• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have decided to contribute to this debate today because on 5th March, 2013, when the returning officer announced that I had won the elections, it was the first wining in my entire life. I wanted to vindicate the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) because that day, they did the best job in Samburu. I know they did so everywhere in Kenya. If I was to accuse anybody in this country for making me and all of us win that election, it will not be the IEBC. Otherwise, I will be brief and say that all ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: What I will say to my many friends – I have many friends on the other side – is that, if anybody thinks that he is here illegally, you can resign. We will find you a better referee who will see how you win that election. The vindication of IEBC is through the by- elections that have been done a few months ago in different places. If you look at the by- elections, almost everybody who had a case and went for a by-election came back. They won the same way they did during the elections. I want to thank ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Although I am a man, I also represent women from my constituency. This is a noble thing and I want to thank hon. Nyokabi for bringing up this issue. I have never known that something like that takes place in our primary schools where I come from. I want to seek the following clarifications. First, is the Government providing money for sanitary pads the same way it does with money to old people and other vulnerable groups or is it giving the sanitary pads so that we can follow that up in our constituency? Secondly, ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: curricular system? If it really affects the education of our girls, then it will look more like text books and everything else that is needed in schools. Is there a consideration by the Government to bring this product into the mainstream educational requirements for our schools? view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Joint Committee for work well-done. Looking at the proposed amendments to the regulations, they are basically addressing two issues: To make sure that the regulations conform to the parent Act and improve areas that are not covered very well by the regulations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the success story of the CDF is written all over our country. If you move across the country, you will see that the success story of the CDF is written in bold all over. Every good dispensary, school or anything else, you will ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: CDF is a true success story in our country. It is written all over our nation. If you go anywhere today in our country, you will see projects done by CDF as the main and best projects in local communities. The main reason why we have CDF today is because it has been a success story and not simply because members of this House are elected, as claimed by some squatters who want to get money to manage as The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: well. We have money under the Members of this House as patrons because it has been a success story, it was the first devolution our country has seen and has succeeded. There is a famous saying by the American people that “if it is not broken, do not fix it”. The CDF is there because it works so well and is not broken. view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: We cannot do anything to CDF because it has employed people. If we were to take it away today, many people will lose jobs, and many communities which have depended on CDF both for bursary and development will have to run out of that development and it is something which we can only sustain as a county. I have to confess that I did not know how I would remove any of my CDF Committee Members if need arose although now they are doing very well, but this regulation will address that. It is necessary that as a Member of ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This year as you know very well, we increased CDF from Kshs.21billion to Kshs.33 billion. It is not right though to have the CDF Board here in Nairobi taking 5 per cent of every allocation of CDF. If you take about 5 per cent of Kshs.21 billion, it amounts to over Kshs.1 billion or something like that. But if you were to take 5 per cent of Kshs.33 billion it goes to over Kshs.2 billion. I do not think the CDF Board can justify that in one year their expenses have increased by almost Kshs.1 billion, almost doubling. It means ... view
