• 11 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me time to support this Bill. But one thing that we must thank the Government for – if you see where those sectors come from - is that we are moving in the right direction. But the Government needs to do more to improve the sugar sector. I would like to touch on sugar zone areas. I come from Kisii where there are three factories for harvesting cane. We have Trans Mara, Kahawa Sukari and South Nyanza (SONY) sugar factories. Those factories do not have the capacity to crush cane. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, all of us have a duty to respect the rule of law, be it teachers or Members of Parliament. The teachers should come out and negotiate with a clean heart. If you check the history, anytime we have had elections, teachers have gone on strike. It happened in 1997, 2002 and 2007. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I am saying is that in every election year, teachers go on strike. It is a fact. I am not talking about whether or not the negotiations were there. I know that they were there, but why do they always wait for third term to go on strike? It is a right to ask for salaries and for the Government to pay them. The Government has got money. There is extra money that we have from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC); Kshs36 billion. We do not need an extra Budget. The Government needs ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, they should also understand that there is a limitation on the Budget. The Government will not print money. It will only raise taxes and we will pass the Budget here. So, the critical thing here is: Let us understand each other as Kenyans and agree that this country belongs to all of us. None of us would be here if it were not for the teachers. We were taught by the teachers. The businessmen, engineers and lawyers in this country have been taught by teachers. So, teachers have a critical role to play in this ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the amendment. The main reason why I am supporting this amendment is because it is not fair for a Committee to talk of more government in the private sector when we should be moving away. What I expected to get from the Committee is a recommendation that the Government should not invest money in joint ventures because--- view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Another point that I wanted to raise is that the Governor of Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) works independently from Treasury. He does not answer to the Treasury. We cannot put the Governor of CBK and the Ministry of Finance together. Clearly, they play separate roles. If the Governor of CBK has made a mistake, he should be pursued alone. If he did not act as he should have acted, then he should be followed. What I did not like about the Committee’s recommendations is about the joint ventures. In the Kenya Postal Corporation, people were sacked; and in Telkom ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Finally, I am supporting the amendment that Mr. Kimunya should remain in his job and not to step aside. That is what I am supporting here. Also, the Governor of CBK should remain, because we have said they should be investigated. You cannot have two swords as Parliament. We will not run this nation if we do things the way we want and asking for someone to be investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and at the same time we tell him to step aside. What are we doing as Members of Parliament? Let us be fair to people ... view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the amendment. view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Bill. I want to say from the outset that if this Bill is passed the way it is, it will make Kenya a police state. I want specifically to refer hon. Members to Miscellaneous Provisions which are very mischievous for this country. It says that the Director-General prescribes the procedure for the classification; protection--- This means that he has the authority to destroy documents. What I would propose here is that the Director-General-- -, whatever information he gets and however sensitive it is, it should not ... view
