• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On power generation and distribution, the Jubilee Government has dedicated itself. For the first time in the history of Kenya, we have had a very serious drought in 2015. However, for the first time, we had situation where there was no rationing because the generation of power through geothermal is a wonderful thing. This country is among the few in this world which have a lot of potential for geothermal power. Therefore, the allocation of about Kshs90 billion to Geothermal Development Corporation (GDC) will ensure that there is enough generation and more connection of power to our people. The dedication ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: years. In the last three years, many parts of Kericho, Bomet and even parts of the North Rift have had a share of this problem of maize necrosis. Therefore, we need to have more allocation so that we can compensate the farmers even by ensuring that they get free seeds and fertiliser. On security, the allocation is okay. But the people in charge of security should ensure that they have clear programmes on dealing with insecurity in this country. We need to go back to the situation in the past where the Government had proper information. We need to employ ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Motion. Before I continue, I would like to bring to the attention of the House to the fact that one of the biggest problems we have in Kenya is bureaucracy. It is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: difficult to implement anything because we are trying as much as possible to ensure that everything we do becomes very punitive. An example is the difficult and punitive provision for payment of fines – which is counterproductive. Therefore, as we make very good laws to govern marriage, we must not introduce rules that make the processes difficult. As they are, the rules are counterproductive. We have made it difficult to implement the law. Advising people against entering into come-we-stay kind of marriage and, again, telling them that they have to travel long distances to get married does not make sense. ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Everybody is in his or her own world. These people do not even know what the people at home want. The people want the services to move to the sub-location level becaise they are not interested in going to the sub-county. We should empower the Assistant Chief to register marriages. After all, what we want is to witness that these two people have agreed to stay together and it is legal. When it is legal, then it is implemented by somebody who is representing the Registrar of Marriages and it can even be done by the Assistant Chief. However, we ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand guided. However, how can they register when we make the registration process very difficult? They will just get married. In fact, they will not even call the wazee to witness their customary marriage. They will just adopt come- we-stay. That is going to be counterproductive and that is what I mean. We need to make the process very easy for it to be implemented. With those many remarks, I urge this House to support this Motion. I have not consulted the Mover of this Motion, but soon, I am going to find out if ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to make my comments on what is going on. Hon. Speaker, it is very clear that it is important that for anything to happen in this House, we need to listen to each other, and have wide consultations. You have seen how costly it is when a certain thing has not been done and it has even cost us our time. Remember this is a special sitting, and we have taken almost two hours discussing this because of lack of consultation. There is an example which I will give. There was a company where ... view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: The only fear was that during the presentations we realized that most committees were accepting in totality what the Ministries were presenting. On top of that, they were recommending additions. The question is, when a committee comes up with additions to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and says it is begging for additions, where will that money come from? view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: This House must operate in a way that we do pre-audit of the Budget as presented by the Ministries. An example is the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade where I am also a Member. We took to task the various Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and Principal view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to rise and support this Report. Before I speak to it, I wish to state very clearly that the current Constitution is the best in terms of ensuring that this House does not become a rubber stamp during the budget-making process. Away from the past where the Minister for Finance would come to this House with a secret Budget, this House is fully involved in the budget-making process. That is a very good move. However, let us not forget that there are enemies of the current system. I have overheard that there is an attempt ... view
