• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want to talk straight to the Jubilee Government. I have heard none other than the deputy leader of the Jubilee Party, the Deputy President, talk about rising debt and saying that there is debt unsustainability. How I wish that the Hon. William Ruto had listened to some of us early enough! When the Jubilee Government took power in 2013, in June 2013, the debt level in the country was Ksh1,894,000,000,000. By the end of June 2018, a period of just five years, the debt level had risen to Ksh5,047,234,000,000. That is an increase, within five years, of Ksh3.15 trillion. ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Let me take this House back to some statistics. From June 2010 to June 2011, the increase in debt for that year alone was just Ksh260 billion. The following year, the increase was Ksh260 billion again. The following year the increase was less than Ksh240 billion.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Jubilee came to power, the increase has been over Ksh600 billion every year. Immediately Jubilee came to power in April 2013, every financial year, the debt level has been increasing on an average of Ksh631 billion. The plain truth is that no one in Jubilee can run away from causing this country to incur the debt that we have today. In fact, before anyone talks to Kenyans, the first thing one must do is to apologise to Kenyans. The Deputy President should apologise to Kenyans for causing the increased debt level before he complains about the rising debt level. Figures ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: If we are to help this country, we have to go back and see where the rain started beating us. Hon. Kanini Kega has talked as the Chairperson of my Committee. This financial year and the last one, we have been borrowing money at zero interest rates. Previously, we were taking commercial loans. This is the first year that IMF and its conditions and conditionalities is giving us Ksh78 billion at zero interest rates to be repayable in 30 years. This is the first time that the World Bank is giving us Ksh82 billion to pay at 1.4 per cent ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want to conclude my contribution by asking, is this Budget Policy Statement a business as usual document? Hon. Speaker, add me just one minute. While we appreciate as Kenyans that we have resigned to the fate of hakuna pesa slogan, it is important that the Government gives us hope through the document they release. For how long will the youth continue getting handouts through Kazi Mtaani and through wheelbarrownomics kind of politics? We want a strategy that will help expand the manufacturing sector to employ the youth of this country. We do not want view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: ; we do not want wheelbarrownomics; we want real job creation in this country. This is not politics. Kazi Mtaani is being championed by the Jubilee Government while wheelbarrownomics is being championed by Jubilee “B” which is now United Democratic Alliance (UDA). So, it cuts across. We do not want wheelbarrownomics and Kazi Mtaani, but we want real jobs for our youth. We were called analogue. Now the analogue is becoming digital and the digital is going with wheelbarrownomics. We need to be serious with ourselves in this country. view

• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, the issue that Hon. Okelo has raised is very important. I have been in this House for 13 years plus. This is the first time, since I came to this House, that we are in March and we have not received even 50 per cent. In fact, what we have received is barely over 10 per cent of the NG-CDF allocation. We have had a conversation with the Cabinet Secretary on this matter. The CS is giving his side of the story, which appears not to be very accurate. We have, as the ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: previously not received the NG-CDF funds are entitled to receive the arrears. Therefore, we must agree with the CS to have those arrears factored in the Supplementary Budget and also make sure that the money is released to the NG-CDF Board as soon as possible. That “as soon as possible” should not be delayed. We should have all the NG-CDF funds in our accounts by the end of March. I am just about to conclude. If the Executive is not going to listen, then I do not see why we should deal with what comes from the Executive when money ... view
