• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this proposal seems to be okay except that we need to be clearer. When clause 4 was being discussed, there was a question as to why we were not bringing in the MCAs. Then there was the issue that they are in the County Assembly, and the Governor is also in the County Assembly. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: He is in the county. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, he is in the county. If you were to legislate for the county, then we should not include the Governor. If we are saying that we are not including the MCAs, then we should also not include the Governor. We should not be discriminative in the way we are making our laws. We should either leave out both of them or we bring in the MCAs and define their titles. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, consultation is very important. I wish we could even have an extension of that clause to make it actually more serious. We have had several cases where NEMA has actually purported to have consulted the public, especially when they are licensing, when that has not happened. Therefore, it is very important that they involve the public. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment because environmental assessment is very important. However, considering what has been happening, we wonder whether these people doing the assessments are really up to speed in terms of knowing the objective of the assessment. You will find that an expert comes and does the assessment but the report does not help the local community. There are very many quarries. There is one in my constituency where road construction was done and the people are suffering because the whole quarry was left The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: open. We wonder whether the experts had actually recommended that a certain protection be done so that it does not harm the people. So, the people are really suffering. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. There are a lot of questions which have always been asked and are being asked by the same House; whether to allow the Government to lift the ceiling or not. One of the biggest issues in this country is that there are many investors who are moving out of the country. There are many jobless people who are looking for jobs and there is no hope for them getting jobs because the economy is not growing as fast as we expect. If you look at ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I was working in the tea industry. It is operating in its own world because most of the tea producing companies which are operating in this country, you will be surprised that they are generating their own power at a cost of Kshs.4 per kilowatt. The cost of power supplied by our own Kenya Power Company is above Kshs.18 per Kilowatt. If we can produce more power and make it cheaper to the extent that we can actually charge up to between Kshs.4 or Kshs.6 per Kilowatt, there is no way investors will move out of this country. Instead, they ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, if the Government wants to plan, I believe they are not going to borrow, all what we are doing now is just to allow them a leeway to borrow up to Kshs2.5 trillion. It does not say that when you give somebody a cheque book which contains 50 leaves and you are the same person who is going to approve the expenditure using that cheque leaf, there is no worry. I am really worried that our friends who are opposing fear that the Government will spend this money at ago and it will spend it carelessly. You realize that ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: you look for investors to invest in your constituency, the youth will be employed, the economy of that area will grow and the Government will be able to collect the revenue and that revenue then will be used to repay the loan. If we fear borrowing, we will not grow the economy. We must grow the economy so that youths get employment. Once the infrastructure development starts, the youth will be employed by the contractors who are building. About 130,000 vacancies for employment will be available when the Standard Gauge Railway project fully starts. In the long run, the cost ... view
