• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: So, I completely oppose the Report on that strength. Even if it were me, under the circumstances that I do not want to discuss in as much as you have gagged us and the Report salutes to some of the issues that you do not want us to speak about here, any Member in such a position would be seeking every available opportunity to get any information. Even if I was told that that information is at the Central Bank of Kenya, I would like to seek it because the allegations that led to even these memo flying back and ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think we are getting a bit confused. I think it is up to the Speaker to rule on whether the amendment is rightfully placed in what we are discussing so that if it is wrongfully placed, then there is no need for us canvassing further on it. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: If it is in the Order Paper, you are saying it cannot be put here. If it is not supposed to be here, then the Leader of the Majority Party would be misguiding us to say that it is wrongfully placed here so that we should not talk about it. If you will allow me to make my contribution, I will appreciate. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I just want to register my voice on the proposed amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: It is not the role of citizens to fund government activities, especially after they have paid tax. However, what we have seen happening, which continues to happen - I also sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee - is the same thing that the Auditor-General has reported on. He has presented reports on pending bills. I can tell you that the bulk of pending bills are bills that are actually payable but probably the projects were abandoned midway because the contractors were not paid. Lack of clear regulations also gives room for corruption to take place in this country. What ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I am with you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you allow 10 per cent for the road contract, they will be in a hurry to get a contractor to move to the site. Probably, the contractor will talk to a few people. He is moved to the site and then there is no money. The project is abandoned and then they move on. So, I think it is incumbent upon us, as a House, to protect Kenyans. Today many people have been auctioned because there is no harm if we retain it there. If it is elsewhere, what is the ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Uriri, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to contribute to this Motion on the approval of this nominee, Dr. Francis Owino. First of all, I thank the Committee for a good job they have done in vetting this gentleman who is clearly, from his papers, very well educated, and has working experience of over 28 year, close to three decades in Government. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The amazing thing is that this gentleman has served in Government for 28 years with no record of corruption especially in this era when we are fighting corruption. He has no problem with the public as evidenced in this Report because there was not even a single compliant from the public during the window when he was actually being vetted. Hon. Speaker, this is a career civil servant who joined the service in 1992 and served from the lowest level to the highest level. Clearly, this is a gentleman who has risen through the ranks based on merit and not ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I talk as someone who has been a friend of a few committees. view
