• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table:- An additional list of nominees to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Committees from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund Board. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute in support of this Motion as amended. I would like to give a few highlights on the Supplementary Budget. As my colleagues have said, it rearranges some sectors of the entire Vote especially the ones purported to have shortfalls. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has missed its targets in this quarter. They reported that they missed about Kshs100 million. That is not a small shortfall. Sometimes KRA is overambitious in its targets and if not, the systems of revenue collection need to be relooked into to identify ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another re-allocation, which I support is that of the Kshs200 million that has been taken from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and moved to the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC). I am aware that the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries was scheduled to visit that facility today. He will observe that this is a very important facility. Livestock products account for 12 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, if we improve the facilities that cater for livestock keepers and their products, especially the KMC, and invest in disease control mechanisms, ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Kshs200 million as a re-allocation in this Supplementary Budget. The money is also meant to buy milk coolers for some stations. Therefore, what goes to the KMC will not be Kshs200 million, but a little amount. In the coming financial year, KMC needs to be funded fully for it to bring this country value for money as it used to before. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Another re-allocation in this Supplementary Budget is of Kshs1.71 billion in the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, which has been taken to the Kenya Power Company (KPC). We had the Speaker’s Kamukunji yesterday where the top leadership of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, led by the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary explained the measures that the Ministry has taken to actualise the Last Mile Electricity Programme. Since they have been given Kshs1.71 billion as a re-allocation or an addition, they need to do more. We have a shortage of transformers, especially three phase transformers in the country. You ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: There is a re-allocation of Kshs150 million to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. I know that the able Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, the Member for Murang’a County, is seated behind me. I am sure she is waiting in queue to contribute to this Motion. We will talk more about it. This has been taken to computer supply because the Jubilee Administration flagship project is the provision of laptop computers to Class One pupils. Let me confess that some schools in my constituency have been chosen to participate in the pilot project. The ... view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: My last point is on the Kshs200 million that has been re-allocated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade for purchase of buildings. Please, add me one minute, so that I can make that last point. I sit in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. There is need for us to buy more embassy offices. I would have given a long list, but I do not have enough time. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Most of our embassies and consulates abroad are in pathetic conditions. Therefore, we were looking at the issue of renting facilities. Our embassies abroad represent the face of Kenya as well as the Head of State of this country. Therefore, there is need to invest a lot in buying facilities. Countries with very small economies have better embassy facilities. Therefore, the money we use in renting these facilities should be used to purchase buildings, so that we can own those assets. view
• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf, and on behalf of the people of Loitokitok or Kajiado South Constituency, I condole with the family of His Excellency the former President, Mwai Kibaki, for the loss of the former First Lady. The people of Loitokitok associate very closely with the Kibaki family. That dates way back to the era of agitation for multi-party democracy, when the retired President started the Democratic Party (DP) of Kenya. The people of Loitokitok started voting for President Kibaki and DP since 1992 up to the date of his retirement. At one point in time, the ... view
