• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I understand the challenges of this House and its size. I support this Motion for Adjournment. We have done very good work for the last few months. We need to take a rest and go back to our constituencies and do more work at the grassroots. I want to commend the House today because I am very impressed with what we did today as a House.

• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: patriots in this country for so many years, who are now not retired, but are not actively working in either politics or in Parliament. We need to give them something because they have done great work for this country. The likes of Raila Odinga and the rest are people that we truly treasure in our country. I also want to commend the bipartisan spirit of this House today. I was worried about an amendment that was proposed by a Member of this House that you should be retired from politics before you get recognized and get something from our country. ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: and its activities and make sure that none of our young men join this evil group. Should our country require us to come back, we must cut short our recess and come back to play our role. I hope, like any other Kenyans, that those guys do nothing harmful to our country for the period we will be on recess. I want to ask hon. Members to be watchful and talk to our youths across the country so that we can isolate evil people and try to make this country safe for everybody. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am part of the Committee and I also rise to support this Motion. First, I commend the Committee for a job well-done. They interrogated this Supplementary Budget very well. However, even if we support this Motion, there are things that do not look right. A supplementary budget as clearly stated in Article 223 of the Constitution, basically addresses emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. The basic reason for any budgeting is so that we can estimate what we do almost clearly and we do not divert so much. An amount of Kshs57 billion is a lot of ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It even gets worse if you consider the items that are brought in for supplementary. You would imagine that somebody who has done budgeting in a Ministry or in Government and has been running these things year in, year out, would still have some experience to know the kind of maintenance they would need for a year. For somebody to bring a supplementary budget for maintenance, it raises a lot of questions. You should have at least estimated what you maintain in a year and allocate some money. If you look at things like salaries, these are straightforward issues. You ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: country Kenya. Artificial insemination and research are some of the things we tend to fund as a country. The biggest element and the biggest contributor of our livestock Gross Domestic Product (GDP) today is the livestock kept by the pastoralists in northern Kenya, but we put nothing in terms of research and marketing. We tend to forget that all the meat we eat in all these markets, up market restaurants and small markets in Nairobi come from some places like Samburu. It is time we started considering those marginalised areas in terms of livestock funding because that is where most ... view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment because we do not understand what regions are in Kenya. What is a region and where does it stop? Gender is very clear. You are either male or female. When it comes to regions, I do not know what region I belong to in Kenya. However, I truly know I am a Samburu. Thank you. view
