• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: We have the Constitution, which provides for the devolved system of government. However, there is no comparison between what the NGCDF has been able to achieve with about Kshs100 million, with the billions of shillings that are being channelled to the county governments. It is high time that there is even restructuring at that level so that if there is devolution, it is not only for employment but it also meets the needs of the people. For example, a lot of money is spent in my county in meetings in the name of participation, but it is for campaign for ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The question of administration is skewed. I thought that when we were going for devolution, the whole idea was to channel resources to the right place, where the people can control. Ninety-five per cent of NGCDF is channelled to the development projects. The money which is allocated for sports, environment and administration is less than 10 per cent. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I am also glad because we made changes in the CDF Act and came up with the NGCDF, which we are using to fund the projects. Although to a certain extent that will have a disadvantage, aligning the activities of the NGCDF with the Constitution is necessary. It is a good thing to have funds at the local level where Members of Parliament are not directly involved. This will help the people who are appointed through a panel to man the development projects. This will also remove the image of the people where everything is done by the Member of ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: So, we have to abide by the law. This is why all peace loving Kenyans should abide by the Constitution. We cannot create laws that we are not willing to respect and have the way so that by the end of the day what people feel at one time is what they want to take. It is necessary to respect the Constitution that we worked for very many years to change. Even what we are doing here is to align these activities at the community level with the supreme law of the land, that is, the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: With those few words, I congratulate Lafey, Isiolo North and Nyakach constituencies for fulfilling the requirements for carrying out activities of transforming these respective areas in the Republic of Kenya. view

• 26 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support this amendment as it will make us compliant as per the wishes of WADA. Thank you. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Seeds and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill. This Bill is important because it recognises the importance of seeds, inclusion of food and other plant materials that are important. This Bill also supports the possibility of preservation of germplasm. This helps because plant materials and what we have within our environment support the livelihood to a large extent. We recognise the importance of these genetic materials in various aspects like in medicine and various food types. This preservation is also important for preservation of our heritage. The plant materials are part ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: This recognition supports the understanding, verification of various species of plant materials and qualities that can be identified by carrying out research and by trying to preserve and come up with the correct varieties for various places. With these few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this amendment. It is important for people co-owning a piece of land, for each of them to have a document to indicate so. view
