• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, Hon. Speaker I am throwing a request to you to discuss with your counterpart at the Senate. When Committees sit we spend public money and it needs to be spent prudently. It does not make sense when a Committee of National Assembly is investigating a matter and the same matter is being investigated by another Committee at the Senate. Even in the National Assembly we can have two Committees dealing with the same matter. This, to me, is a waste of public resources. Like now, we have the case of the Ruaraka land, where PAC of the Senate is ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: dealing with it and the Departmental Committee on Lands of the National Assembly has concluded the matter. What if the recommendations of the two Committees are at variance, which one will be implemented? To me, I thought that is what Hon. Maoka Maore should have raised instead of trying to condemn those Committees which I think have been doing their work. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that Hon. Maoka Maore a very seasoned Member today did not get it right. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we have reached the most critical part of this budget-making process for the plenary. The Budget and Appropriations Committee had enough time to interact with the Budget. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: As much we would approve the allocations to State House Cabinet Affairs two things need to come out. I hope we are not creating extra positions at State House and Cabinet Office. The Big Four Agenda can be coordinated by the existing Government departments.

For example, if it is the issue of housing, what is the work of the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development? Hon. ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: it. The Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to explain where the money is coming from. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree that we could pinch from here and there. But, why are we pinching from unpinchable, if there is such a word? The National Police Service in this country is suffering from deplorable accommodation conditions. Even if the specific use of this money was questionable because I know that was the issue, we should still have put this money under police housing to provide however few number of police houses. This is a programme that requires a lot of funding. The message we are sending, in my view, is not right. We are sending a ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to make this correction. Hon. Duale is a Member of the National Assembly and represents the interests of Kenyans across the country. So, it is not right to say that he cannot comment because of his constituents. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: We need to think through this NACADA business. That is because, if it cannot help fight drug abuse, probably the money that we give it can be reallocated to build more churches and mosques so that people are preached to. The issues of drug abuse are issues of morality, spirituality, belief and faith. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: So, we need to think whether we should give our churches money. view
