• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Of the five names which were brought to this House last year, only two names had issues and the Committee on Education, Research and Technology knows that. When we were debating that report, those issues were clearly articulated by Members of this House. Now, why can they not look at these three commissioners and add two more and then this exercise can proceed? view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. From the outset, I support this Budget Policy Statement (BPS). I also take this opportunity to thank the Committee for a job well done. I would like to support this BPS because, first, most of our counties are under-developed. I want to also thank the Government for appropriating more than Kshs40 billion on top of what they gave to the counties last year; this is a show of commitment to devolution. However, what should be checked in this country is the Government expenditure, especially having an efficient supply chain management. When ... view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: them do not have the relevant skills. We have many youths idling, but with the revamping of the polytechnics, it is a clear that they will get skills in areas like masonry and carpentry; they will then start their workshops and become productive. Another thing which is of important is the Kshs3.74 billion, which has been allocated to our Level Five Hospitals. Most of our people are in problems because of the lifestyle diseases. We need our Level Five Hospitals to be equipped to cater for cancer and other complications like kidney problems. Using this allocation, most of our hospitals ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would also like to echo my sentiments on this issue because today is the second day in the last two weeks when the conduct of Departmental Committee Chairpersons is being discussed in this House. This is really hurting to some of the Members of this House and to Kenyans in general. Chairpersons of Departmental Committees have offices in the Executive. The Jubilee Government is unable to implement projects due to this confusion. It is in the public domain that the Standard Gauge Railway Project is still stalled. The Laptop Project is also still stalled because ... view

• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am guided but if this matter falls under the docket of the Party leadership, let it be sorted out once and for all because as Committee Members, we are very tired. Kenyans are very tired because some of the matters pending before this House are delaying projects that Kenyans should now be enjoying. It is unfortunate that even some Members of the Committees discussing those issues are calling press conferences to discuss how they will impeach some of the Cabinet Secretaries. The Committees are still in discussion of the Cabinet Secretaries they are talking about. They have ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving your “solomonic” advice. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill as moved by hon. Lati. In most of those marginalized areas, we have vast resources. The perennial problem that we have in those areas is lack of water, roads, electricity and health facilities. It is worth noting that a county like Turkana is doing a lot of farming now, courtesy of the water that has been availed there by some NGOs. So, this Bill will have an effect of reaching the marginalized constituencies unlike the initial period when it was to reach the counties. Most of the constituencies in this ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a public petition by the residents of South Imenti Constituency and tea farmers on the declining tea prices and the effects of the advalorem levy. view
