• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment looks a little bit okay even though I was against the whole issue of giving command. So, I support. I wanted to confirm that actually I love being a fishmonger. So, do not be worried that hon. Duale called me a fishmonger. view

• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to say two things; the amendment by hon. Waiganjo is very good. Firstly, it is very clear that recruitment in the Public Service must be done competitively. There must be competitiveness in the recruitment process. Secondly, as hon. Waiganjo has stated, Article 246 is very clear that the Commission must be involved in the appointment processes in the National Police Service. The Inspector-General is part of the appointments in the National Police Service. We cannot do without it. So, let us do away with the idea of the President being given a blank cheque ... view

• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Even though we need to respect other people’s rights, but I have a problem with the statement that the Chair read. She said that there is a regulation and especially touching on uniform. Hon. Speaker, if we allow religious dressings in our schools, then tomorrow other religions can come up with their own. For example, Wakorino will start putting those things on their heads; there is Dini ya Msambwa and so on. Are we not going to cause chaos in schools? Even Reggae followers will actually insist that they be allowed to keep Rasta. So, even ... view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this House will recall that for the first time in the history of this country, we approved that the Government of Kenya can get financing of our Budget from issuance of sovereign bonds. It would be important for this House to note why it is necessary for the Government of Kenya to go that route. First, we need to diversify our sources of funding or borrowing.

• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wanted to start by thanking the Government for the first time, because this is something we have spoken to many times. We thought that part of our Budget would be financed in the 2011/2012 Financial Year through issuance of sovereign bonds. Why is the amendment to the PFM Act necessary? view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: We realized when passing the Budget that allowing the Government to issue sovereign bonds externally will get us money when individuals and investors with money out there give us loans at concessionary rates.

Therefore, what this amendment is seeking to achieve is to provide a legal framework for receipts of money from external Government securities. That is the essence of this amendment. view
