• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I reply to this Motion, I thank the honourable Members who have taken their time this evening to contribute to this important Report. I am also happy that the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock is also in the House because with the issues raised by the Members of the Committee, including the Majority Whip, he will have a lot of interest in this Fund. Even as we dismantle AFFA, we will be able to protect the Fund and ensure that it is able to move. The electronic version of ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I hope the Committee will be able to help the Commodities Fund sort out the issues it has with AFFA, especially the Kshs4 billion which AFFA collected and has so far not handed over to the Commodities Fund. As I mentioned while I was moving the Report, we will ensure that also we look into the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 financial years so that we help this Fund move smoothly. It is not that my Committee has not been able to do that. The issue is that those reports have not been brought before the Committee. We will be able to ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the Members and still give my commitment as the Chair of the Special Funds Account Committee that we shall not only oversee Commodities Fund but also others. Before Special Funds Account Committee came into being, all these Funds were under the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which was overwhelmed by their work. Therefore, we shall ensure that we look into all the Funds that are in our Committee between now and 2021, so that we can also leave some legacy as Special Funds Account Committee. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to reply. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority is my good friend and my senior in politics, but the debate he is canvassing in this House is not before the House. Actually, it is my first time to learn that there are signatures being collected. But honestly, because we have a lot of business to transact, I do not think it is necessary to dwell on issues that are not before the House. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we pass this, I commend Hon. Kioni for working hard on Article 100 of the Constitution. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Special Funds Account, you know we examine audited accounts of all those affirmative funds. Those are the funds actually directly involved with 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
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: women. To my surprise, especially on the Uwezo Fund, when I spoke here last week, I said County Women Representatives are co-patrons with Members of Parliament but, that is the Fund that is going down. Since they want to be supported by men and the State, they should be responsible for that Fund because it is not helping women. I am surprised they want to be supported. They cry every day. They go and cry to the BBI. The other day, they were doing the Women International Day, but they are not doing anything to ensure that, that Fund is ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: That is because there is no coordination between women Members of Parliament and the County Women Representatives. There is no correlation. It is not there absolutely. I want them to take up that task to ensure that, in the next financial year, let us see a lot of money from Uwezo Fund and the Women Enterprise Fund empowering women in the rural areas. So far, nothing is happening. Even if you ask them how the Women Enterprise Fund is performing, only ten out of 47 will tell you how the Women Enterprise Fund and Uwezo Fund are performing. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if they want to be active representing women, let them be active empowering them with what the State has provided. I thank you. view
