• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I have the reasons for doing so. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this will give room for wheeler-dealers to come into the market. When there is an open tender – and I want to give the case of Hazina Towers, which is a living example - the procuring entity can sit with the wheeler-dealers and come up with certain technical specifications which no other bidder will be able to meet, except one person. So, it is a dangerous move if we pass this. If we pass it, it means that the people who have interest will determine how that document is ... view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to support the nominees of the President. More importantly, I want to talk about the Chairman, Mr. Mohammed Nyaoga because he is somebody I have known. I was with him at the University. I had a petition and he was my lawyer. He is a man you can trust. I will tell you one thing. When I had a petition, we did not sign an agreement of how much I was going to pay him. He told me what I was going to pay him and that is what ... view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: General of this country. So, if the Governor of the CBK says that this country has a mismatch on our national debt vis-à-vis what we are doing, and then he comes up with policies, we should support him. There is one issue which I do not understand. When the currency is depreciating it is depreciating. However, we are supposed to get inflows from the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) that we are building. If we are to get inflows, the inflows are supposed to strengthen the shilling. I am not sure whether the inflows which were promised to come ever came. ... view

• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. First and foremost, I want to say I support it, but you know this House participated in forming a Mediation Committee. To me the Mediation Committee is normally formed for an ordinary Bill. It does not talk about the Finance Bill or the Money Bill. Therefore, in the first place, it was not right for us to agree to form a Mediation Committee, because the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya is very clear. It has given the National Assembly the mandate and that we should ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Another issue that I want to raise is that I support to give more money to the county governments and the Level 5 hospitals. For sure, when you are on the ground, you will see how patients suffer. There are no medicines and doctors in the hospitals; the big issue here is not corruption. Yes, I know corruption is there, but let us not use it as an excuse not to give them funds. Therefore, I support more allocation of funds to go to the county governments, because the issue of corruption is an institutional issue, which will be sorted ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: him. We are in a very difficult situation and the Constitution is very clear that it is our role and they should respect it. Any role they are supposed to play, let us give them a chance play. Nevertheless, for the sake of this country, it is good as National Assembly we accept the mediation process. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you know you can do Form Four examinations and pass and then you think you are very bright and repeat. You know you will compete with everybody else and you must accept the grade you will get. As the National Assembly, we have put ourselves in this situation; so, let us pass this mediated Bill because it has been agreed upon by our group. Unfortunately, if you form a mediation group they come up with a decision, which we must live with, as the National Assembly. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: So, I support that more funds go to the counties because that is good for us and the hospitals. I come from Kisii County, and if you go to hospitals, you will see how people are suffering there, as there is no medicine in dispensaries and sub-county hospitals. It is an issue of management, which will be sorted out as time goes by. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Motion. Members, let us support it for the sake of the country governments, not that we are against the Senators or anybody else, we are the champions of devolution. The last Parliament passed the new Constitution and we did not have the Senate then. view
