• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am well guided. I want to reply and first of all thank the Members who have contributed to this very important Bill which has attracted about 13 Members. I think their comments will add value to the SACCO sector in this country. view
• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Concern has been raised by most Members about the sharing of credit information. Some fear that there is need to protect private information. The need for confidentiality has been raised by Members when it comes to the CRB information sharing. As we go to the next stage of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply and move. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I really want to thank the Mover, Hon. Abdinoor Mohammed Ali, for bringing such an important legislation. It has really taken time to have this very positive piece of legislation for this country. The gist of the whole Bill is in Clause 5. It is very interesting. Clause 5 has sub-clauses (a) up to (z). Actually, it is the only Bill I have seen with such sub- clauses in one clause. Sub- clauses (a) to (z) mean it is the proposed Livestock and Livestock Development Marketing Board ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: We cannot conduct research on livestock or do value addition on our breeds if we do not reclaim the lost holding grounds. That was another big setback. We lost the holding grounds. Those are areas where you can do research, value addition and cross-breeding for the benefit of livestock keepers. But they were all grabbed. Livestock management is a devolved function. The county governments, together with the National Land Commission, should work hand-in-hand to reclaim those lost holding grounds for us to try and improve what we are doing now. I have visited some countries that do very well in ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Division of Revenue Bill, 2017. My colleagues who have spoken have noted very key points. Let me just repeat one or two. The National Treasury, or the Government, has really tried this time round. There is an increment of Kshs10.8 billion or 0.12 per cent in the sharable revenue for the counties for the next financial year as compared to the sharable revenue for the current financial year. The counties this time will receive Kshs10.8 billion more. The total allocation is 31.12 per cent of the ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Let me now talk about the national Government’s programmes on the education sector. I expect the national Government to implement the programme of building a technical training institute in each constituency. I know that this is being done it in phases. This is the last financial year of this administration’s first term. I expected all the constituencies to have established technical institutes, as promised, by now. There is also need for the Government to revive the school feeding programme not just for the period of the current drought but as a continuous programme. If this is combined with the Free ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The Government has done a commendable job with regard to energy. Given this Division of Revenue Bill, the last mile programme on electricity should be extended. I propose that the Government should connect electricity in all public institutions for free. I am talking about schools, health institutions and so on. The institutions should be left to meet the overhead costs, for example, the consumption bill. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: On NG-CDF, I believe that this time round the National Treasury has not repeated the same mistake it made in the ongoing financial year that made NG-CDF lose Kshs10 billion. It was because of the formula they used in dividing this revenue. Most importantly, I would like to bring to the attention of this House the fact that the national Government together with the county governments is budgeting for the financial year that will begin on 1st July this year. Therefore, this Division of Revenue Bill and the programmes that are proposed here both at the national and the county ... view
