• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I seek your indulgence. I am not very certain that that should be handled by my Committee. I listened very carefully although it was in Kiswahili. I understand Kiswahili fairly well. I used to be in Tanzania at some stage. The issue is not about the Kenya Ports Authority, but about labour and employment issues. That should be handled by the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, rather than the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. The issue is not about the KPA. It is about the welfare of the staff. I seek ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my voice to the deliberations on this very important Motion which is the Budget 2021/2022. On behalf of my Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, we also extend our appreciation and thanks to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The reason being we had very good negotiations together as a Committee and we agreed on most of the things. We join other colleagues and Members of this House who reiterated that this is the House of budget-making. We are not a conveyor belt. We scrutinise for the purposes ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Therefore, together with them and the ministry, we processed the Department of Rail Programme which is Kenya Railways and we are proposing to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and to this House to approve for them Kshs34 billion. Further, for marine transport which is KPA, we are proposing that this House agrees with us to approve Kshs23 billion to them. Finally, NTSA which was taken to the Department of Security but in terms of functions in accordance with Standing Order No. 216 they are with us, we are proposing that this House agrees with us that we approve Kshs2.725 billion ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: entire Financial Year, from July this year to June next year. We are only approving a meagre Kshs 30 billion. As if that is not enough, by the time we will be approving that budget, perhaps, next week on Tuesday, we would have accumulated and concluded what we are going to approve. It means, therefore, that the entire department will lack resources from the time they are supposed to begin spending these resources - there is a crisis in roads. I want to say this in confidence even as I represent Members of this Parliament, that there will be a ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: to build our roads then we can maintain them using the normal budget. Why do we have roads being built for 20 years? Why do we not get a bond, build roads and enjoy today, then we can pay slowly for those 20 years using our fuel levy and maintain using the budget? We suggested that and Hon. Members agreed that KRB floats that bond. Security is the fuel levy. Two, we also proposed as Committee that we can also securitize using Annuity Fund which this House created. Annuity Fund is the investment portfolio that supplies the return on your ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate your good gesture to me which I extended to the schoolchildren. If everybody hears that, the 200 Hon. Members will ask for additional roads or roads to be expanded rather than giving a statement. However, I will take two weeks to get the answer. Now that Hon. Tobiko is here, who is an able Member of my Committee, we will help each other to prosecute that matter towards achieving either an additional lane or another road being constructed. It is true there is a problem. I have heard it and I will deliver the ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Pokot South and BBI coordinator West Pokot, I vote yes. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank my colleague for that very fundamental request. Realistically, I can bring the Statement in a week, without anticipating what happens. The message will be received by the Ministry within the next two or three hours. I am very certain that action will be taken after the message is received. 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 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to respond to three Statements. At the outset, the Cabinet Secretary responded to the Statements yesterday. However, let me summarise for the purpose of the House. Before the Hon. Members, I am the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The first Statement was from Hon. Oundo who is the Member for Funyula. He brought a Statement on border point and a road. That Statement was responded to satisfactorily. We, as a Committee, intervened because Hon. Oundo wanted a road and a border point to be gazetted which is not within the purview of the Committee. It is the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. We advocated for the people of Funyula Constituency to get a road and the Ministry committed to deliver it which was very good. view
