• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, if we were to go the way Senate has proposed, then it means that even with regard to water--- Water is provided by the national Government and county governments. This will mean that at the county level, we will also need a national Government officer to sit at the county. We will defeat the purpose of the Constitution in all this. I support the Chairlady. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Allow me to join my fellow hon. Members and make a small comment on the regulations. I would like to urge the Chairman and the Committee not to fall into the trap of activism. You may remember, hon. Speaker--- 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
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am raising a crucial matter. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to thank you very much for that intervention yesterday. Because of that intervention, I was very happy. Should you need anything else that requires voting within and without, I will be the chief agent. Issues of equalisation are dynamite to some of us and about 80 Members of Parliament seated here. Now that the Chairman has confirmed that he has the Regulations, I want him to further tell the House that he will involve the more than 80 Members of Parliament in terms of looking at those Regulations. Why I am saying that ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very important contribution by the Member. In line with that, some of us from the pastoralist communities, or what is referred to in the Constitution as marginalised areas, also had proposals for the Equalisation Fund. It was a back and forth situation between us and the Treasury. On the issue raised, where are the Regulations? We hear that there are some Regulations and Members were not consulted. Where are the Regulations for the Equalisation Fund? They have not been tabled or discussed. Members from the marginalised communities have not been given an ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by thanking the Committee. I particularly thank the Chairperson, a man I really respect and he has done a lot. I agree with Members that this is a policy direction which is very clear. It is not an Appropriation Bill which will be coming in April, so that we can amend it after looking at its content. My first contribution is on - I am asking the chairperson to listen carefully - the Equalisation Fund on page 28 of the Report. The Committee is in agreement that the Fund has not been operationalised ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: constantly on the rise and close to Kshs100, 000. I am suggesting that the Committee considers the proposals on free education recommended by the Kilemi Mwiria Report. Four, when I look at insecurity, it is something that has given us problems in this country, particularly where some of us come from – the pastoralist areas. We have been complaining and adjourning the business of the House to discuss the issue of insecurity. I remember last year we proposed amendments to the Police Service Act. We introduced Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs), and said that KPRs should be mainstreamed in the Act. ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I am glad that the issue of public hearings is coming in April when the Budget and Appropriations Bill comes to the House. However, let us get some reasoning. I would like the Chairman to hear where the bone of contention is. One, is the money for public hearings or is it for development projects? If you say it is for public hearing, for some of us who have done civic education that money is like for travelling here and there. But, according to the explanation we are getting it looks like the money has been allocated for development. ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Who are you allocating this money? Who will keep this money? It is terrible. If nothing happens we will move an amendment. We will agree with our brothers from the other side, we amend the law to take this money to the constituencies. If you take it to the constituencies, it will amount to Kshs10 million per constituency. If you take the money to Pokot, for example, it is a lot of money which can be used for a big project. Unless the Chairman of the Committee tells me that he is going to my constituency which means he cannot ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Some of us from marginalized communities are reading that this is entrenching marginalasation in this country through Parliament. Because if you do not go to my place, what happens? You want me to beg the Committee to go to my constituency for public participation? That will not happen. So, we need a proper policy. It is good the Committee has declared how we are going to use our money but we have an opportunity in April to scrutinize that and move the money to where it is required. We thank the Chairman and hope that he has heard. He is ... view
