• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: But whatever it is, we need action to be taken against those institutions that are violating laws and not supportive of persons with disabilities. By the way, as I wind up my contribution, I see hon. Dawood is on a point of order. Probably, it would be of benefit. I do not know whether the Temporary Deputy Speaker heard him. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I was just alerting the Chair, in case he did not hear him. But if you have confirmed you heard him and felt it was not necessary, then I can proceed. When you go out there in the developed countries, you will see the way persons with disabilities are treated. Then you will really sympathise with our society. This society does not even respect the elderly - those senior citizens of this country. We are in a society that does not respect such people. You will find young people who just joined politics the other day insulting people who have ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope the House will be orderly enough to listen to the debate. First of all, let me take this opportunity to say that when debating this matter, all of us need to be sober and listen to each other. I listened to Hon. Jakoyo while opposing the Motion. There is one interesting thing with this submission. First, Hon. Jakoyo has said that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has previously usurped the powers of other committees. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I want to take this House to Article 221(4) of the Constitution, which creates the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It says:- “221(4) Before the National Assembly considers the estimates of revenue and expenditure, a committee of the Assembly shall discuss and review the estimates and make recommendations to the Assembly.” view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: If the Budget and Appropriations Committee made recommendations it did not bring to the National Assembly, then it over-stepped its mandate. However, the estimate proposals were brought to this House. I listened carefully. I wanted to hear Hon. Jakoyo say that the Budget and Appropriations Committee passed some recommendations without bringing them to the National Assembly. Every work of the Budget and Appropriations Committee has been passed by this House. Therefore, you cannot even indicate that the Budget and Appropriations Committee has allocated money because it has no powers to do so. Such power rests with the National Assembly. Let ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to talk about the elephant in the room. The elephant in the room is that it is being alleged that members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee had their constituencies benefit from allocation of resources in a particular year. Hon. Speaker, let us face facts. Let us not condemn others and we do the same things, because the truth must be told. Hon. Members of this House sit in various committees. We know and I know that just the other day, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources allocated itself money for the National Youth Service (NYS) programmes and we know it. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, those monies are spent on constituencies. Hon. Jakoyo is a member of the Catering and Health Club Committee and he has been eating food free of charge. We need, therefore, to compute all the money that he has “eaten” since he became a member of the Catering and Health Club Committee and pay back because that is a practical game. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: In addition, we know of Members of Parliament here who are even supplying goods to Parliament. You cannot stand up. Hon. Obura is shouting here and he connived with Waiguru and they went and started using NYS money anyhow in Kondele! view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: So, let us not pretend--- view
