• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. I thank the Committee Members who deliberated and came up with a comprehensive Report, especially on the running of the Judiciary. This Report is very detailed and it took us time to put it together. We visited several installations and institutions in various parts of this country. This country lost billions of shillings because of poor procurement procedures and non-adherence to the rule of law. You will realise that even the prefabricated court houses that were built cost more than even permanent court buildings. There ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: members of the JSC drew allowances not because they had attended meetings, but because it was the order of the day. Parliament gave the Judiciary a lot of money with the intention of enabling it to dispense justice and to reform it. However, the Judiciary became a cash cow. There are cases where senior members of staff of the Judiciary, who were not supposed to draw allowances equivalent to that of Commissioners, were drawing the same allowances. In fact, in the recommendations, such officers need to be surcharged. There are also instances where valuation reports were not adhered to. On ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: This Report, if well executed, will, first of all, make sure that the judicial system in this country is brought to order. Use of money in various sectors of the Government needs to be diligent. The officers who are in-charge should be taken into account. There are instances where an officer fails to return imprest to the tune of over Kshs10 million and nothing is done. This needs to be followed. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The other issue is on procuring of ICT programmes which stalled. This is one of the issues that we need to follow-up. We should not sit back as public resources are plundered. Our part, as Members of Parliament, is to appropriate money in this House. It is not good - and that is why we are taking blame as Parliament - to appropriate money three or four times to an institution that cannot absorb it. Initially, the budget for the Judiciary was Kshs3 billion, but in two years it shot to Kshs16 billion. In fact, there was low capacity to ... view

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Dr. Andrew K. Tuimur has a wealth of experience in livestock production. As a graduate of Veterinary Medicine and a Lecturer, he has rose through the ranks from being a Divisional Livestock Officer in Nakuru to the current position of Managing Director of Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC). A few months ago, he managed to establish the first bull station in the country in Kitale. He will promote the production of livestock in this country.

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to second and support the appointment for Dr. Dinah Mwinzi as the PS for Technical and Vocational Education. I want to first of all thank the President because this time round, he has looked at regional balance and also considered gender. He followed our Constitution. Even with the PSs, we have a good number of the other gender. The President is very alive to what our Constitution requires - the face of this country. I want to note that Dr. Mwinzi is very qualified and she understands her job. She articulates the ... view
