• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I want to second this Motion. Yes, today morning is usually set aside for Private Members’ Motions and Bills. As the Leader of Majority Party has said, traditionally we have always allowed the immediate sittings after the President’s Speech to be set aside for debating it. In fact, the President’s Address to the Nation is such an important exercise in any democracy. This is because it spells out what the country has been able to achieve, what the Executive is doing and what it plans to do in the foreseeable future, mostly in the next one year. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Members should allow this House to start the debate this morning and continue with it in the afternoon. Those who will debate in the afternoon will be very unlucky because they will use the national language. I am sure many of us have issues, I am not the only one who has issues and challenges with it. I am pleading with you that Hon. Atandi should not speak this morning and be allowed to speak in the afternoon so that we can see how the people of Alego have become eloquent in the national language. The electronic version ... view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Looking at this Speech of the President which was delivered to this House, and it is the seventh speech since President Uhuru Kenyatta assumed office in 2013, he actually covered many areas. The Constitution, under Article 132, requires the President to address himself to certain issues one of which is the effort the Government has taken and the progress realised in achieving the principles and values as espoused under Article 10 of the Constitution. Further, he is required to address himself to issues of international relations: how we have engaged in meeting our international obligations as a country. He is ... view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: over Ksh160 billion. If you add the two, you are almost hitting a trillion in a very short period of time just because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That raises our debt as a country. I am sure we are almost passing Ksh8 trillion and so, heading to Ksh9 trillion. We must bite the bullet. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at our expenditure, the entire recurrent expenditure and the figure from the National Treasury, it is coming out that, as a nation, we are spending over Ksh100 billion more than what we are collecting on salaries and recurrent expenditure. That, ... view
