• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Constitution, it is not about one board; it is about looking at all the boards we have in the country in totality. The same goes for the various commissions we have. If you just pick one and you want to see how balanced it is, you may not get it. So, I would urge Members to constantly look at the various boards and constitutional bodies in totality and not just one. I think the NG-CDF, as much as people talk about it out there, is a good example of how devolution should work. Without the NG-CDF I am not sure ... view

• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted your guidance. Listening to the Members, I have noticed they are contributing towards whether or not to have a wall. I am wondering whether this was discussed before this House. If that is not the position, then we should restrict ourselves to discussing the Report on evaluating the project. If there was no discussion on the wall, then we need a separate discussion on it. view

• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is it in order for the contributor, the Leader of the Majority Party, to confirm that the Kshs3.9 billion was used to place a wire mesh –which is supposed to be for chicken and not for human beings– to prevent human beings from migrating?

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am one of the people who have been here from 2.30 p.m. and I have learnt a lot as a junior Member of this House from the two presentations that we have had today. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: This issue has really touched me. We have talked about demonstrations at JKIA. I think part of it could be out of some of the politicisation of issues that we are noting now. I have come to understand that what is happening here is an idea that has been put forward and is being considered; one that is being pursued through a feasibility study. This is something that we all do in our professional areas. We encourage people to generate as many ideas as possible and more so, innovative ideas that can move institutions from one level to another. I, ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I was also asking myself: Has something been determined to move to the implementation stage of the idea? My understanding from the debate here is that nothing can happen before the sessional paper comes here. So, everything is safe. I do not know why we are getting agitated by the whole thing.

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thirdly, this is sensitive. When we put the cart before the horse, we create a situation out there. When employees at JKIA are talking about demonstrating because there is a merger, it could be because we have gone out of our own selves and depicted a picture that somebody somewhere might have implemented the merger. This has cost us a lot as at yesterday. It is upon us, as responsible people, to ensure that we do not cause some of this acrimony out there. It can be very expensive. This is a populist move where we are moving very fast ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think for this one, you have a very easy job which is to simply say that we wait until the Executive brings this paper for us to see what it is, so that PIC can pick it and move on. The Auditor-General should also wake up. This Kshs150 million being put into the concept development will be audited. Once he does that, in the next financial year, we will see whether the money was well spent or not. view
