• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: It is time we took necessary step, even if it might appear painful, and let the TA hand over. We should monitor how the successor institution will get this done. Clearly, nobody wants to see their effort lost. Remember that it has been almost five years and three years from the election time. It is almost five years from the time the Constitution, 2010 came into force. People have stolen vehicles and machinery. However, records do not lie. The long arm of the law will catch up with them. We will recover the stolen assets and ensure that appropriate punishment ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Issues will always rise but on this one, I vowed with my Committee. I support the recommendation of the Committee that we should let the time lapse. As a matter of fact, only next week is remaining. As a nation, we need to worry about how the successor institutions will carry out the mandate. We should not allow them to sleep. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: We have a new Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. Devolution is another mammoth institution sucking up a lot of money. It has a very huge mandate. I wish Hon. Kiunjuri good luck. I hope that he will give us a better grasp of things. We need less public relations and more substance. If that happens, things like the ones we are concerned about will begin to get tackled. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. That reference is very apt. Fortunately, the TA has worked mostly with contract staff.

Even in the next The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: race, at the time of handing over the baton, the speed goes down a bit but you will eventually pick up speed and proceed to conclusion. The Committee is aware of that situation. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: We discussed this matter and agreed. The critical thing is that there are enough people who are concerned with continuity of the services and functions that are not going to be under the same house. They do not need to be under the same house. They were carrying out very broad functions. There were negotiations between the national Government and the county governance, but people split in different directions. Their job was difficult but it has since been settled reasonably. Those functions can be moved to the various line institutions. I have a fair amount of confidence that even though ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Chairman of the Committee. In addition to the hired consulting staff is the secondary staff. What made the TA an organisation was the fact that there were coordinating services and management by the TA. The key thing in the transition is that there should be some coordination from the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee to see this through. These are issues that can string on. The issue of sharing of power and services between the national Government and the county government is continuous. There are elements of it that are time bound but ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report both in its broad intention and in the form in which it is being presented. One can quibble about something that could be emphasised but the principle was right. This is the right thing to do. view
