  • 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: 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
  • 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is a community here which is discussing their communal issues. On this issue that has been brought to the House through the Petition, I do not want to anticipate debate. I just want to add that there are over 1,000 people who are living on that land. It is a formal settlement. It is not an informal settlement. They are not shanties. They are not mabati structures . These are people who have been issued with title deeds by the Government of Kenya. The petitioners in their Petition claim that there was a survey plan and a ... view
  • 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. As you are aware, the Supplementary Bill came late in the day and the Committee has been receiving information from the relevant authorities in piecemeal, but now we have consolidated information that we can use at once. view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Report but with a lot of reservations. This is not the way to run the economy and the National Treasury. You do not have to go beyond the Report of the Committee if you want to know that there is something wrong with the Supplementary Estimates III. The Committee did a good job; they have brought out all the issues that pertain to the way this has been done improperly. view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: As the Leader of the Minority Party has said, it is the first since Parliament was granted powers to make the Budget and since I joined Parliament that we are dealing with Supplementary III. It is very clear that Article 223 of the Constitution is being misused. The whole amount of Supplementary III is under Article 223. It has been brought here so that we can ratify it and even if we do not, there is nothing we can do because the money has been spent. Article 223 of the Constitution was meant to cushion on emergency and unforeseen issues ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a job well done because they have pointed out that information has not been provided on how additional expenditure will be financed suggesting that financing will be accrued from debt. That means we are living on debt. The National Treasury has not provided documents for the Committee to ascertain when the first withdrawal was done. This money might have been used at the beginning of the financial year. Those are not my words but it is in the Report. The National Treasury must put its act together. I am not ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am doing this for the good of the Government. The National Treasury might be misleading other arms of Government. It is our responsibility to oversee and legislate. Part of what I am doing is oversight. view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I agree with the proposal to pay the health sector Ksh5.8 billion. The reason we have the Supplementary Estimates III is because of the extraordinary times we are living in this financial year caused by the COVID–19 pandemic. It is granted. The heath issue could be an important issue, but the other issue I am seeing here... In the spirit of the “handshake” let me support this. I urge my people that they must vote for this. Thank you. I have nothing to add. view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to inform Hon. Sabina that Hon. Ichung’wah is suffering from what is called withdrawal syndrome. He is withdrawing from the government to the opposition. He has been having problems for the last one week. view
