• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I am looking at the allocations for water, and priority should be given to those areas because even after they receive relief food, there is no water to cook it. They still have to suffer looking for water. We expect that this Vote on Account will really have a meaning to the people of Kenya. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: I am looking at the allocation to the National Intelligence Security Service (NSIS), which is a whooping Kshs6 billion and I am thinking that this is where the leakages occur. These monies are not audited. This Constitution does not exempt any single Ministry from audit. As a Parliament, we will be failing if we do not now start insisting on audited accounts of all Votes, including the so-called “confidential Votes”. A committee of this Parliament is capable of scrutinising anything that belongs to the Republic of Kenya. We do not want to sit and imagine that the Kshs6 billion is ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen the huge allocation to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security.

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, while supporting the amendments by the Minister I wish to propose a further amendment to Clause 5(4)(ii) to strengthen the clause. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5(4)(ii) be further amended by deleting the fullstop after the word “public”, at the end of the provision and inserting the following words; “and submit to Parliament a report of the interviews, which should include inter alia, scores of each candidate interviewed by individual members of the interviewing panel together with the criteria used in selecting the names forwarded. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is in line with the recommendation of the Committee yesterday when it was presenting its report. This will further enhance transparency, so that we know what the scores are and the criteria used. We will also be able to know the conduct of the proceedings and this will improve the transparency of the process. view

• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to congratulate the Minister and remind him that he undertook, on the record of the HANSARD, that as requested by the Member who has just spoken before me, he will with great dispatch, bring a comprehensive law, because this law relates only to two offices. He will remember that we wanted to hold it to include other offices, but we have let it go. Let him now bring a comprehensive Bill that must include the protection of whistle blowers. Until an investigation is done and allegations are verified not to be true, a person ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second this Motion. I once again call on the Government to ensure that there is food and water in Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo and other parts of upper Eastern and North Eastern areas. I would also like to ask the Executive to expedite and bring the necessary legislation for implementing the Constitution. I would like to congratulate those who have been appointed but tell them that they are on notice. Kenyans are watching each and every step they make. I would also like to remind us as Kenyans that it is our responsibility to ... view
