I meant to say is that this is the only fund that has received a positive verdict. You can even see the results of NG-CDF across the country. As I conclude, there is a trick as to why NG-CDF is successful. The trick is that this is the only fund which ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is disturbing that we are getting Supplementary Estimates II from the National Treasury at this time. We should express our disgust - not displeasure - at what the National Treasury is trying to do. We have given a serious indication to the Treasury that our dealing with the Budget Estimates for the 2019/2020 Financial Year will not be business as usual because this country is overburdened in terms of taxation as well as credit and debt levels. Probably, the National Treasury is trying to distract us from focusing on the Financial Estimates for 2019/2020. Hon. Speaker, I ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: National Treasury is trying to do through these Supplementary Estimates. That is probably why they have introduced these Supplementary Estimates at this time. Hon. Speaker, in order for us to do justice to this country, we must focus on the Annual Budget Estimates. I urge the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and all departmental committee chairs that we focus on the Annual Estimates for the 2019/2020 Financial Year. Let us deal with the Appropriation Bill by 30th June and then we look at the Supplementary Estimates. There is no rush. This House has no time limit in dealing ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with you, but it is the seeking of the authority which should be done within two months. The approval can be given any time. That is my understanding. They have already sought the authority. So, they have fulfilled their requirement. It is now for Parliament to play its part. There is no condition for us to give the approval within two months. We can give the approval afterwards. That is why I was asking that if the money has been spent and they are seeking approval, we can put the Supplementary Estimates aside for the time ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: It is unconstitutional! view
