• 5 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We need a team that is acceptable to all Kenyans so that the elections can be credible and acceptable. Kenyans need God so that they can accept the reality. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, many Members have spoken to this matter. The points they are raising are almost similar. I request you to call upon the Mover to reply. We need this money because we have pending projects. An example is the money for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). The roads are missing money. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Appropriation Bill. It is an important Bill because it gives the Government the opportunity to spend and also to get means of investing in development in our country. As we pass this important Bill, there are certain elements we need to look at within our country. I believe that through the Appropriation Bill, some of these things can also be considered. We have had issues which have been looked at here. It is our responsibility to oversee the institutions that have been highlighted. We have monies which are appropriated at the ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: concept of devolution. That is why some individuals go to the extent of going to the court to stop the disbursement of funds to constituencies. One wonders where devolution is felt more. Is it at the constituency level or at the county level? The citizens need more understanding of the meaning of “devolution”. The money given at the sub-county level, which is the constituencies, is nearer to the public and it is administered at the lower level than the money that is appropriated at the county level. At the moment, there appears to be very little accountability at the county ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: If you look at this budget, you will see that there are many resources which have been appropriated for infrastructure development. A lot of funds have been put in development projects like rail transport. The road transport is good. In the last two or so years, there has been a lot of investment in rail transport through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). If the money which was spent in that project was utilised for the construction of the road network, we would have had a dual carriageway from Mombasa to Nairobi, from Nairobi to Malaba or even to Busia and ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The release of funding and flow from the Exchequer needs to be looked at. We need more efficiency from our National Treasury so that by the end of the day, the resources are released at the right time, there is proper monitoring and evaluation of what happens and we get value for money. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. view
• 23 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to agree with the President‟s Memorandum. It clarifies the Bill and states the functions of the Board. For this reason I support this Memorandum. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. It is my hope that when the Committee considers this Petition, there will be innovative ways of engaging the youth. There are many activities focusing on the youth, especially those who are in school and universities. Which category of youth is being considered in this Petition? I hope this will be clarified. However, there is a tendency in the Republic of Kenya, of every group feeling marginalised. It appears that we are in a Republic where everybody is marginalised. Maybe we have to reconsider the meaning of the term ‘marginalisation’, ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: we have the Uwezo Fund and other funds. How are they brought together so that by the end of the day, there is meaningful engagement apart from the National Youth Service (NYS)? How are all these engagements brought together in a focused way, so that the youth feel more engaged and involved? view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
