• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is worrying when the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is the one who is defending the Government. It is very worrying because he is trying to short change the Kenyan people. It is a fact that Tanzanian economy is doing better than the Kenyan economy. I am not here to please anybody. Let me continue with my contribution. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The Budget Policy Statement indicates an increase in net foreign financing from Kshs200 billion to Kshs250billion, but a reduction in the development budget of Kshs637.90billion which raises concerns as to whether the additional funds are from loans which are not tied to any development project. The Government borrows loans and then it takes them to Recurrent Expenditure. Prudent financial management requires that when you borrow, you do so for development. They are “eating” money that they have borrowed left, right and centre. I used to hear of people who lived beyond their means. Now we are coming across countries that ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, according to the Budget Policy Statement (BPS)… view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hope you will compensate me for the time wasted. I do not know whether we are living in different countries. It is a fact that there is a project that has been completed in Turkana County of wind power in which KETRACO did not put measures in place early enough to evacuate the power. Now the country is incurring an expenditure of Kshs5 billion as fines and interest to the power company. It is a fact. You cannot run away from facts whether you are from Jubilee or whichever government. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me continue with my contribution. Projects outlined in the previous medium-term plans have rolled over to the subsequent plans and delayed implementation of key projects, indicating that Vision 2030 is not on course. The Medium-Term Plan III meant for programmes for the next five years is not in place. That is an issue the Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman will agree with me on. Again, there is the issue of the big four agenda that Jubilee is talking about. If you look at this BPS that they have brought, the plan is as usual. It ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, some of the issues to be addressed by the big four agenda are devolved functions. Housing and agriculture are devolved. There is no collaboration between the national Government and the county governments in this BPS in addressing the big four agenda. It is mere talk and nothing more. Look at the kind of funds that they have devolved to counties. It is an increment of 4 per cent against an inflation rate of 7 per cent. That means that county governments cannot provide services as they did in the last financial year. The inflation rate is ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. Your ruling today is precedent setting by all standards. It is a ruling which will help this country for many years to come. Because petitions are provided for in the Constitution, Kenyans think that anybody can bring any kind of petition to Parliament without looking at the law properly to ascertain whether it has basis or not.

• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Having said that, as much as you have ruled that this is not the right petition for the removal of the JSC, on the other hand, the Judiciary must be accountable to Kenyans because they run their programmes using taxpayers’ money. There are three arms of Government in this country – the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. The Legislature is held accountable by Kenyans through an election at the end of every five years. If I do not do my work as a Member of Parliament, I will be removed by Kenyans during the next general election. The Executive is accountable ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: cases will go, because they think that the other party will reach out to the presiding judicial officer. The Judiciary has become like the cattle market in Isiolo, where you have to give it to somebody to sell it on your behalf as you sit under a tree and wait for that person to bring you the money. Hon. Duale knows what I am talking about. He has been a cattle trader before he came to Parliament. He has been the chairman of the Cattle Development Association. That is how we met in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in 2007. ... view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Without losing my point, this Parliament is obligated to come… I am happy the Chairman of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee is here. We must come up with a mechanism to make the Judiciary of this country accountable to the people of Kenya. In every budget cycle, we give a lot of money as Parliament. With those few remarks, thank you so much. view
