• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes I want to contribute to this issue. There is one thing which is very important in this. It is about our health and somebody making money. There is nothing which is worth human being. The issue of Kenya Airways trying to take advantage of the planes which have stopped going to West Africa--- They expect them to carry passengers to various destinations. It is not what we want as country. We want to protect this country against a disease, which has no cure. It is very important for the Government--- Unfortunately, there is no Cabinet Secretary here who can ... view

• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is not an issue for debate; it is an issue for implementation. It is an issue to stop it immediately. When this disease is over then the Kenya Airways can fly to West Africa. You know we have security, defense and health agencies in this country. These people cannot do anything, and this is why we need to go for the referendum - so that these things can be addressed. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance. Fundamentally, I am opposing this Motion. I will give you my reasons. You know, we have a responsibility to protect the Constitution and to follow what the Finance Act says. I want to read the Second Schedule on conditional additional allocation to county governments. That is Page 10; how funds have been allocated by the Senate to various counties. It is better I read so that Members can understand the issues I am raising. You realize that Baringo, last year, had Kshs.382 million, but the amount has been reduced ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: pass it. We in the National Assembly have been assumed not to exist. Truly, if we pass this amount the way it is, then this National Assembly does not exist. It is just a rubber stamp. We must stand up to be counted as the National Assembly to protect the interests of all Kenyans. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we blame the President, but what do you do with those senators? Let me go through what I am saying – people are thinking that I am making a story. Homa Bay had Kshs1.6 billion and the amount that has been given ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: We cannot sit in the National Assembly and say that we want to pass this figure--- We have got a Budget and Appropriations Committee, which came up with this and said that they are passing it. I have a lot of respect to the Chair. But I find it not in order for us, as the National Assembly, to pass this the way it has been done by the Senate. That is why I am opposing it. As I go on, I know it is a conditional grant. But the reason for the conditional grant must be known. The money ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, this money is going to work in our constituencies and dispensaries. That is where the money is going - in the constituencies and counties. Therefore, I have looked at the Bill and I have found out that those are arbitrary figures. I do not know how the Budget and Appropriations Committee was convinced to bring it to this House for us to debate. There is no convincing reason at all on the criteria used. How do we pass it as the National Assembly? Let me look at it once again. Places like Nakuru, Nairobi, and Migori--- I have ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Whip and the Leader of Majority Party and they know that it is wrong. They should organize hon. Members. That is the problem I have. We are all the same. They should mobilize hon. Members to come to this House so that we can amend this Bill and have the correct thing. Therefore, with those few remarks, I oppose this Bill the way it is because it will not be right in the eyes of Kenyans if we pass this Bill. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. One thing I want to bring out is that there are very many contradictions in this Bill. Unless there are massive amendments in this Bill, it is going to be a source of 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
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: serious conflicts. The Bill does not recognize county governments. We know that county governments own property. Constitutionally, the county government is the owner of the county property. This Bill only recognizes the Cabinet Secretary. It does this through and through. It is as if we do not have devolved units in this country. We need to bring an amendment so that we incorporate the county governments which have the right to protect the natural resources in their localities. They must be given a say on the mining and revenue sharing. Unless this is addressed, the communities where the mining is ... view
