• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what has happened is that in the last Budget over Kshs60 per cent of--- view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I believe you will give me my lost time to contribute because he has taken more than three minutes of my time. I support this Bill; the point I want to raise is that this looks a very ambitious Budget, given the past performance and how funds have been used.

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the major point here is that for this country to grow and move forward, there must be investment in security. Secondly, there must be investment in agriculture and lastly there must be investment in infrastructure. Those are three areas. If we put all our money there this country will be able to move forward. I see in the allocations a substantial amount of money has been given to the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government. Equally a substantial amount of money has been given to the National Intelligence Service (NIS); it is Kshs17 billion. ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: When I look at the Prisons Department they have been given very little money, yet they provide very crucial service to this country. I have also gone through it and looked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is also supposed to promote trade outside, so that we are able to grow our exports and earn foreign exchange. They have given it Kshs9 billion; obviously they will still come for Supplementary Estimates. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, these are the kind of issues that the National Treasury and the Budget and Appropriation Committee should address, so that we do not come back. I have also looked at the Ministry of East Africa Community. They have been given Kshs1 billion, which is very little money, yet 50 per cent of our exports today go to the East African region. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: So, in terms of priorities it has not been done clearly and properly. I am happy that a lot of money has been allocated to infrastructure; this is good but the issue here is, are we going to have the same experience we had last year where money was returned and reallocated for Recurrent Expenditure? This is an trend which we must guard against. I think the only money which is properly used is that in the CDF. I am happy with the allocation. If you go to your homes today you will be shown projects done by the CDF. ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we do the Budget here but what amuses me is that when the President goes visiting areas Members of Parliament line up to ask him for development projects. I find it outrageous because the Government has allocated the funds. Allocation is done by this House and no other body, yet when the President goes to your areas you start bothering him with requests for projects. Surely how will he do those projects when money must be voted by this House? I urge the Members of this House to stop nagging the President when he tours the ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Let us change our thinking as elected leaders. We need to help the people. We need to tell our people that the President does not give you development projects as they are approved in the National Assembly. They are not approved anywhere else. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is another thing we need to note as Members of Parliament. We sit here and allocate money to roads. If the President comes to your constituency, or your county, where does he get money from to give you when Parliament has approved all the money here? So, we need to change as ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: requests which are unreasonable and which should not be made by us, as people who do the Budget in this House. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is an issue here which Members are supporting, but I am not supporting it. I support the railway project but it is taking Kshs447 billion and our national Budget is Kshs1.8 trillion. It is like somebody who is going to borrow money to start a project which cannot pay back. People have said that it is going to be cheap. How is it going to be cheap to construct the railway line when you have not gotten any input from the users? The shipping industry players, importers and transporters have not been asked to give ... view
