• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. You know the law does not give us an opportunity to follow what the Chairman has said, or what the CDF Chairman has said; the law is very clear that it is 2.5% of every budget. In effect, if we allow this to happen, it will mean that we have cut the budget of some constituencies in this financial year. There is no other way you can explain it. I will plead with the Chair that we have the funds which are meant for CDF for this financial year as they should be. We are not asking for ... view

• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am rising on the Adjournment of debate under Standing Order No.96 which states. “A Member who wishes to postpone to some future occasion the further discussion of a question which has been proposed from the Chair may claim to move “That, the debate be now adjourned”, or, in Committee of the whole House “That, the Chairperson do report progress”. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I am rising on this point because the law is very clear. If we go to the CDF Act, Section 4(2) and read the same Act, Section 9(2), it is very clear that funds allocated for a particular project shall remain allocated for the said project and shall not be reallocated during the financial year for any other purpose whether in that constituency or anywhere else without the approval of the board. The point I am trying to raise is that the CDF funds, once given remain for the constituency. The point is not whether the money has been utilized ... view

• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. First and foremost, I am opposing the Motion for the following basic reasons: The county governments have been formed to provide public utility services to the counties. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The role of the county is to provide utilities for us; provide roads, water, schools and not to come and manage factories. I come from the Kisii County. We have South Nyanza Sugar Factory, which is a parastatal and Trans-Mara which is a private company. I have Kahawa Sukari at Ndhiwa which is private company. When you look at all these companies and see how they operate--- view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: With the parastatal in Trans-Mara, within two weeks the farmer is paid. When you go to the other factories, it will take three or one month before the farmer is paid. What we need at this time at the county level, the farmer needs better roads where he can take his produce. The farmer needs a market for his produce. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: The hon. Member wanted to interrupt me. He was not listening when the Deputy Speaker said that we had quorum when we proceeded. What I was saying is that, the role of the county is to give us utilities. I come from the Kisii County and I am giving you an example of how we are surviving in South Mugirango. All the factories are actually paying the farmers very well and the farmers are getting their money in time because there is a new private enterprise which has come in. The farmer needs water, electricity and the county government should ... view
