• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I am not very proud that I rose on a point of order because then that brought me down on your list of preference. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Listening to Hon. Pkosing argue his case, I am very proud. Before, we used to think that transport and infrastructure was the domain of Hon. Maina Kamanda, but now it is clear that even in Pokot, there are men and women who can shine as chairmen of committees. I am proud that I once served as his lawyer at the International Criminal Court (ICC). These are accolades which do not come easy because ICC does not come every year. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Having said that, I do not want to get into politics because we are now in the business of this House. I am not very happy that Members are not here when we are now doing what brings us here. Everything we have handled since we came this afternoon were issues, but this is the business of the House. Even if it is for record, I need to say this thing that is being bandied about and we are being bullied that there is some development of 9,000 and 10,000 kilometres of road. If I put the Chairman to substantiate, ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: The Member is old enough to know that he cannot give me information if I have not requested for it. So, let me just go on and say that this is a very good Bill which we need to support. However, we need to do a lot of research. We need to look at this Bill in and out, so that the results that come out of it will be something that will serve us for posterity. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I have a few comments which I need to make. It is good to allow some of us who are not in the Committee to make comments. Members who are in the Committee are versed with these facts. They will discuss them all the time. Those of us who are not in the Committee should be given the first opportunity to look through the Bill. If I just ran through it in a cursory way, I will look at pages 15 and13. This is Clause 12 and others. It is calling for the establishment of the authorities, which is good. ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: passes Nairobi here, there are a lot of things it can do. There are a lot of people who have billboards and advertise here. These are the things which people use to make big money in modern development. However, when they reach the urban centres, they cede those powers to the counties. So, it is the counties that draw levies and make money and yet KeNHA own those roads. In Clause 12 as well as another clause which is towards the end, we need to innovatively give these people an opportunity to raise revenue and maintain the roads. In fact, ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: In the subsequent clause towards the end, it is saying that counties will have authority over the national trunk roads. I think that is a wrong concept. There must be an arrangement between the county and the national roads, so that we make money out of these things. We need that money for the maintenance of the roads and to raise the levies. There is something which the Chairman has just said which is on Clause 14. I beg to differ. In fact, I was one of the Members who underlined Clause 14(2)(f)(iii). I am asking what law has to ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Time is too short nowadays. I do not know what happens. Maybe we have too much to say. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, give me a few more minutes to explain that private sector is an important component in today’s business world. You have to think of a way. If you want to bring a university or some other organisation, that is all right. However, do not say that you will remove these people and then allow the Government to appoint others. It has already brought four people in the board. The CS will bring another two people. You only have ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I did some research. view
