• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. A lot of issues have been raised by other Members that I do not want to repeat. One thing that I must state is that this formula is political and it is not realistic. But most Members that have talked are supporting it because we need to unlock resources to counties. But the good thing is that no law is cast on stone. This law can be revisited. We have to say this to the Senate. If you look at the formulae well, ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: are allocating Kshs330 billion.” You must allocate what you have passed. So, you cannot pass this with the Kshs370 billion that is being quoted in the formula, without having a conversation. Let us not rush because of time. Let us not fear telling the people the truth. Finally, the Senate has abdicated its responsibilities. The problem is not allocation of money to the counties. The bigger problem in the village called Chepcholiet or Mugumoini or Chepswar where people are yearning for services. They have not been given water. People have been constructing roads using jembes and manual labour. And here ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As much as the Government is keen on protecting animals, it is also important that they take into account the interests of the people who live around there when it comes to pasture and other benefits that should accrue to the community. The same should happen in communities that live around forests. Their crops are destroyed by animals from the forests. The animals are chased away by askaris, but the welfare of the communities is not well taken care of. The Government should look for a way of protecting the interests of the people who ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. I am concerned by the way the amendments are being moved. In the interest of saving time, the best way is for him to say the amendment as per the Order Paper and then give the justification, instead of reading and reading. view

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker I thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Report. The CDF is a household name. I want to congratulate the committee for coming up with such a Report. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The CDF Act has gone through several stages and the last amendment was in 2015 when it was changed to the NG-CDF with the aim of ensuring that this fund is for the purpose of implementing projects which are touching on national Government functions. The reason for that is that, there was a lot of cries from the governors. The governors were accusing the CDF of implementing projects which belong to counties. It is very sad that since the CDF stopped funding projects like water, especially the villages, early childhood classrooms and health facilities, there has never been any meaningful ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know you are my neighbour and because you cannot speak while you are on the Chair, I can actually speak on your behalf. You did very well when you constructed many health centres in your constituency. As a mono, I followed you and we did very well. But right now, the counties have not even used those facilities. They are not providing medicine and staff to serve the people of Kenya. So, when we change it from CDF to NG-CDF, we now concentrate on education and security. However, the other sectors are suffering. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: In the 11th Parliament, I remember many Members in this House then, were proposing that devolution be done in a model looking like CDF, but there was a lot of noise from the then Chair of Council of Governors, our friend Isaac Ruto. He said these are the agents of anti-devolution. We were saying that because we have tried and the NG-CDF model and it is working, we could have implemented that and avoid the duplication of national Government in to county governments. County governments are very busy forming very big structures having Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries, yet it ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I want to end by saying this to the National Assembly. The issue of increasing funding to CDF lies in allocation of funding during the budget process. By the way, the NG-CDF Act says that, at least, 2.5 per cent goes to CDF, it does not say 2.5 per cent. So, you can even put it during allocation of funding here, if we become a House which we know is a House of honour. We must allocate more money to CDF and state the reasons of going round. view
