• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Motion from the outset. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, hopefully you will not penalize me because you had given me the Floor for ten minutes. I was on the Floor at the discretion of the Speaker. I want to raise a very serious concern; I want us to go through the policy statement that we have just been given and refer you to a specific section. I want us to refer to our Standing Order No.232(e) which is very clear on the total resources to be allocated to individual programmes and projects within a sector, Ministry or department for a period identified in subparagraph (a) indicating the ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Parliament. The policies of this Government are upside down. Can we, as Parliament, tell this Government that it needs to wake up? They have brought a document without following the due process. I will now touch on agriculture. If you look at the funds allocated for agriculture, there is no money for it yet we say we want to feed ourselves. I wish you could give me more time, so that I can continue--- With those few remarks, I am concerned about the Budget making process. I am concerned that this Government has no agenda for this country. So we ... view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Basically, the message is very clear here that this Government is not taking infrastructure seriously. I want to ask the people in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure where the money is for the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA). Where is the money for Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA)? Where is the money for the entire roads infrastructure for roads? We can sit here today working on a project for laptops yet we do not have roads. To me, this Budget is upside down. As we move on, let us interrogate this document properly. We are responsible for bringing development ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to these Reports. I thank the Committee which compiled these Reports. I would urge hon. Members to go through them. First, I want to make comment on one thing. We have been talking about under- expenditure and under-collection. Over-expenditure and under-expenditure is a situation where the people in the Ministries do not spend the money that they have. These people work for the Kenya Government; the only job they do is to wait for money to be given so that it can be used on various projects. ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: because what is coming out very clearly is that estimates are prepared without clearly thinking whether this revenue will be raised. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is shown in these Reports here has been a practice since Independence; we shall always say: “Donors did not give us money. We went for negotiations.” The same reasons are given; when they know how long it will take. If they know how long it will take, then that money should be actualized; if they do not know, surely, why should they sit in the office? They do not look for money from anywhere ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have talked about importation of motor vehicles. Some Members have talked about it. These vehicles came in. Advance payment 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
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: was made. No vehicle was given. Finally, we are going to be told that this is a national debt and we should pay it. What is it doing to us? It is increasing our burden. However, had we an Act and a policy on how we borrow from outside, these problems would not be there. I am urging Members, and specifically the Leader of Majority Party, who is here today, to tell Uhuru, the good President, that we should come up with a Bill which guides this country on how we borrow from overseas. Let it not be a case ... view
