• 10 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: areas. The Government is already aware of this. There are Government representatives in every county, sub-county and location. The Government should wake up and do the necessary for the people to be safe. In parts of Samburu, the situation is worse. Even CS Dr. Matiang’i went to Laikipia, but to my surprise, the same Government destroys the economic livelihoods of our people. Livestock are being killed. The Government does not understand that there is a problem. We want to urge the Government to understand that there is a serious problem they have to solve, and not killing livestock of pastoralists. ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this amendment. As others have said, there is nothing the amendment remedies in the CPSB. The drafters of this amendment seem to be confused between the board members and the employees of county governments. In the county government, we have the human resource department headed by a human resource manager dealing with employees. There is no need to have the qualification of the chair of the board in the area of human resource because we already have a human resource manager at the county. Any degree holder can chair the ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: be sourcing for a specific person. We will reject this, so that we do not lock out other Kenyans from this competitive opportunity in the county. The secretary to the board needs to have certain skills and qualifications. However, it has just been left open and yet the chairman can only be there during employment sessions. If you look at other boards, the best practice is that we have the board at governance level and the employees at administrative level, and we should not mix those two. Therefore, it is wrong to assume that the chairman will manage the employees ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to say I support this Report. As my colleagues have said, the Equalisation Fund is provided for by the Constitution. This is a Fund that has never served the purpose it was intended for. I think time has come for these regulations to be implemented so that the areas in this country which are marginalised can start using the money. There are parts of this country where tarmac roads are just history. There is no electricity, water and dispensaries. I think poverty is not the same as marginalisation. This Equalisation Fund will ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: All places in this country need to be served. This money will help us, although we have wasted 11 years. The Committee should bring a Motion for extension so that we recover the time which has been lost. There is so much funds that have not been used. Even for the disbursed funds, projects are not complete. We will complete these projects when these regulations come into effect. With that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Report. This is a very important well researched Report. It is really bad if KRA is not supported with what they need so that they help the country. What the Committee found out is that KRA cannot perform to get money to pay the debts and what we borrow from outside because it is not well funded. If all the borders can be manned, this country can support its budget. The Committee researched and found out that and Members have said that it has been like that. It ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Report so that we can see what they had earlier and compare it with this one. Implementation is very important so that we do not come here again and say that KRA staff do not have houses and scanners. That is really a very bad thing if we cannot implement it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on the same Statement to talk about Hon. Job Lalampaa. Two days ago, we lost Hon. Lalampaa, who was a Member of this House for three terms. He was a leader in our community and a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Report. This Report is very important to this House. Many people do not understand what we do just as my colleagues have said. If you look at what we are doing at our constituencies, when those young guys post what Members of Parliament are doing, people really appreciate what we are doing. It seems that so many Kenyans do not understand the work of a Member of Parliament. That is why we are suffering. It is because they lack information and yet information is power. The nation will come to appreciate ... view
