• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am actually moving towards closure. I have just finished the issue of the road network. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I also want to talk about the land area. If you look at that formula, it says eight per cent for the land area but capped at seven per cent. What does that mean? What that means is that a county like Marsabit, for example and I hope I am accurate, if you take its land area percentage to that of the country, it can even be over 20 per cent. So, what this formula is doing is to cap it at seven per cent so that no county is allocated resources beyond seven per cent of the total land ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is exactly what I wanted to say. Probably, we will have to develop a way of reprimanding these Chairs. In the previous dispensation, it was very easy. If a minister or an assistant minister does not address or answer a question, he was barred from doing anything in the House. Anything from that Ministry could not be dealt with in the House. Now we have the ministers out there and the chairs here, we need to find a way. It is not just the questions. Even the Bills! We were discussing this yesterday in the House Business ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, someone is distracting me. I wanted to explain the formula from 2021/2022 to 2024/2025 Financial Years. What the Senate has done — which is the only thing that I think they have done out of the CRA formula — is that they have decided that going forward, if we allocate from Ksh370 billion in the next financial year, then 50 per cent of Ksh316.5 billion which is Ksh158 billion will be treated as what we call allocation ratio. You use the formula of the last financial year, then the rest you apply the current formula. This is ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The President has promised, I know there is also Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) where we are thinking of at least 35 per cent. So, it may be actualized. But before it is actualized, you should not legislate something that is like a promissory note. That is the concern that the Budget and Appropriations Committee had. That we have not decided on Division of Revenue for 2021/2022, yet you are already making a decision with that in mind. It is like the Executive and people have been complaining out there that Parliament is an appendage of the Executive. Now, you are ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support the Motion as presented by the Committee. First, let me also praise, thank and congratulate the Committee for doing a good job. In fact, the Mover of the Motion was very slow in moving the Motion; we were really struggling to hear what he was saying, but he was very detailed in his presentation if you had the opportunity to pay attention and listen to him. And he was seconded very ably. I just want to say a few things. One, I want to agree with Hon. Amos Kimunya, the Leader ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I just want to speak about the Registrar. I must admit that I have not interacted with the other candidates. Regarding Ann Nderitu, the nominee for the position of Registrar, I must say that this is a lady that I find capable, competent and has the temperament to handle the responsibilities of that office. We will all agree that this office requires good emotional stability to be able to handle the many complaints that it receives from political parties, some of which are very weird. Sometimes you even find the owner of a party being removed from the party, like ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. There is very little we can do. We did our best. However, there are certain misrepresentation of facts that I want to bring out clearly. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: One, the SRC is economical with the truth. In 2013 and 2015, these former Members of Parliament wrote to the SRC over this issue twice. Up to now, they have not been replied to. The letters have not been responded to. While transacting this Bill, Parliament wrote to the SRC, but there was no response. What do you expect us to do when the SRC chooses not to respond? view
