• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in every financial year, like the current one, we talk of increasing resources and making it possible for the Government to curb the problems that we have. I want to suggest to the people who decide how much money goes where--- I have in mind the Ministry of Finance. This Ministry asked for Kshs1.7 billion to, perhaps, recruit up to 3,500 regular police officers, and about 6,000 Administration Police officers but it was given nothing. What do they see happening every day? We do not really understand the criteria on which financing is based. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: We propose that in the coming Supplementary Budget, we should request the Ministry concerned to critically look into the possibility of giving additional monies to this Ministry, so that we can recruit more officers. We have created so many districts. I view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make a few contributions towards this important Motion which was moved by my brother, Mr. Wamalwa. I start by thanking Mr. Wamalwa for this well thought out Motion in respect to our retirees or senior citizens who have made their contributions to this country in serving so diligently. As we read the Motion, I wanted initially to propose an amendment to the Motion because looking at the first paragraph where it says that “in view of the suffering occasioned by the Retirement Benefits law to employees by prohibiting ... view

• 18 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Vote of the Ministry of Finance. I have the following observations to make. That being a very crucial Ministry that oversees the operations or the release of funds to other Ministry to fund various projects, it is very important that those funds that you collect and allocate to various functions in the development of the country should be released as soon as it is practically possible. In the past, a lot of money has been returned to the Treasury at the end of every financial year. ... view
• 13 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a huge amount of money that keeps going to the banks. It does not attract any interest. Why can we not charge interest yet the banks are trading with it for a long time? view
• 12 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is timely because it is addressing a very pertinent issue of development of our country. We have already understood that about 80 per cent of our country falls within the ASAL. This is represented by the Ministry of State for the Development of Northern Kenya and other Arid Lands. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we talk of 80 per cent of the country being underdeveloped, one would wonder where we lost sight and only concentrated on only a small fraction of the country. Explanations have been given to the effect that allocation ... view
• 6 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, taking into account the fact that there are so many problems affecting our people and money is budgeted to solve those problems; the Minister has given blanket unspecific answers to very specific questions. How much was was returned unspent in a specific year? We expect the Minister to give us those definite figures and which projects were intended to be funded.
