• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: is a university campus in Kakamega which is about to be relocated. The way he was pronouncing it got us concerned because he was talking of “Kambas” being relocated from Kakamega. I think that has a very serious implication because that would be scary if Kambas were being relocated from Kakamega. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Just to set the records straight, it is the JKUAT Campus which is situated in Kakamega Town that is being relocated. So, the petitioners are praying that the matter should be looked into. I support that fully. Really, university campuses have helped most of our towns grow. In fact, without those higher learning institutions in Kakamega Town and Bondo, just to mention the towns I am familiar with, they would just be dead towns. So, any attempt to relocate campuses is, in essence, killing the economy of those regions. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to second this Procedural Motion. This is a new practice we have developed which I think is very good. Previously, we used to have cases where if there is a communication from the presidency or the Senate then, you would wait until we report back, or had to reconvene a Special Sitting just to read to us the communication and refer it to the Committee. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: What we are doing is to ask the House to allow the Speaker to refer these communications when they come to the Committee to start dealing with them. So, when we report back a Report from the Committee will be ready. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I second. view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to also support this Motion to approve the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. It is regrettable that we are in the month of October, more than three months into the financial year and today is when we are likely to finally pass the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I hope the President assents to it because we do not direct the President. He may not assent to it as quickly as we would have thought. He may even return it back with a memorandum. Nothing stops the President from doing that. That means that ... view
• 6 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: money reaches the villages in terms of county staff or employees, it is money that is devolved and it is going to help promote the economies of our rural communities. Further, Ksh23 billion out of that Ksh79 billion should go to development in line with the PFM Act. How much that would have helped in terms of helping spur economic growth is so much. By the way, the moment economic growth is not spurred at the local level and at any other level, even the projected tax collection cannot be realised. This is because the Treasury, those who are responsible ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Keynan has spoken for me. Actually, Hon. Chris was seriously endangering my life behind me. view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: In fact, some of them are behaving like Trump. I want to weigh in on the issue of IFMIS. I want to say the following. One, the issue of IFMIS is not new. It has been with us for some time. I remember in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), we had a lot of discussions with the Treasury on the efficiency and effectiveness of this system. More so if you look at the records from the Treasury, almost every year there are upgrades of the system and they cost a lot of money. It is upwards of billions of shillings. ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: must be put in order and there must be money. Sometimes we think there is a pool of money in the Treasury. The Treasury is collecting money continuously and at times they do not have money. You do not expect the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Treasury to announce to Kenyans that the country is broke and that we do not have money. What they do is to close the system. When they close the system, they regulate the use of money. So, sometimes we may be too harsh on the Treasury for nothing yet they are just... Really some ... view
