• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. Right away, on behalf of the people of Turkana West, myself and family, I wish to express my sincere condolences to my departed colleague, Hon. Grace Kipchoim—a very jovial, friendly lady who was very passionate about the representation of her people. I happen to have worked with Grace during the time when we were trying to create peace between the four counties of Turkana, Samburu, Baringo and West Pokot in 2015 and 2016, and the fruits of that collaboration can be seen. I remember Grace to have been a very ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak on this very important amendment Bill. From the outset, I rise to support it as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning which dealt with it. We spent quite a bit of time engaging with stakeholders. I concur with the various The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: amendments which are likely to be brought during the Third Reading by the Committee, based on the views given by the various stakeholders who appeared before us. I think it is already a foregone conclusion that this Bill is basically recognising the need to have the county governments participate in this new procurement method in our country. The PPP method of procuring is expanding development funding for our country. This is already in place in the national Government and now county governments will be brought on board. I want to explain a bit, that PPP is about raising private funds ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Speaking about benefits, it behooves and I agree with my colleagues who have already spoken, that this should not be an avenue for corruption or creating mega scandals at the county level. The counties which are going to get into PPP programmes should implement projects which will benefit their people. This will translate to the benefit of the whole country when the impact of the projects is seen. They will improve the living standards of our people and provide essential services like roads and stadia’s in various counties. By removing the PPP committee in the old Bill, this new Bill ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: In this amendment Bill, the CS incharge is required to make regulations for the implementation and execution of this Bill. All this is captured in Clause 13 of the Bill, which talks about various issues including the county government. Clause 13(54A)(5) states: “5 A county government shall implement a public private partnership project if the project- (a) provides value for money; (b) is determined to be affordable; and, (c) ensures appropriate risks are transferred to the private party.” This amendment Bill is helping us to relook at how PPPs are going to be actualised at the county level. The CS ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this amendment. First, just like my first two colleagues have observed, the establishment of Turkana University College will go a long way in giving the Turkana region a very essential service. University education is now becoming a necessity in terms of human resource development. It will enable these people to compete effectively with the rest of Kenyans. The cost of education will then go down for the people living in that county bearing in mind that Turkana County is very far from where most universities are. Secondly, in terms of where ... view

• 9 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Chair of NGCDF Committee for allowing me to second this amendment. Allow me to state two observations on that. In 2003 when NGCDF was introduced into this country, that was the first time some regions of this country saw equity in development. If you go round this country you will see the work of NGCDF. The lives of Kenyans have been changed by projects that have been undertaken through the funding of NGCDF. These projects done by NGCDF have positive impact. Students have gone to school and roads that would not have been ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak to this Motion. At the outset, I rise to support this Motion fully aware and knowledgeable that decentralisation is the precursor to what we currently have in this country. It goes without saying that we must decentralise issuance of IDs. I come from an area which is almost 1,000 kilometres from this city. The process of acquiring IDs is difficult and that has undermined service delivery to my constituents. People cannot register as voters because they do not have IDs. In my constituency, the cash transfer programme for elders ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: register for M-Pesa services will be asked to provide his or her ID number. This Motion is important for services to be rendered to people in our areas. With those few points, I support this Motion. view
