I want to start by saying that I represent Kangundo Constituency which was represented by one of the very first members of this House, the late Paul Ngei. But 46 years down the line, we, as elected Members, stand here and keep on saying: âIt is the high time we did this and thatâ. The late Ngei said the same and he went. Other MPs came and said the same. They left. I am here repeating the same words. For how long do we continue singing the same song? You are very much aware that we, as Members of Parliament, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, despite all those reports having been adopted, none of the culprits have been, at any given time, prosecuted. Kenyans are in a state of confusion. So, we should leave this House and go home and tell those who elected us that we have no capacity to take these issues forward and make the Government take action. The reason why I am saying this, is because there are many reports that have been given to the Government and if there is no implementation, then it is just a waste of time. We are wasting public funds ...

Ahsante, Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Mimi nitachukua muda mchache kwa sababu naona wakati umeenda ili Mwenyekiti aweze kuchangia kwa kufunga. Jambo hili ni ngumu sana na limezungumziwa sana. Ningependa kusema kwamba ingelikuwa ni jambo la maana sana kwa hii Ripoti kutiliwa maanani kabisa. Hii ni kwa sababu kidumbwe dumbwe cha taabu zilizoko magerezani ni kukosa mwelekeo. Mwenyekiti wetu ni shahidi wangu nikisema alipofungwa gerezani hakuwa na kazi ya kufanya. Ukimwangalia kwa makini utamwona ni kibonge cha mtu ambaye anangefanya kazi ya kuisaidia Serikali hii. Haikuwa jambo la busara kumfungia ndani ya jela bila kazi. Pengine kama angefanya kazi angeiletea ...

Mahabusu wa Uchina husambazwa kote ulimwenguni kufanya kazi ya ujenzi wa barabara. Wao hawaigharimu Serikali yao gharama yote kama vile kupewa madawa na chakula bila kufanya kazi. Wafanyakazi wa kampuni nyingi za kujenga barabara kutoka China huwa ni wafungwa. Kwa hivyo, badala ya kuwajaza mahabusu wetu katika miji mikubwa na kuwalisha bila kufanya kazi, ni lazima tuwahusishe katika ujenzi wa taifa. Tunajua taifa hili letu ni maskini sana. Hatuwezi kuendelea kuwapa chakula watu walio huru na pia mahabusu. Wafungwa hawa tunawapa dawa, malazi, maji na kila kitu. Ingelikuwa ni jambo la maana kama watu hawa wangelima mashamba yetu kule Tana ...

Jambo la pili ni kwamba, chakula watakacholima kitawalisha Wakenya, hasa wakati wa kiangazi. Wakati huu Serikali yetu inahangaika kulisha wananchi wake. Kama wafungwa wetu wangefanya kazi mashambani, basi tungekuwa na chakula kingi hapa

Thank you very much for the opportunity. I will take a maximum of five minutes to make my contribution. When you look at what is happening in the country, it is true that Ministerial positions have been given to people who need to be taken through induction courses. The best example is today. We are reading in the newspapers that Ministers are representing the Republic of Kenya with a population of about 38 million people and yet they do not understand the meaning of their positions. They failed here and now they have taken flights to go to Geneva to ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for making that clear. I never mentioned the word âcoalitionâ, I am talking about the responsibilities of Ministers in the Republic of Kenya. I am also not talking about infighting. I am talking about failure by Ministers to understand their responsibilities. It is not good to have Ministers who are squabbling and taking flights to go and represent over 38 million Kenyans.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to understand that as leaders we should be responsible and those who have been appointed to Ministries should undertake induction courses so that we can eliminate what is happening now. The Ministers are the Chief Executive Officers of their Ministries and they need to understand the responsibilities of the organizations that they are managing. As hon. Members, we have a lot of work to do in the constituencies. In many cases, a person is appointed today, taken to the office and he or she is answering questions. The answers to those questions have ...
