• 1 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We have adopted it as a routine that in every new Parliament, we have a post-election seminar to interact with professional experts from other jurisdictions who will meet, have sessions and discuss with us how Parliament functions in other areas. I want to emphasise to the Members that it is important to understand - even if you think you understand - especially those who are coming in for the first time, that we have a new system of Government. This is a presidential system and, therefore, it is important that we attend this important seminar to ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to, first of all, start by congratulating Hon. Sossion for bringing this Motion. Now, I actually understand why, in our Constitution, we decided to include that we need representation from various sectors of this economy. We needed someone to represent workers and I think we did not make a mistake to bring Hon. Sossion to this House. I want to speak to those busybodies who are trying to interfere with the representatives of workers by trying to make the nomination of Hon. ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the BPS of 2018. I know we all know what the BPS is all about. It is a document that sets out the broad strategic priorities. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I started by saying that I know we all know what the BPS is. It is a document that sets out the broad strategic priorities and policy goals that the national Government and the county governments will follow in preparing their budgets for the financial year that is coming. This document must adhere to fiscal responsibility principles as demonstrated. It must indicate clearly that there is prudence, transparency and accountability in the management of public resources. It is in line with provisions of Article 201 of the Constitution and also the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, more specifically under Section ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: 2015 Sections 26, 27, 28, 29 and 34, we need to interrogate it whether it met the legal requirements and also the requirements as provided in our Standing Orders. I will tell you for a fact that the BPS 2018 has a low level of compliance with the legal requirements as I have just enumerated. I do not want to go into the details because I know the Chairman talked about some of those mishaps or mismatches between it and the legal requirements. I listened to Hon. Cecily Mbarire talk about how good we are doing and that we are ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: There is no point of order you can raise. You cannot inform me. Corruption is a big issue. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: You will add me my minutes because this is a waste. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: These are the things that I call complete waste of time. People who are so uninformed should not try to talk. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, kindly give me my two minutes which have been wasted. 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
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I have said that the East African economic growth in 2017/2018 was at 5.9 per cent. I have said that in 2019, we expect to grow at 6.1 per cent. Look at the Treasury information on the same data for Kenya. In 2017/2018, the growth is 5.3 per cent which is below the East African average. It is in the Treasury documents. Simple! You do not need to talk about things you do not understand and waste people’s valuable time. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: So, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can teach you. Tell me if the growth was not 5.3 per cent and tell me if the East African region did not grow at 5.9 per cent. The 5.9 per cent is the growth in the East African region and 5.3 per cent is the growth in Kenya. Tell me if there is any other figure different from that. That is why I said that because Kenya is below average, Kenya is pulling other countries down. It is simple logic. I have talked about inherent weaknesses in the agricultural sector. I have mentioned ... view
