• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: is what Kenyans believed at the time of Independence; that we still have a struggle for illiteracy, disease and hunger. The parting shot for this great man is that our country still requires mapambano of disease, hunger and illiteracy. That is what we should take from Senator Kajwang’. May his soul rest in peace. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will speak as briefly as I can because I believe the Kenyan people need to know the truth about this cattle rustling thing. What we have here is utter dishonesty from members of different communities. We have had two different incidences in our country where a number of soldiers were killed. One is the recent one in Kapedo where 21 soldiers were killed. The other one is not far in memory; the Baragoi Massacre where 45 of our armed men from across our land were killed. If I might take you back, when ... view

• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Just when I was feeling that I have stayed for too long, you called me. This is a very good Bill and I support it. There are so many good things in this Bill. Before I address them, let me start from an area that I find a little problematic. I am talking about Clause 111 which provides for the Water Sector Trust Fund. This is a good idea. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: If you read this Bill further, you will find other things that are self-contradictory and I do not know what the drafters were thinking, particularly in Article 112. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the problems we have in our country, particularly pertaining the national Government and the county governments, there are provisions of the Constitution that are not explicit; that are not clear on who has a particular role; whether it is a county role or national Government role. Those areas have provided great fodder for conflict between the national Government and the county The electronic version ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: governments. This Bill, instead of providing solutions to that, it goes further to add fuel to the fire. If you look at Article 112, the objective of this Fund, which is okay if it is there, is to provide conditional grants to counties in addition to the Equalisation Fund to assist in financing of management of water services. Where the Equalisation Fund--- view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I am saying is that the problem we have in our country today as far as constitutional provisions are concerned are issues that are not explicit and clarity of roles between the counties and the national Government. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill in clause 112 tends to further that because I do not know what the Equalisation Fund is doing here. If you are trying to establish a water sector trust fund, let it be a water sector trust fund. I do not know what role the Equalisation Fund is playing here. This even goes further to complicate the issue by not clearly stating whether an area is a county or an area could mean anything else in this world because I believe areas are not only counties. That to me sounds like one thing that does not help this ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: If we go further to clause 155, it further complicates the whole issue because at the beginning it is said very clearly that this Fund in addition to the Equalisation Fund--- Clause 15(b) goes on to say how you fund this trust fund. It says: “to provide funds from the Equalisation Fund.” At the beginning you said “in addition to the Equalisation Fund”. You cannot again say to get funds into this trust fund, the Equalisation Fund is the one that provides funds to it. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: If this was in addition to the Equalisation Fund as it says very clearly in Article 112, then it cannot also be that it is the Equalisation Fund to provide funds to this trust fund. That provides a lot of problems. If you look at it in Article 151(a), it says that these funds are provided by Parliament. So you wonder within the Division of Revenue Bill, is this fund a national fund or a county fund because that has to be clear on who gets funds here. view
