• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Distribution of resources will start with the services that will be provided by these appointees. If these appointees are appointed from one side of the county, then we will have skewed distribution of resources. So, while considering this Bill, it is important to appreciate that political leadership suffers from the temptation of skewed distribution of resources. There should be a feedback process. We should prescribe a feedback process where at the middle or end of every year, we can have feedback which tells us the number of people from Shinyalu, Ikolomani, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Butere and Malaba constituencies who have participated. We will then go on that way and have this feedback published. That way, we can see whether the public appointees that have been appointed to specific counties have served the citizens of that county equitably. With those considerations, I support this Bill. I am looking forward to a time when we will go through every aspect of the Bill with a tooth comb. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we achieve a lot through the work that we undertake through Committees. Indeed, the Constitution of Kenya allows for public participation and has given us the mandate and responsibility to represent our people. As we represent them, it is only good that we speak for them. This afternoon, I feel a little disappointed that we have not given a lot of attention to this Motion. I wish to support the Motion on the reappointment of the Members of the Committee for the work that they have to do. To the coalitions in this House, it is ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Kenyans in the various Committees. We have a mix of talents which we need to maximise to serve Kenyans. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Second Supplementary Estimates are laid in the House. First of all, we should not be dealing with the Second Supplementary, we should be dealing with a singular Supplementary Estimate once. This shows that there is bad planning at the Executive. It also shows that there could be a strategy. If they are really planning well, it could be a strategy to ambush us with figures and Motions that will make us participate in bad management of public resources. As we approve this, it should be very clear to the Executive that we are a ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Nevertheless, I would like to support the Second Supplementary Estimates, especially in so far as payment of teachers’ pension is concerned. For a long time, through the relevant committee and through our submissions here we pleaded for payment of these Kenyans who have--- view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate that I have had opportunity to teach at Precious Blood. Welcome to the National Assembly. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the teachers who have retired and have not been paid for a long time are Kenyans who have made tremendous and fundamental contribution to our development as a nation. We should not delay their payments. We should not do a lot of debates before they are paid. How I wish through this Second Supplementary Estimates that both cases of teachers who have not been paid, can be paid directly through the Pensions Department. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, while dealing with this, we need to recognise that many of these delays are caused by low absorption which is as a result of delayed disbursement of funds by the National Treasury. On the same breath, the National Treasury needs to come up with a strategy to fast-track disbursement of these funds. While we understand that many of the figures are monies that have already been expended, the Supplementary Estimates should have been requested for within two months. The ball is with the National Treasury. We can only be convinced further if proper planning or a strategy ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Bad planning can result in kickbacks and corruption which is now synonymous with the Jubilee Government. This needs to be stopped. Next time a report of second Supplementary Estimates is brought here, we should reject it. For this first instance, let us be sympathetic but let us not be sympathetic all the time. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for protecting me. My friend knows that when you see people delay procurement and delay to utilise money many of them will be waiting for an opportunity to steal that money or receive kickbacks before they give work.
