• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: instead of that money lying idle. In the process, we will end up stifling the environment and the growth of our economy because we have funds that are not being utilized. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks I support the Supplementary Budget. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this particular Bill. As I do so, I want to say that the idea of marginalisation is real. There are some parts of this country which do not appear as if they belong to Kenya. There are also other areas which may not be considered marginalised. We, in Igembe North, where I come from, we are considered to be Meru. However, if you go to that area, there is nothing that shows that we are part of Meru. Igembe North is a constituency without water. The land, which has been ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill because in many ways, it is trying to define the institution of marriage which is very important especially on the part of the definition of age, and the types of marriages. I think this clarification is important. Marriage is a difficult institution which is treated in many ways. But all in all, it is important to have clarity in terms of the law and how this has to be carried out. People are given choices in this particular Bill; in the sense that they can decide on what form ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this amendment by hon. Sakaja. This is a very important amendment because it will actualize the pronouncement by the President that the youth, women, and the people with disability have to be considered when awarding this procurement. It is high time as a country we became a bit more serious as far as procurement and awarding of tenders is concerned. As we speak about employment and about all these things we are exporting most of our jobs and opportunities to other countries. Actually, it is like we have become mortgaged by the Chinese ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. What is in front of us is very important for this country because as a country, we have reached a level where we are almost getting to a state of anarchy. When we reach a point where the levels of the Government are not respecting each other, it is really an abuse of the principle of separation of powers. Looking at the Constitution, as highlighted by many hon. Members, the mandates of each of the arms of the Government are very clear. Our mandate is very clear. So, as we discuss whatever we are discussing here, ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: think that we can give them to spend the way they want, without being asked to be accountable. On that one, I would like to thank hon. Duale for bringing this matter forward. We also rely on your guidance. You are a wise lawyer. You have guided this House before. I am sure that, in your wisdom, you may also bring other leaders in the other two Arms of the Government, together with you. Please, this is a critical time in the Republic as we implement the Constitution. This is the time when leadership is called for. I have no ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to get some clarification on this matter. As per the response, there is very little that seems to have been done. It will be important to know why the process is taking so long, given the magnitude of the problem of drug trafficking in this country. There are people who are given leeway to get money at the expense of the lives of many people. Children of this country are suffering while we generate wealth by destroying the lives of others. Therefore, could we know from the Chairperson why this ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the report by these two Committees. As the Members are aware, the land docket is very important and many of the problems that we have in this country, including the post-election violence are related to land issues. It is tragic that officers in the Ministry are transferred without due diligence. If we allow Cabinet Secretaries to exercise the responsibility of transferring officers without due diligence, the Civil Service will be highly intimidated and officers will not perform their functions as they are supposed to. I commend the Committees for the work they have ... view
