• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Mbadi, I am contributing on the Budget allocations. All the time, you interrupt me. You are on my side. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are things we should look into in order for this country to move forward. We are allocating funds for various projects, including the Constituencies Development Fund, which is a landmark Fund. I managed to get my second term in Parliament because of the CDF. Therefore, I really value the CDF. As we move on, out of the funds that have been allocated for infrastructure, let us know how much money has gone to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA). In the last financial year, my constituency got Kshs15 million only. So, let us know how ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another thing I want to comment on is the Euro Bond. As Kenyans, we must appreciate that, despite our noise and quarrels, international investors have confidence in this country. That is very important for us to note. Even the cost at which this bond was floated is excellent. Personally, I was not sure about the viability of the Euro Bond but I can now say that, as politicians, we need to change our attitudes and support this country development. At the end of our term, we shall be accountable to voters. They will want to know ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to support this Motion. When you look at what is happening, the National Treasury is taking this House for a ride. We cannot sit here to do a Supplementary Budget and then after two months they bring another one. I have gone through the information on Recurrent Expenditure. I realize that the IEBC has been given Kshs1billion extra. I do not understand why. The money that was given to them for a registration exercise in the branches has not been used. What is it that we are doing? We have four ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: 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
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I want to be very specific and refer to the money allocated for roads. I was a Member of Parliament in the last Parliament and I got around Kshs.29 million for the roads in my constituency. That money has assisted me to do some work on the roads. This Financial Year, I have been given Kshs.15 million as all other Members of Parliament. I believe there are some constituencies which are bigger than mine. Hon. Members, I want us to think properly, if we increase the budget of National Assembly; on the ground where you come from, you have less ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: What I have said here is that the National Assembly has increased the overall Budget for the country. When we increase--- view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: As we do so, the National Budget is increasing every year. That is the point I am putting across and if it increases every year, we should expect more money going to do roads, building dispensaries, providing water and building schools. That is the purpose of having the budget increase every year. We should expect the cost of living of the ordinary person to improve. If that does not happen then there is something wrong with the Budget. The first issue is overestimation on revenue collection. You find that at the end of the year, Ministries do not get funds. ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: its work, we realize that there is a big challenge that is affecting the ordinary person at home. It is our responsibility as Members of this National Assembly to work for the welfare of our people. Another issue that I wanted to raise is, when you look around this Budget, we are increasing the amount; collection is increasing but the direct benefit coming to the ordinary person is not there. So, there is a problem here that needs to be addressed. Another issue that Members have said is about procurement. There is nothing wrong with the procurement laws. The officers ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. First and foremost, I want to say I support it. But my big concern is that our emphasis has been on revenue. We are not looking at who is paying the tax. Whom are we taxing to fund it? To what extent are we affecting the person who is paying that money? view
