• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, I think the Chair has done justice in moving the Second Supplementary Appropriation Bill. I heard murmurs in the Chamber when he said the railway to nowhere is now being moved to Nakuru. I still think this is nowhere. Eventually, I hope we will allocate more funds so that it connects with the other one in Kisumu and finally get somewhere. You know, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I want to thank all the Chairs of various Committees who took their time to give their feedback quickly on this Second ... view

• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Listening to what my former Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, a man I hold in very high respect, Hon. Ichung’wah and what Hon.

• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Funding to private universities is not only going to begin by us enacting this law. Already, it is happening. It has been happening, I think, for well over the last seven years. We are already funding private universities. One of the challenges, and I speak as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we have asked even the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and people from the Ministry, every other time we see amendments on money to move from one Vote Head to fund private universities, there has not been a criterion to determine how much is given. ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I will show it to you. Let me just go to the next one. I am getting a copy of the Bill and I will indicate that. The other thing is that on the funding to students that are going to universities, we must remember in this House we give money to students in private universities and that the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) is also about public money. Either way, it is public money that is being given to students that are going to public universities. So, it is not anything new. It is not true when they say ... view
