• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Deputy President, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Thank you and I support. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Bill. I want to point out that this Bill is coming in pursuit of the transition clauses in the Constitution. The Constitution envisages that this process be undertaken within five years. I believe that this was put there on the realization of the fact that it is imperative that there is engagement between the national Government and the county government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a notion is being created here quite repeatedly that the elected county government can never be trusted with power. The President is an elected person. ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate the Minister on that bold step in as much as he started in a very zigzag way. There was an understanding in this House that extra ordinary times require extra ordinary measures and we had a contract with our constituents which we needed to live up to. I am glad he has appreciated the same. Between now and 31st December, we only have ten days. Could he expedite so that we can get this money within this week rather than later? We also need to be involved in the implementation of ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the same vein, a major impediment to the implementation of CDF projects are the DDOs. These are the authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) holders. Some of them are hardly in the offices. Some of them are unnecessarily uncooperative. Could we get an undertaking from the Minister directing his DDOs to ensure that these projects are completed by March? view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 28th July, 2012, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security in connection with the persistent and consistent errors of omission and commission on the printing of the Draft Constitution and also on the failure to print the Ligale Report. To date, I have not received that Statement. This matter is very serious because recently I also noticed that the National Intelligence Service Act had serious omissions on what we passed in this House. There are amendments that were approved by this House, but they are ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because the very essence we want to extend time is so that we can transact business; I support and request that the question be put. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Next Order! view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even in that kind of noise, I believe you heard me. We have waited for this Inspector-General for so long. I want to support. Yesterday, we saw His Excellency the President bid us bye here. He did the hardest work on land; the work of being the President of this country look so simple. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you appreciate that he has eaten into a few of my seconds. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I was saying that His Excellency the President made the work of the presidency look so simple until everybody thought they could be president. Similarly, Mr. David Kimaiyo has made the work of police look so simple even in difficult times like during the post-election violence. I want to say that a lot of money is being spent unnecessarily because of insecurity in this country. We privately employ many guards and erect so many walls because of insecurity. I think a mechanism should now be put in place to ensure that the police department spends its own money. The problem ... view
