• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: we are creating red sinkers. I do not think that is what we should do because it is against the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Members need to go through this Bill. Let us not pass this Bill the way it is. Let us have it amended. There is a monster here called the “CS”. Everything in here is “CS”. What is it that we are doing as a House? As far as I am concerned, the Bill is good, but we need major amendments so that the powers of the Cabinet Secretary are minimized. We need to ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks and with major amendments, I will support the Bill. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I support it fully because we have a constitutional obligation to work together as the Senate and the National Assembly. More importantly, we have an obligation to serve this country. I have gone through what we passed as the National Assembly and I have also seen what the Senate said. It is not about who is right or who is wrong. It is what we need to do for this country. We need to pass this Budget, so that the county governments can start their ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: pass the relevant law even if cautionary measures are required. There are some sections which we can pass. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this report but I also support the allocation of funds to county governments. Let them misuse them and we follow them there. We know who they are. It is easier to know the guys who are misusing our funds at the county level than at the National Assembly. We will know as they do it because we know this is my brother or cousin, for example in Kisii County. Let us give them all the ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have talked about Level 5 hospitals. It pains that we have reduced the money for those hospitals. I come from Kisii County and the Level 5 hospital serves beyond Kisii County. It serves people from Migori County; it serves people from Kisumu County and it serves people from Kilgoris. So, it is unfortunate that as at this level we can say that it belongs to a county. It is like a national school. We have national schools in this country which are funded. They are given money because we know the kids across this country. ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is nothing out of order. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I cannot expect that to come from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, of all the people, because he is in the picture that the funds in last financial year--- There is a report which has been tabled by the Auditor-General showing that funds were transferred from the Ministry in charge of Administration Police to the NIS and probably to him, we do not know. I am so shocked because he knows this. The records are there to show; there is nothing to substantiate. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as we move on, the point I was making is that as we do this Budget process, let us not be treated like kids. Where we have approved funds for specific functions or to Ministries and then money is transferred to other departments, this House will be a laughing stock. That is not why we are here. I know the Chairman is serious; he means well for this country. The Members here are serious about it except the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance who is not sure of what he is doing. view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. As we go through this process let me hope that we are not engaged in a ritual. Let me hope that as we start this process the Budget implementation is going to be actualised. view
