• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to contribute to this Bill. I grudgingly support it. There is very little that has been achieved by the Board. The way things are in the Judiciary show little trust and too much corruption. Our judicial system is being utilised by busybodies who want to stop projects or processes. Some people occupy offices because of the judicial system that cannot be relied on and we may not be sure if they are qualified. Despite the fact that they have been vetting, they have not bridged the trust gap. We still have a very big ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: by Hon. Chepkong’a should help us as we allocate taxpayers’ money to the Board, what value do we get? It is useless to have a body or go through a process for the sake of going through it. It is important to get value, quality and have a mechanism for follow up. view

• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition. In fact, the road described by the residents of Igembe Central is very important. It connects very rich agricultural areas and also connects the residents to the Meru National Park, which is also a major tourist attraction. It is sad. This road is very important, but has been neglected by the Government. It should be re-carpeted, so that people can be served. This road connects Igembe Central to Igembe North. I hope this House will give justice to the people of Igembe Central and Igembe North, so that we ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this important Bill which clarifies the division of revenue between the two levels of governments. It is important to realise that the money that we are giving to the counties, the counties also wait to spend it. In my opinion, the leadership of the counties should consider counties as cost centres, so that at the end of the day, we see value for the money that we give. In my constituency, if you compare the CDF and the money that is allocated to the county, there is very little from the county. ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: In this Bill, I also see enhanced allocation to agencies dealing with defence and security for more surveillance and support. It is important to note that there has been some improvement in this area lately. More can be done in terms of cushioning and supporting our security agencies to ensure that we have security for our people. In certain areas that have experienced challenges like the National Youth Service (NYS), re-engineering has been done. Allocation to this area has been slashed, but the slashing must be followed with keen follow-ups to ensure that individuals entrusted with various responsibilities do not ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: are utilised on Recurrent Expenditure. Very little resources are put in areas where we can have greater benefit like research, development and innovation. Those are the areas which are given less attention. In the process, we end up being at the same level of development. It is my hope that we will have a greater scrutiny of the resources, so that governors do not spend the money for their enjoyment or creating conflicts, but they spend the resources for the greater good of the people of Kenya. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am a Miraa farmer, chewer and consumer. I respect the consumers of Miraa and those who grow it. The fact is that in this country, one can be arrested, taken to court and get imprisoned just because Miraa is very bad. I feel as if I do not belong to this country. If we can do such a thing, it means that we are supporting those countries which are making it very difficult for my people to generate income from Miraa . So many parents cannot pay school fees because they have lost the economic ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the Long Title because it makes clear what the Bill is about. For that reason, I support. view
