• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to welcome my colleagues from the short recess, which started, in my case, a little earlier than expected. view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I want to speak directly to this issue that the Leader of the Majority Party has brought. I want to add that in investigating, the focus should be more on the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) because it is the institution that has the supervisory role on the financial sector of this country. I do not want to belabour the point of suffering Kenyans or depositors who are likely to lose their hard-earned investments. It worries when an individual, whether he is a director, shareholder or whatever you want to call it, can purport to have borrowed Kshs7.9 billion. That ... view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The important question we need to ask is the role of CBK. What is hindering it from discharging its duty? Is it the legal framework, the personnel or is it corruption? That takes me to my final comment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I would urge the Jubilee Administration to enforce zero tolerance to corruption. In the absence of that, even the banking sector has started borrowing bad habits of the Jubilee Government. They have started stealing just the same way theft is going on in the Government. They think it is business as usual. I urge the Leader of the Majority Party to talk to the responsible authority in the Jubilee Administration led by the President of the Republic of Kenya. He should show by action zero tolerance to corruption. Let people who have stolen money be behind bars. Then those banks ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. First, I would like to take the House to Article 38(2)(a)of the Constitution which states that “Every citizen has the right to free, fair and regular elections based on universal suffrage and the free expression of the will of electors for any elective public body or office established under this Constitution”. Article 38(3) of the Constitution says: “Every adult citizen has the right without unreasonable restrictions to be registered as a voter.” Article 260 of the Constitution defines an adult as an individual who has attained the age of ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: That is what we call the waiting card. The law is there. The problem we are facing in this country is we are dealing with an electoral body that is rogue, incompetent, partisan and which participates in the electoral process as a player. It is not impartial. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has decided to behave like it owns the electoral process of this country. We need to remind IEBC that the electoral process belongs to the people of Kenya. The IEBC is just a referee. They cannot rely on regulations. I remember when they refused to use ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Petition by the Member for Igembe Central. I just want to tell my good friend that he has a very valid point, but that should not stop Members from Meru from complaining if roads in the region are dilapidated and need repair. As we push the Government to get new roads done or tarmacked, they should not neglect the roads that were tarmacked and are peeling off. There is a point I wanted to raise and I wish the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Wanyonyi is complaining but he should respect his party leadership. I rise to contribute to this Bill. While Kenyans were giving themselves the 2010 Constitution, they decided to create two levels of Government; the national and the county governments. They went ahead, under Article 202 of the Constitution, to define that the two levels of Government must share revenue. What we are doing is in line with the requirement of Article 202 of the Constitution that revenue raised nationally shall be shared equitably among the two levels of governments. The definition of ‘revenue ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. (Ms.) Nyasuna is probably tired of listening to her Chairman. How can the National Youth Service (NYS) be a national interest? It is not. That is money to be stolen. Jubilee has been voting to steal that money and it cannot be put in the Budget ahead of the shareable revenue. If the Jubilee Administration wants to fund the NYS, they should fund it from the portion of the national revenue after allocating money to counties. I do not see why this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: provision is taking precedent over the shareable revenue between the national and county governments. Laptops for school children is not an issue of national interest. National irrigation and fertiliser is a county function and this allocation should go to the counties. It is our duty to ensure that those funds are used prudently. We should end corruption in the counties. We should not run away from giving money to counties for fear of it being stolen. It is equally stolen at the national level. view
