• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I have been able to distribute the Bill to Members. They have gone through it. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for having gone through it and supported it. I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee which went through this legislation during the pre-publication and said that Kshs600 million is not too much to use on our young people in this country. It is not too much. In fact, it might even be little. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Let us have our young people wherever they are, whether it is in Lokichar, Embu or Kitui, know that the Government is focused on trying to help them access employment; that they can walk to the constituency office, give their documents, information, register on to a national database and have the same chance as the son of a governor, a son of a Member of Parliament or a son of a Cabinet Secretary to access employment. This will bring equity in our country. view

Wambugu should direct us on how to ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Jakoyo has raised a very fundamental question. It is two years since we started this new role of making Budget by Parliament. The one thing that needs to be clarified is the relationship between the Departmental Committees and the Budget and Appropriations Committee as regards the budget-making process. You have heard Hon. Chepkong’a very emotionally expressing his frustrations over the length of time he has taken in his Committee. Many other chairmen concur that we take so much time with Members. Even during recess hon. Members have sat down and listened to officials from Ministries and departments. Cabinet Secretaries ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I urge you that when you give your ruling, kindly give a considered ruling. There is a lot of precedent around the world, especially in Presidential systems as to the relationship between Departmental Committees that are scrutinised and have considered the different budget estimates for different departments and ministries. A lot of the re-allocations have not even gone beyond the ceiling. They are just re-allocations within the same total. If you look at the Report, even those re-allocations within the same total are being ignored. So, I urge you because this is a fundamental issue. It will set ... view
