• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (i) Could the CS explain why Nginda Division in Embu North Sub-County has not been gazetted yet the Registrar of Persons has been issuing National Identity Cards to persons indicating the place of issue and births as Nginda Division? (ii) Could the CS confirm whether the failure to gazette the division led to Kenya Defence Forces’ not carrying out recruitment at the said division, thus denying the youth from that area employment opportunities? (iii)What steps is the CS ... view

• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Report. At the outset, I support the Report. I was in PIC in the 11th Parliament and part of the 12th Parliament. When the CEO appeared before our Committee, he was very nervous and mean with information. At some point, we found out that even the external lawyers had advised him not to proceed with that tender. His own Company Secretary was not aware that he was awarding a tender. Therefore, we have had a lot of mischief. We, as the Committee, advised him: “Please, ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.265/2020 to the the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the status of construction of the Muthatari – Kimangaru-BAT and Muthatari-Karurina-Kivwe roads in Manyatta Constituency to bitumen standards despite preliminary work having been done? (ii) What has caused the delay in the construction of Ena-Kithimu-Kivwe- Kevote Road to bitumen standards as directed by the President in July 2017 (iii) When is the construction expected to commence and when is the expected completion date for the project? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Report. I happened to be a Member of PIC in the 11th Parliament and in the current Parliament. However, I was elbowed when there was rearrangement of committees. My Chairman then, Hon. Abdullswamad, guided the Committee very well and I hope he will be the next Governor of Mombasa. Inshallah ! We burnt the midnight oil in coming up with quite a number of recommendations. We invited all the organizations involved in procurement The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: services. I want to mention a recommendation we made concerning State corporation’s chief executive officers (CEOs). This is because they are taking advantage and misusing their authority. We found one who had done procurement of services before the expiry of a contract. We asked him the reasons behind that because he completely refused to heed to the advice of internal and external lawyers like Iseme Kamau who advised him against doing so. He also refused to take legal advice from the Attorney-General. We found this to be very serious because the CEO did not consult his board members and arbitrarily ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Again, we found that when he was procuring that service, he awarded a contract to companies banned by the previous board which was there before he joined the company. This proves he had a conflict of interest. As a Committee, we gave a number of recommendations. But I would like to zero-in on one. We decided that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) should take action against the person who is culpable, since they have experts who can do forensic investigations. Then, afterwards, the matter can be taken to court. If not so, ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I would want to make reference to the recommendations we did. I was a Member of a Committee that visited Japan in the 11th Parliament to see the operations of some of their companies. We found some of them had infrastructure. The Auditor-General himself accompanied us and even in the 12th Parliament, the Auditor independently decided to go there because there were complaints against some companies which were awarded that work by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). Fortunately, he found out that those companies had submitted forged documents to KEBS. It is sad to note that the same companies ... view
