Not necessarily, trying to concentrate on a few, I know they have only done in these two Financial Years, 15 counties. They still have a long way to go.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me go to specific votes and most, let me talk of Development Vote and not Recurrent Vote. I am impressed that there is some additional funding in this coming Financial Year on D105 that is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. You will realize that in the Jubilee administration, international trade has been put under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is because of the most important aspects of international trade in diplomacy. Therefore, it is good that this Ministry gets more funding as it has been done this Financial Year, for us to first ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: It is also good that our missions abroad are refurbished. Several embassies are in dilapidated state and everything is perception. If the representative of this country abroad, does not have a good face, that is already marks lost, in terms of international trade and international representation. D107, this is the vote on the National Treasury. First, of all let me take this opportunity to congratulate as my colleagues have said, the National Treasury for the very able way they have run our economy in these two Financial Years.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I was talking of the need to simplify procurement rules. This will help us in the ease of making business. Partially or at a large extent, this procurement rules, the way they are now are actually the cause of low absorption of funds, both at the national and county levels. So there is need to simplify them, actually, they are even impeding the implementation of government projects. Take for instance the Laptops, the standard gauge railway and the security tender awarded to Safaricom the other day, all of them have faced legal challenges and this is all because of procurement ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: D115, this is the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, the only thing I want to say about it is, the rural electrification projects that have been ongoing all over the country.
