• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Another issue that needs to be addressed is the ongoing projects. I am sure my other colleagues have spoken about it. When you move around this country, you see many ongoing projects, but from the way the Budget Estimates are presented to us, it is almost impossible to know the state of the ongoing projects. We do not know whether they are 20 per cent complete, 70 per cent or 90 per cent complete. How then can we properly budget for projects, if we do not know the degree, level and percentage of completion? The National Treasury must change their ... view

That is why we come up with economic stimulus packages. That is why the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) employs many people at the grassroots level.

• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: That bottom up is yours. First of all, you do not even understand the meaning of the bottom-up economy. I am very sure, if I challenge you to explain clearly what bottom-up economy means, you will start talking about wheelbarrows. That is not bottom-up economy. Hon. Sankok, we are not in a hospital.

That is the only way this country will realise meaningful development and meaningful economic growth. However, the managers who have been tasked with the responsibility of managing our funds at the grassroots level are disappointing us. They are stealing the way the national Government officials steal. Therefore, we devolved resources to spur economic growth but the resources do not end up doing that. view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Yesterday, I was in some programme and one of the leading economists said that Kenyans will slap us the same way one of the presidents of a friendly country was slapped; or Kenyans will end up caning us.

• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Aden Duale has kept on repeating that now that Jubilee is in Government, that they should pay a debt of Kshs6 million that was owed to Hon. Kalembe Ndile, which is basically a political negotiation by political parties. Is he in order to imply that Kenyan taxpayers’ money should be used to settle debts that are owed by political parties or friends of political parties to others? When you keep on referring that now that you are in Government, what you are trying to imply is that we should go and raid public coffers to pay money ... view
