• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I wanted to say is that they did a good research from 1975 when we started getting terrorist attacks, but the intensity of the attacks has gone a notch higher from 2012 through 2013 and 2014. There was one in Mombasa when the President was there. We do not know what would have happened. He was there the previous day. There is no difference. He was there when those people were planning. The point here is that, as a nation and as Members of Parliament, we have a responsibility to provide security for this country and ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving a chance to contribute to this Bill. I have a serious concern on it. Under the Recurrent Expenditure, the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government has been allocated a whooping Kshs.5 billion. Are they going to spend this money during the months of March, April, May and June? It is not in arrears. This turns the entire Budget-making process upside down. I do not understand. The Presidency has been allocated Kshs1.5 billion extra. I do not have a quarrel with the allocation to the Ministry of Defence because our soldiers are out ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: this happen? How can we sit here as Members of Parliament and pass a budget which does not look at the interests of our people? I am reading the documents and the information I have here that is supported by the Committee’s Report. While we may pass this--- view

• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you. Then finally, as I continue contributing on this, of course, there is money which has been given to KERRA and Kenya Railways Authority. While there was a mistake earlier, the funding which has been done is inadequate. As Members of Parliament, we come from rural areas and even if you come from an urban area, there are no roads. If there are no roads, it does not matter what you do, we will fail as Members of this august House because that is the truth. If we go back to the former Government, the big thing which made ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: money for irrigation has been removed and it is in the Report which I have gone through. Let us look for a way of improving the wellbeing of ordinary Kenyans as we do this budget. It is not figures we are reading, it is a budget we are passing and which can help this country to move forward and reduce poverty. The rainy season is here, but the money which has been allocated to control floods has been removed from the Budget. These are the big issues I am raising and as we debate this, let us not pass it ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to talk on this Bill. From the outset, I want to say that I oppose it and with very good reasons. The first point is that as a nation we need a policy framework on foreign borrowing. We need rules and regulations to guide this nation on how we should borrow. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think the hon. Member does not understand what I am talking about; I forgive him for interfering when I am contributing. What I am saying is that we need rules and regulations on how--- view
