• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: level, what is wrong if we have a meeting to understand what the county government’s plan is? We are sharing information. The structures we are putting in place will help us understand each other. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: For example, the other day, I was doing a road in my constituency and the county government was also doing the same road. I had to tell the governor that I was doing that road and if he had funds, he could say the road he was going to do. We must share information.You will find in the constituency which I represent each member of the county assembly has been allocated money for roads. But you do not know the road that he or she is doing. We need to share this information and know the road he or she ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, let us not appear as if we are permanent Members of Parliament. Let us serve our term and another group will come. However, let us pass what can help reduce poverty in this country so that when our term ends as Members of Parliament, we will go to our constituencies and our people will re-elect us. This is because we helped them get water, electricity and repair roads. We cannot get development if we ignore to participate with the county government. So, all of us need to work with the county government and share information. We are not ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support this Bill. I would like to inform hon.

• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Motion. First and foremost, I want to thank the Committee. The Committee spent a lot of time and I thank them for what they have come up with. Secondly, the Supplementary Estimates have come early enough. In the past, we used to debate these Estimates in April and yet, the financial year was coming to an end in June. That led to a lot of abuse in using the funds. I agree with what hon. Mbadi has said about the Supplementary Estimates. We are here ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also want to thank the Committee for giving the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum some money. That is rare. The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) has also been given some money. However, I am saddened that not enough funds have been given to Kenya Power. As we sit here today, there are people who have paid deposits for their houses to be connected with power. They should come up with a good policy of subsidizing power. You pay Kshs34,000 for you to be connected to power supply. People from my area have paid deposits but they have ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we are talking about the Budget and allocation of funds. I am asking a simple straightforward question whether money has been provided for in this Budget to pay for Anglo-Leasing projects. That is all. If none has been provided, that is good for the country because we will discourage these issues of--- view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is good that, that is cleared and we all know. Another issue here is that people are looking at it and the story is going around. So, he has cleared the air and everybody will be happy at the end of the day. It is true that through revenue, we get money to spend. As we move on, let me hope that the tax collection method is not going to be harsh to discourage investments by the business community. view
