• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the amendments to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2018, which was published on 23rd April 2018. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: As it has been said, the amendment is intended to realign only two clauses that were found to be important. One deals with the period within which the nominating agencies should complete and pass over information to the Cabinet Secretary - which should be within 28 days – while the other - Clause 3 - amends Section 9 of the Act that provides for a vacancy in the office of the chairperson and members. It is proposed that we introduce a term limit of six years. Therefore, this short Bill is only amending the two clauses to realign the Act ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that the administration block meant to provide office to the Sub-County Commissioner in Butula Sub-County and whose construction commenced in 2015 has stalled despite being adequately funded? b) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that the construction of the said office block is completed without further delay? view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. First and foremost this project was misconceived. The people of North Eastern Region needed more water and roads and not walls. The Report as it is, is giving us a story of another cash cow which was to be used at the border to pretend that they are constructing a wall, when they were looking for ways of taking money out of the system. This is a very long border. From Border Point One to Border Point Two, it is about 700 kilometers or ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my comments on the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2017). This is a good move by the Senate in clearing the uncertainty that exists. With this Bill, it is clear that should anything happen where a county government is suspended, we have a law and rules on the ground to be followed by the authorities. This amendment Bill clears many doubts as to what would have taken place if there was to be a suspension of any county government. All the procedures have been ... view

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Public Accounts Committee Report. The Report is huge. It appears to be growing bigger and bigger, year after year. The major items that appear in the Report are pending bills, unsupported expenditure and imprest. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Time has come when the National Treasury should look for ways of reducing or clearing pending bills. I am aware we have committees in the National Treasury that have been looking at pending bills. This should have been completed by now. The Committee should have come up with ways of curbing pending bills. It is known that pending bills form the first charge in a new financial year. Therefore, we should not continue having queries on pending bills in every ministry. We must deal with the issue of pending bills. Something must be done by the National Treasury to stop ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Many colleagues have talked about unsupported expenditure. I do not see why we should be having unsupported expenditure. This is a way of hiding some wrong doings by the ministries. Every expenditure needs to be supported. I do not see a situation where a cashier enters expenditure in his cash book without supporting documents. If they are lost or destroyed, that means it is a question of theft, which should be handled by the right arm of the Government. view
