• 12 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: people are walking free and because they have more money, they will hire lawyers; they will hire justice; they will hire the system and they will be let free. So, let Parliament take this issue but, as a nation, let us not sleep. Young people who have started businesses and small businessmen were banking with Chase Bank, which has gone under with the depositors’ money. They were inducing people with slightly low interest rates which other markets were not offering. They were taking money from individuals. Let Parliament be very decisive. The number of days should be reduced to 30, ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very serious matter. We are going on recess as Parliament. At the moment as we sit, this money is meant for bursary. There are projects which are pending. Normally, with the Attorney-General, Bills queue and ours is on the queue. For it to be fast-tracked, the House leadership on both sides of the House, can go today to the Attorney-General and the Government Printer so that we can get it out. That is the only way we can move forward. We need these things to be implemented immediately. Thank you. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I support it because I am in CORD. If I were in Jubilee, I would request for this Bill to be withdrawn. When you go through it --- view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have gone through this Bill and seen the projects and the activities that are going to be carried out with the revenue are totally misallocated. You are aware that Members of Parliament do not have money for roads. The national Government has not given any money to county governments for roads. So, in terms of accessibility and in the development of roads in this coming Financial Year, the money available for those activities is substantially reduced. What does that imply to us? It means that in The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: agricultural areas where people are growing wheat, maize - I come from Kisii which is hilly - people will not be able to move to the market places. I thought that roads should have been given priority in the allocation of funds. Of course, we are hearing high sounding words of setting up intensive care units in district hospitals while we know very well that the equipment has been bought but there is no space or buildings to house the equipment. We have no manpower, we have no doctors and specialised people to run the X-rays machines. In a district ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: police and defence forces need vehicles, helicopters and all that, but this money should be manned by the police. It should not be manned by the Office of the President (OP). The Office of the Inspector General of Police (IG) is an independent institution. It should be made to run this money alone, through the commission. That is so that he is able to get what he needs most because he is the Accounting Officer. Most of the people who manage this money do not understand the issues an ordinary policeman faces. That is why you find a policeman with ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Sorry for the remarks, but the Hon. Members of the National Assembly in Jubilee should analyse this--- view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: My apologies. I meant Hon. Members of Parliament (MPs). view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. There is an issue I want to raise. What is printed here says: “shall not exceed three months from 31st December 2015.” Are we debating something which is valid in this National Assembly? What has been stated here has actually passed. I am reading what it says. The Bill says:- “Shall not exceed three months from 31st December 2015.” Unless I have a different Bill, that needs to be corrected. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: What you are saying is not written here. We have to go by what is written in the Bill. What you are talking about is probably what you discussed in the Committee. I am reading what is in the Bill. I am guided by what is there. The Bill is very clear. So, it is up to the Committee which has done this Bill to see what they have come up with. Again, on that issue of Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, we cannot, as Parliament and as a Committee, do a memorandum subjecting ourselves to a specific person. view
