• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Private universities. We have been funding them without bringing in the issue of audit. It is a serious issue we need to consider. Hon. Speaker, as you look at it, you need to consider the inherent issues instead of amending and even expanding the scope of private universities in the funding now. Is it still necessary? We have to consider whether it is still necessary to send students there. Currently, public universities have no students and that is why funding issue is coming. Funding by the Government depends on the number of students. Currently, public universities are closing down because ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: there. Therefore, why are we amending the law unnecessarily now? Change of policy is necessary so that we do not send students to private universities any more but leave them to choose where to go. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Finally, Hon. Speaker, students sent to private universities suffer. Other than the Government funding the students, there is the extra fee which is paid by students. In public universities, they pay about Ksh40, 000 or below. But in private universities, they pay close to Ksh100,000. So they are suffering. Hon. Speaker, as you consider the constitutionality, look at the moral issue also whether it is right for us to continue sending students to private universities at the expense of public universities which are collapsing because they are not funded. view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I urge you to consider this and rule that this is not an issue to consider in a hurry. It can be considered in a wider perspective. view
• 21 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I beg to support Hon. Musimba. When it comes to the issues being raised here, if you allow any court, including just a Magistrate’s Court, we are opening a Pandora’s Box for busy bodies to just walk into any local court and get orders and you are harassed. At the end of the day, people who are not genuine can interfere with other people. If we want to be very serious, let us make it difficult so that the only people who can pursue this issue are those who are serious and they have evidence. Let us not make it ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I want to comment on the first Petition on issues on squatters. The squatter issue in this country has been very serious. I want to encourage those officers who are responsible for resettling or handling this issue to only concentrate on ensuring that such issues are resolved before any squatters are evicted or moved. One of the biggest mistakes we have been doing in this country is to evict people to camps then when it comes to their verification, it becomes very difficult. We want to encourage the responsible officers to be very cautious when handling ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: This is a serious matter and it should be handled quickly to save Kericho, Bomet, Nandi and other tea growing areas from being wiped by the tea plucking machines. Thank you. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: This is a very important amendment, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. Whereas grants are important, we are not able to control the donors, and the best is for county governments to be put under performance contracting where the donor only gives on the basis of performance, the way World Bank is doing. The World Bank has put most Governments under performance contracting where they reimburse what has been used to do a certain project which they are committed to do. So, as long as county governments have not been put under serious scrutiny on their performance, we will still have serious ... view
• 6 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Land issues are very emotive. I would like to state very clearly that, this time, the Ministry in charge of land issues and the one in charge of the Interior should be very serious about resolving those issues. I must state on record that, of late, it is very worrying that we have a crop of administrators who are very immature. When it comes to issues of insecurity, you will find an administrator telling the public that the Government is unable to resolve insecurity issues because the criminals are more sophisticated than the Government. That is ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was also shocking to me for Hon. Kajwang' to speak things which are not supposed to be said by ranking Members. The Constitution is clear and he cannot pretend to be talking on behalf of the Deputy President. That is ridicule and we cannot allow it. view
