• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: that when one is not able to secure a tender one simply goes to court. From my experience, I can say that the courts have suddenly been taken over by activists. We will never get any justice if that trend continues. So, to ensure that posterity in this country will benefit, we must make laws which will ensure that nobody, including the courts, has the leeway to ensure that everything stands still. Therefore, we must be careful about this procurement administrative body, which is going to hear disputes arising from procurement processes. I am deeply concerned about the formation of ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: machinery, which does not even work, when they get contracts they just move the machinery to a site with the purpose of getting the mobilisation fee. After that they disappear from the site, and wait for the 90 days period. Then, they revise the price, and even if you do not agree to the new price, they are still okay because they have already got their money. So, it is good for variation to take place only after 12 months. It will be very good if we ensure that the commencement period is shortened. That way, this country will develop ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: If you look at Clause 158(8), it is a very important. We must perfect it further. It reads:- “In applying the preferences and reservations in this section- (a) exclusive preference should be given to citizens of Kenya where- (i) the funding is 100% cent from the national Government or county government or a Kenyan body; and---” That will remove the notion where people argue that it is a donor-funded project to the extent that we even forget when it is funded by the Government. This clause will ensure that any funding to projects by the national Government or the county ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: manufactured in Kenya. Any other such construction projects should get materials and spare parts from Kenya. Along the railway line, many factories will be built. In fact, along the railway line, we want to see many factories which manufacture materials which are required for the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway. That is going to help our country to industrialise. Other than providing materials during the construction period, they are also going to provide materials for maintenance in future. This Bill also requires that when certain thresholds are exceeded in any contract, for instance, when a contract exceeds Kshs5 billion, ... view

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I was trying to say is that there was a concern when we were discussing the Bill on the Public Audit. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and that Bill came when it was already being transacted in this House. My feeling is that even if we 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
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: are not going to backtrack on what is happening now, we are setting a bad precedent thatwhen a very important Bill is coming to the Floor of the House, the relevant Committee is not given time to look at it. It is not even in the agenda. So if we allow this to continue especially on the Bills which are constitutional in nature, we are going to lose out in terms of the relevant Committee not being able to talk to experts. We come up with a summary which is meant to guide hon. Members when they are contributing. We ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was seeking your guidance.Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I would appreciate if in such a case you use your discretion.
