• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: department that deals with accounting for donor funds at the Treasury. I think this is something that Treasury needs to take up and give capacity to that department. Hon. Speaker, there is something that has also come out with regard to costing of functions. I think we have talked about county governments. County governments should not be given money arbitrarily. We need to cost the functions to county governments, so that every Kenyan knows very well what the amount that is sent to the county is supposed to do. The reason why we have to budget again for Rural Electrification ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: saying - even if we are giving more money to the Head of State and the Deputy Head of State. We need to be clear on what--- I support. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Really, nothing is out of order. I agree with you. Being a little bit senior in this House, I would like to tell my colleagues that nothing is out of order. Let me proceed and support the Bill. I want to support the Bill by saying the following: One, even though some of us, within our areas, are equally marginalized, I want to tell this House that it is even worse to be marginalized in an area that is not marginalized, because you will really feel out of place. I will tell this House ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: determining how and when the Fund should be used. I think this is a good move. However, we should think of deliberate efforts because 0.5 per cent of our ordinary revenue is very low. Let us think of deliberate efforts to help those areas that have been persistently and consistently over the years been marginalized, for example, North Eastern Province. This is why there is a lot of disenfranchisement in this country! Some regions even do not want to vote because they do not see the value of voting. It is high time this country looked into the interest of ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support gender issues very much, but we have to be procedural. When it comes to money, bills and anything that affects money matters, you cannot amend it on the Floor of the House. This is something that needs to go to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Actually, I even attempted to amend the VAT Bill on the Floor of this House and it was rejected. Much as we would want to support gender issues, we have to do things procedurally. There is a reason why the Constitution and our Standing Orders speak of money ... view

• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I appreciate the Communication from the Chair regarding this matter. I appreciate that the response that is going to come from the Chair, Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, is on basis of the Statement that was sought. However, I am a bit disturbed. Of course, we value and respect all the Committees of this House equally. In the event that the Chair of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing gives a report which is going to be tabled here and then the report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank the Chair of the Committee, and my good friend, for such a detailed report and, at least, for giving us the benefit for the first time to read some of the details that we have just been getting through the media and other fora. I just want to seek three quick clarifications. I heard the Chairman say that the Attorney-General has given a clean bill of health to this project, and has indicated that his office was and is still seized of this matter. There has been this concern--- view
