In trying to balance the country in terms of different interests, personal interests, farmers--- For us from the pastoralists’ communities, and particularly from warring communities like where I come from, the Pokot and Turkanas, the people who help us a lot are the village managers. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: At home we know them as Mukasas, these are the people at the lowest level of administration. In fact, where we come from they are the ones who are used to communicate because sometimes there is no telephone network. They are the ones who know how to follow the footprints of a cow when it gets lost and also footprints of a thief. Sometimes the Pokot and Turkanas wear their shoes with the front facing backwards so that you do not trace them when they steal your cows. It is these wazees or these people, who know whether this guy ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, there is now a competition to bridge the gap between the national Government and the county governments. County governments are doing a lot of recruiting of administrators. We are advising the committee to look at it this way, that this is a point where the national 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
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Government can strengthen itself and its presence at the grassroots level through these people. My proposal going forward is that for this petition to have meaning, the committee should look at it, and, maybe, introduce an amendment to the National Government Co-ordination Act, so that we can anchor these people properly. This is because a petition only cannot really make much of a difference and will actually take most of our time. I am looking at the petition as an introduction of a Bill to amend the National Government Co-ordination Act to anchor Mukasas properly. view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I also want to remind the committee there is something we passed here which is related to what we are discussing now through this petition. We passed an amendment on the people who were previously called Kenya Police Reservists (KPR); now the term has been changed to become “National Police Reservists (NPR)”. These are the people who work together with Mukasas, or these village managers; they are the implementers of the decisions of the village managers. We passed a law here as an amendment and nothing has happened in terms of remunerating these people. The committee should take this ... view

• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution and specifically support the Motion as amended. Today, the country will know that the National Assembly is for them. It is also today, in my opinion, that the counties will know that we are for them. As we support this Motion, I would like to seek some clarification a bit from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. They have done a great job but we would like them to make some clarifications. That is particularly on page 3 of the report and on the amendment. They are saying ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: wisdom. How can they give us a burden of Kshs3.3 billion and decide to go for recess? Who was supposed to solve this problem? Who are they leaving this problem for? Therefore, we have reduced their budget and we will support that. Next year, we will not agree to give people money to do campaigns. Oversight is not done individually. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. I cannot wake up one morning as hon. Pkosing, the Member for Pokot South, and call the Cabinet Secretary for Defence. I will not do that. This ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, allow me to agree with the Chairperson of the Committee. If we allow the Council of Governors to come in then, they have no business. In my understanding, NEMA is like a national Government company. So, if the national Government has designed in the implementation of its own mandate and services that it implements through NEMA, then they have no need. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, if you look at Article 186(2) of the Constitution, it will tell you very clearly that if there are roles which the national Government and the county government are doing, then each government can actually implement it their own way. If that is the case, we do not see the reason why we should include county governments in this one. view
