• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee for a job well done. I wish all committees were working like this. We would be really proud of this Parliament. I hope in future we will see more committees learning from this Committee to deliver good reports on time. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On the NG-CDF, it is one of the best models we have in this country. When it comes to execution of projects, before you do it, the money is there. I wish the national Government was also doing the same. In this country, many projects that have been executed by the national Government have stalled because of lack of planning. A Government body can give a contractor a job knowing very well that there are no funds. With the NG-CDF, we are very lucky. When you are executing a project, you must make provision for money. The other good thing ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: As for the county government, I am yet to see what they are doing. So, it is high time the NG- CDF amount was increased. I want to urge whoever is responsible for the appointment of members of the board to do it very fast. We cannot have such an important organisation without a board to manage its affairs. Let us confirm that great person as the CEO. He is a great man who knows his work. There is no need of having such a person acting for seven years. Let us confirm his appointment and maybe we will see ... view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution. There is a correction I would like to make before I make my contribution. My colleague here has said that NEMA charges for approval of drawings. That was waived. This is so that Kenyans can get well informed. We do not want to introduce corruption in the Chamber. view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: From the outset, I support this Report and commend the Chairman and his Committee for doing a very good job. From the deliberations, there are a lot of accusations against NEMA for not doing a good job. I have interacted with them and I can say that NEMA is not well staffed for the kind of work they are supposed to perform in this country. As Parliament, we need to give them adequate funds or else, we will be wasting Kenyans lives. The other thing I wanted to point out is that Athi River is very much polluted. Apart from ... view
• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I am not accusing the county governments. However, we need to look at this as a country and see how we can plan our towns. Nairobi is growing and we are still using the old master plan. We are planning new industries and the housing scheme under the Big Four Agenda and the towns have not been re-planned. How are we going to execute these kinds of projects? In fact, before we start working on the housing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: project, the master plan of Nairobi and Athi River should be revised because these towns are growing. Our Government needs to look at all these things. Last and not least, because many Members want to contribute, I want to thank the Chair for this Report. I want to encourage him that as they look at pollution, they should also include planning because it is under the Committee. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand here to oppose this amendment because it will kill the local businesses. I come from Murang’a County. I know how Equity Bank started. Hon. Kilonzo has spoken about Unaitas which is a growing Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisation (SACCO). If we pass this amendment, it means that our people will be out of business. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to give another example. It happens in the construction industry where people categorise others. You say that category one will do work worth more than Kshs2billion which means that our people do not compete for those jobs. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose this amendment. view
