• 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
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: healthcare. There is still disagreement. We can make positive steps even though the resources are limited. However, those limited resources need not be stolen again. When we hear of billions of shillings possibly getting lost at a parastatal like the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), where a CEO appears before Parliament and says he is not aware of who decided on what to buy, who to bring or who to source from, it sends shivers down our spines as the institution that oversees that Authority. I appeal to the Departmental Committee on Health where Hon. Nyikal sits to bring very ... view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had started talking about the youth. The youth bulge in this country is real. We must find ways and a clear strategy of dealing with the youth issues. I agree with the President that inciting the youth is not the solution. Tokenism is not the solution. The solution lies with clearly defined programmes, strategies and plans to empower the youth. That can only be done through innovation. That is something that we need to work on very seriously. The President tied the issues of security together with other issues under Article 10 of the ... view

In order to realise the two-thirds gender principle, the membership of the Senate is being increased from 67 to 94. That is an increase of 27 Members. In the National Assembly, we are increasing it by 11 Members. That is a total of 38. Compare that to when you ... view

• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know why some constituents cannot elect literate people to come to Parliament. You do not bring these kinds of little people to come to Parliament. You do not even know what you are saying. view
