• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: If you look at the money for roads, the figure looks very good. A figure of Kshs102 billion has been given to roads. We did this last year. We gave almost similar figures. Nothing has happened. I am not sure whether we should sit here as the National Assembly and pass this when we know very well that whatever we are doing is not going to be attained. We are all aware that the revenue collection from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has gone down. Everybody is aware. Why can we not make a realistic Budget according to our income? ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I have gone through this. It is high time, as the National Assembly, we gave the Kenya Police Service their funds directly. They know where it hits them most. It is the shoe wearer who knows where it pinches. Giving money to the Office of the President and then it decides what to give to the police must come to an end. We see the houses in which the police stay and we see how they live. If you look at the money for development which they have been given - hopefully, it will go for housing - the item ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Police Service their money directly, so that they can account for it. They have the ability. All we need to do is change the Act if we have to. It is not fair. It is the same thing with the Prisons Department. Prisons is another department where we have got old bills. Somebody who supplied food to prisoners four or five years ago has not been paid. All this is very clear. Everybody knows it. The National Treasury knows that we have pending bills. It is high time as we approve ceilings we asked if they are realistic. If they ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I propose that we bring a Bill to have an amendment so that we get fully involved in the Budget-making process. We give funds where we know it is critical; where we know they are required; where we know the country will get the highest returns. This Budget Policy Statement which has been presented to us is not realistic because it is not going to be achieved. It is like we are lying to Kenyans. Kenyans want to be told the truth. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Wastage must come to an end. If it has to come to an end, it must start at the top; the Presidency. The amount of money that has been allocated to them, especially the Office of the Deputy President, should be reduced so that some of it can be allocated to the Prisons Department to build houses for prison warders. Take Kshs1 billion and add it to the Prisons Department so that we can do something that benefits Kenyans. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support, but I am afraid that as we pass this, it is a BPS which is not realistic and will not be achieved. So, it is high time as Parliament we did what we can. As a nation, we must be honest to each other and say that this is not attainable. If the Budget is Kshs1.3 billion, let it be so. We should live with the resources that we have. view

• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I totally concur with Hon. Chepkong’a. In the leadership structure, you are the Speaker of this House. Any decision you make is the decision of the Speaker of the National Assembly and not that of your advisers. It is not the decision of the Clerk of the National Assembly. For the hon. Member to make up a story that the President has not made a decision because of the Attorney-General, is very unfair. The decision rests with the President. He is the one who decides. The Attorney-General only gives an opinion. That is where it ends. ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance. I would like to refer you to Standing Order No.48. Fortunately, the Hon. Member is very conversant with clearing. He knows very well that a prepared export document is like money. It is logged at the KRA central system. When goods reach the other side, the system clearly shows that they have reached. The Report is not complete because Mumias Sugar Company is saying that they need time to investigate and provide evidence. Clearly, from the knowledge you have, they have the information which is not available. They need more time ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. Thank you Hon. Speaker--- view
