• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I find interesting comments from the National Treasury. The public debt repayment is rising from Kshs362.4 billion to Kshs433.8 billion. That is an increase of Kshs71.4 billion or 20 per cent. At this rate, this country will be auctioned. We are burdening our future generations. The Jubilee Administration should rethink its priorities because you cannot start too many projects riddled with corruption at the same time. You are exposing our future generations to unnecessary burden by playing politics. The Jubilee Administration is playing roadside politics that we saw during the Moi and KANU era. Hon. Kibaki’s ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I see a lot of provision of money relating to other activities and functions. Political parties are supported by the State at 0.3 per cent. That has not been captured effectively in this Division of Revenue Bill. I want to say two things. One, we need to have the money going to counties to rise from the Kshs302 billion to Ksh332 billion that was agreed at the Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC). The IBEC was created to harmonise any differences. The National Treasury is fully represented in that Council. Whatever comes out of that Council should be reflected in ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: cent of economic growth. Next year is even worse. The promise by the Jubilee Administration was that in the first year it was to realise 7 per cent economic growth rate. The second year was to be double digit economic growth rate. That promise has not been met. We are waiting for Jubilee at the right and opportune time. I am not going to debate that. It should worry Jubilee that this is the final budgeting year for the Jubilee Government and it has not fulfilled even 20 per cent of its promises. Chances that Jubilee is going home are ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I could see you are struggling to get the point of order raised by Hon. Bare Shill who was given an opportunity to chair a party which was dying. I think that is why he was given to chair. I have two points of order. The first one relates to the issue canvassed by the chair of TNA Party which is almost dead or resurrecting. He spoke about the ODM de-whipping Hon. Mong’are in the Senate. That is misrepresentation. As a matter of fact, the information I have is that the communication was from the Minority ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: No. The chair of TNA raised it and I wanted to correct him. I know what he wants to do is create problems in CORD. He has enough problems in the Jubilee Coalition. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Can I now address that Hon.Speaker? view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. I will restrict myself to the issue raised by Hon. Mwashetani. I just brought this because my opposite number brought the matter. On the issue raised by Hon. Mwashetani, I think we have to be very clear. Yes FORD (K), ODM and Wiper Democratic Movement are parties but we formed a coalition that is recognized in law called the CORD Coalition. As a matter of fact, the House leadership we have is CORD leadership. Even communicating appointments to Committees and de-whipping of Members is done through the House leadership and that is the Whip of the Minority Party. ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I do not know why they are being agitated for no reason. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Mwashetani is a very good friend of mine. Recently you saw me advising him on camera. I hope he will take my advice. He needs just to behave well within the coalition, be loyal, support the policies of the party that brought him here and forget about being misled by the Jubilee Coalition. They misled him in Malindi and he made a wrong decision. Now they continue to mislead him and he is an individual. By the way, elections are next year. You know Hon. Mwashetani is serving his first term. I am really sympathetic to him. I wish ... view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: like Hon. Mbadi who has a pension. He needs to be careful otherwise he will be a former Member of Parliament very soon. Thank you. view
