• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Sub-section 28 is on deadline for submissions of proposals from the constituencies. It says that the list of the proposed constituency projects shall be submitted to the Board before the end of the month of February each year. The Budget is read in June. We do not yet know the allocation for each constituency. Therefore, it may be difficult to submit proposals by February. As I move this, I wish to urge Members that, as the Speaker said in his Communication, we should remain behind a little bit longer, so that we can get the numbers to make a decision ... view

• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In relation to the point of order raised by Hon. Millie Odhiambo, she has correctly put it that Standing Order No.173 talks of “as much as appropriate”. However, it is good to note that these are the same Members who have been in this Committee since March 2013; the beginning of this Parliament. We have not changed anybody. The Committee has just been having one lady. The fact is that there is no single Committee in this House that has one-third representation of women the reason being that the total proportion of women Members in the ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: We have tried to apply that Standing Order as much as it may be practical. Additionally, we have what is called county women social fund. I am sure they will not include a constituency Member of Parliament. It is the same case for the CDF. It will be good to have the constituency Members of the National Assembly being in the CDF Committee. That will reduce the number from 20 per cent to the 16-member committee that Hon. Millie is chairing. It was even a challenge to have one woman because all the Members of Parliament are in more than ... view

• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I move the Motion, I agree with your direction. The following three Motions, namely, Order Nos.11, 12 and 13 were laid on the Table of the House on 26th March, 2015. We expect His Excellency the President to lay similar reports for last year in a very short time, probably next month. Therefore, I wanted to alert the Members to be aware of that. The three Motions carry almost the same thing. So, I will not take much time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: equitable sharing of national and local resources and decentralised State organs, functions and services are brought closer to the people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to protect and promote our national interest, national values and principles of governance, His Excellency the President has ensured that all the Government ministries, departments, and agencies contract and report on measures taken and progress achieved every year in the realisation of national values and principles of governance.
