• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my own behalf and that of my family and the people of Mukurweini, I would like to send condolences to Hon. Otuoma’s family. The young man was my friend. I had an occasion to visit them at their home. We used to popularly call him “Junior”. He was very jovial and very bright just like the mother and the father. It is very sad to have lost him at that very tender age. His dad was my senior. He was my Minister when we were serving together in the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion on the appointment of Julius Ayub Githiri. I had occasion, nearly a decade ago, to interact with that gentleman in Mukurweini. He had a hospitality investment and he displayed humility. He is a person who is dedicated to relationships. Lt. Co. (Rtd.) Julius Ayub Githiri left a mark among the people of Mukurweini at Wajee Nature Camp because of his serious dedication to conservation and for his serious commitment to interactive engagement with professionals, particularly in the security sector. I remember the particular period when he worked around the County ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: going to invest more in Mombasa in terms of the rehabilitation of the youth. He is actually engaging both the county government and the national Government security officers on the ground. If there is something that the President is appreciated for within the Mt. Kenya region where I come from, then it is his singular directive to mobilise his troops. He engaged Members of Parliament to go on the ground and work with the MCAs, the County Commissioners, the Deputy County Commissioners, the chiefs and assistant chiefs in order to deal with the question of illicit brew and dangerous drugs. ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. Our Chairman has very ably elaborated the reasoning and justification on why we made the conclusion. The delegation from the Senate was very elaborate and passionate about the need to initiate this financing. As it were, if any section of any established law or the Constitution is violated or not adhered to, then it simply means that the Committee on Delegated Legislation, whatever other interests or intentions, cannot make a recommendation that will run contrary either to the Constitution or subsidiary legislations. That is our mandate. That is ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: dispensable regulation such that because of the need and the justification by the requesting authority or agency that we can dispense with this. The CS is obliged by established law to demonstrate and, therefore, this is to validate the activities of the proposed public fund in the overall medium-term and the Budget Policy Statement. This is not the case and, therefore, it runs counter. As the chairman said, the Committee observed that the making of the Regulations did not adhere to the requirements of the Public Finance Management Regulations, 2015. The Committee further observed that Section 13(a) of the Statutory ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The ODM Chairman has a particular gravitas around there which is not in tandem with the proceedings in the House. That reality is there. Apart from what is captured in this Report, we had lengthy, friendly, very solid and detailed discussions with the delegation from the Senate led by the Deputy Speaker of the Senate and a veteran of this Parliament, Hon. Kiraitu Murungi, and we agreed that there are those challenges and they need to be reviewed. Going forward, we should consider making constitutional amendments that will allow the Senate to have a greater role. No wonder you see ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: realities of the country. Even if we were to pass the regulations, it would mean that we are just budgeting and financing for the Senate to work at the tail end, not at the beginning. They are going to deal with questions of 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 Financial Years. And around March or April of the coming year, I am talking about barely four months to go, everybody in elected position in this country will be back to the trenches in the backyard seeking renewal of their mandate or contesting for a different seat. In the next Parliament, we ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that was moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. Before I do so, I want to dedicate my brief remarks to the students and teachers from 70 primary schools in Mukurweini, who are sufficiently represented here by the Class Eight 2016 pupils from my constituency, and have the privilege of being in this House at a time when the substantive Speaker, Hon. Justin Muturi, is presiding. Everywhere we go, to public events or institutions, whether organised or ad hoc, we ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: tragedy and misfortune of our times is that those who are in the music industry and who are producing music and productions that entertain us in all our lifestyles, lead very desolate and frustrated lives because their productions are not equal to the income they get. I was very gratified about 24 hours ago, when His Excellency the President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, made a pronouncement that the bytes that are used, even on our telephones, should be compensated sufficiently in order to enable the talented individuals who creatively produce get compensation that will stabilise their income. The other implication is ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there was a lot of animated and unnecessary loud consultations between Hon. Naomi Shaban and the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives, Kareke Mbiuki. They are talking about the collapse of KANU. I could not follow what was going on. view
