• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I have further argued in the past that even the way we allocate the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to constituencies that have less than three wards 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
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: when in Mwea Constituency I have eight wards is still not fair. I hope that as we look at resource allocation Bills in this country, we need to re-look at what we are doing. We need to look at how resources are allocated to ensure that in future we do not create another problem as we have always had. We have talked about marginalised counties but we are now coming up with a neo- marginalisation caused by our ways and methods of allocation of resources in the country. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: As I support this Bill, I urge the Senate and the Budget and Appropriations Committee to take more interest and understand how some resources from development partners and from our kitty are merged so that we do not cause disparity. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I urge our Budget and Appropriations Committee to take interest and know how some of these projects are implemented out there. This is a lot of money that has been allocated. Part of it is a grant and another part is in form of loans. This country is going to pay the money. It is not free. If we are going to do so, there must be a very serious mechanism of ensuring that the money going to counties whether from development partners of from our kitty at the national Government level is followed up by a ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also support this list of nominees. I would like to thank and congratulate the nominating authority for ensuring that this time there was a serious attempt to ensure regional balance and he looked at marginalised areas. We could not have everybody represented in this list but having participated in the exercise that vetted the list of nominees, I can confirm that the Committee was very serious in looking through the list that was presented before it. As our Chairman said, we were particularly interested in ensuring that we ... view

• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I support it. As I do so, I note that most times we assume because we have internet services wherever we are, that people out there also have them. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Access to internet is important to everyone and it will also save us a lot of revenue. We have people who are travelling long distances to just take a copy of their IDs which can be transmitted through such facilities. I also want to note that although the Motion talks about introduction of these services in constituencies, we have constituencies that are far too large and they have more than one sub-county. It is high time that even as we discuss some of these services, we should consider doing them at the sub-county level and not just at the constituency ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: services and put together all that money that can support these services. By having these services at the sub-county level we will also be saving our people a lot of travel to the Huduma centers that are located at the county level. People will be able to do some of the simple services that they require including putting in their applications and only go to Huduma centers to collect their documents or payments. This is therefore a very important service to our people. We know that the investment on telecommunication cables out there is huge. We know that our country ... view
