• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, this issue of conflict of interest as to who moves first as far as the House committees are concerned is something that needs to be looked at because it is the same thing we are seeing in the Senate. We see the Senate summoning the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. When you think about the functions of the Senate, you do not see this Cabinet Secretary discussing such a matter when this is a function of the National Assembly. So, we are interfering and micromanaging the Executive and through this, we are distracting them from ... view

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and commend the Committee for the good job they have done.

• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: ground. It is one Fund that is doing the job as intended. I am not sure what could have happened to sectors like education in our constituencies if we did not have NG-CDF. As we commend the Committee for the job well done, I want to go back to the question I have always asked in this House; about the distribution of NG-CDF. We have some constituencies that are far large and populous than others. I come from a county where my constituency has eight wards. The neighbouring constituencies have three, four or five wards. When we do development through ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: would also urge that we move quickly and release the rest of the funds, especially to cater for bursary, so that we can pay school fees for some of our young men and women who are currently threatened with being sent home because of lack of fees. We have a policy requiring every child to be in school. We know that some of those kids come from families that cannot afford to pay for their school fees. Therefore, bursary becomes their only rescue. When bursary is delayed, we find it difficult to even go to our home areas. That is ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do support delocalisation but with some caveats. This is a good exercise but TSC needed to prepare, more so by doing some mapping on facilities that are found in the schools. When some of the teachers are delocalised to some areas like in my constituency in a place called South Ngariama, an area with no roads and with schools that are far from having the facilities that one would expect, no housing and they are far from town; when the teachers come, they end up getting so discouraged that they do not even attend ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support and commend the Senate for coming up with this Bill.

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: the implementation of the County Governments Act, especially Sections 123 and 129 in line with Article 192(2) and (4) of our Constitution. Hon. Speaker, this Bill looks at the gaps which are in the principal Act. Clause 192(2) talks about putting in place a commission of inquiry which is asked to expeditiously make a report. That gave room for the commission of inquiry to take as much as it wanted and provided room for manipulation, as well as abuse. This Bill sets out a timeline of 90 days for it to make a report to the President. view
