• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think we need to ensure decorum in this House, and realise and understand that this is the august House. The way Hon. Sankok is progressing with his contribution, he is stirring emotions for nothing. He is bringing issues this country is trying to forget and insinuate that Raila Odinga is the cause of violence and problems in this country; by saying he went to Kibaki and shook hands and now he has gone to Uhuru and shaken hands. Hon. Sankok is a beneficiary of consideration of persons with disability courtesy of Raila Odinga. The way he is ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not have a problem with Prof. Fatuma Chege. First, I do not know her well. However, I have heard from those who have interacted with her and the Committee that she is qualified for the job. However, the concern which I have which this Committee can help the House deal with is the tendency of the Executive, particularly the President, to create too many State departments in the ministries. We, as a nation, cannot always complain that we have a bloated wage bill that keeps on increasing. As The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: a House, we keep on approving more appointments and creation of positions without even raising a finger. What is our role as an institution that oversees the Government in this country? If we have agreed that the Government is heavy, then we cannot continue allowing creation of more positions in the Government. This lady does not need a new job. She already has one. We can only create more positions if we need them. If we do not need them, then why do we create them? view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Education has too many PSs already. Why are we creating additional PSs? We have five PSs there. On behalf of the people of Suba South who are taxpayers in this country, we do not need another PS in the Ministry of Education. The Executive needs to realign these functions to other existing State Departments, so that we retain the number of PSs which we have. I am saying this convinced that this is the only way, at least, we will say that there is a stop to the way we do things. It is hypocritical for us ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I oppose this Motion, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Owen Baya is my friend who sits very close to me. Since he deserted the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and went to another wing, which I do not want to mention today, he is so confused. The BBI has not been costed. If I ask you to present a cost of the positions that are created in BBI today, you may not do it. Those are allegations. We are discussing a substantive issue on whether we should expand the Executive or not. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: (Spoke off-record) view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second this Motion, I would like to begin by appreciating the work that has been done by the Senate in reviewing the Division of Revenue Bill and proposing some amendments to it. I would also like to commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the speed and timeliness with which they have reviewed the Senate amendments to the Bill and prepared a report which has been tabled in this House. We are all aware of the extensive delays in previous financial years in passing the Division of Revenue Bill and the adverse effects that ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: of revenue shall be transferred to the county without undue delay and without deduction. When we hear that some county staff have to endure five months with no salary, I cannot help to wonder: Have the National Treasury’s staff also gone without salary? And since when did it become okay to delay county disbursements such that even salaries cannot be paid for almost half a year? Even if revenue collection has significantly under-performed, provisions of the PFM Act on cash management allow for short-term borrowing to meet urgent demands such as payment of salaries. There is no reason whatsoever for ... view
