• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also congratulate the Committee for the research and the Report they have come up with. I would like to thank the forestry department for taking care of Ontulili Forest in Meru County. It is a water catchment area that requires a lot of protection because it provides water to many people. It is good work that the Ministry is doing in planting indigenous trees so that the forest can regenerate and continue providing people with water. I would also like to congratulate the recommendations by the Committee for the recovery of land given illegally in ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to say a few things about this Bill. Let me also start by thanking the Minister for bringing the Bill and all the other Bills that are required for operationalisation of the county governments. We are now happy. We now know that the county governments will be operational because you can have them on paper but if there are no resources allocated to them, they cannot operate. Therefore, the Minister needs to be thanked for working very hard and making sure that the Bills are here. Madam Temporary ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me an opportunity and by calling out our full names. That is a new style that we quite like. I also want to take a very short time. These are competent Kenyans who have served in the public service for many years. They also reflect the diversity of the Kenyan nation and that is a requirement in the Constitution. The panel undertook the interviews quite well and they also met the gender requirement. If you look at two or three of them; like Mr. Titus Ndambuki has served as Permanent Secretary for ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me also add my voice to what other hon. Members have said; that the rules that were established in establishing this Commission were intended to prevent anybody, irrespective of what office one holds, from circumventing justice and preventing qualified Kenyans from occupying offices they deserve to occupy. The accusations that are being raised against Lydia Nzomo have never been proven. She was never asked questions relating to them when she was interviewed. So, these were afterthoughts that were brought in to make sure that she was kept aside, so that other people who were ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also support the amendment. I think the amendment is basically setting some standards and giving criteria so that not everybody competes for that position. We want to reduce the competition for people wanting to be in the committee. So, putting some minimum educational qualifications for people who will add value to the Committee is fair. Even now when they are not there, my committee in my constituency---- Most of them are Form Four level and above. I used that criteria because I wanted people who can also give some technical input in running the projects ... view

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Bi. Naibu Spika wa Muda, mimi pia nataka kuunga Mswada huu mkono kwa dhati. Afisi ya chifu ni muhimu sana katika utekelezaji wa majukumu ya Serikali mashinani. Katiba ya Kenya ambayo ilipitishwa na wananchi wa Kenya haikupiga marufuku ofisi ya chifu. Ilisema marekebisho yafanywe katika ofisi ya chifu na ya mkuu wa wilaya ili zifanye kazi sambamba na serikali ya kaunti. Kwa hivyo, Mswada huu unaidhinisha msimamo wa Katiba ya Kenya juu ya ofisi hizi. Machifu na wenzao wanaofanya kazi katika Serikali ya Wilaya wasiwe na wasiwasi wowote. Kazi yao imejikita katika Katiba ya nchi hii. Wataendelea kutekeleza majukumu yao ... view
