• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Vote 29 – National Assembly. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to also say that in the Budget Committee, we noted that the allocation to Vote 29 was also slashed contrary to the law. This is going to undermine the functions of Parliament especially in the face of view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to persuade the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to make a point of bringing the Report of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission for debate in this House, so that we can see whether we are really getting value for money, starting with the latest. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to agree with the House in the said Resolution. However, I want to point out something which is very fundamental to this House. This House plays an oversight role over the Executive. A trend has emerged where the Department of Defence is perpetually under Guillotine. I have noticed that advantage has been taken of that fact. I have been looking through the past records to see how the Department of Defence budget has been growing. It would be important for this House to note that from 1990 to date, this budget has been ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, these figures compare very badly with our neighbours. Ethiopia and Uganda have had war but their expenditure on defence is less than that of Kenya when you combine them and that is a worrying trend. view

This is a country that does not seem to have its priorities right. We know that, rich or poor, we all require food. Our priority number one should be food security. I say that in light of the allocation that has been given to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture, Vote 10, has an allocation of Kshs10 billion for Recurrent Expenditure. I want this country to compare that allocation with the Recurrent allocation that ... view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. Vote 07 is under scrutiny of two committees, the finance committee and view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Deputy Prime Minister in order to misdirect such an important request from the people of Rangwe? Instead of taking it to the Ministry of Transport, he is taking it to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Is he in order? view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had more kind words for you. It is unfortunate that we will have you for a maximum of two years, courtesy of the new Constitution. I want to say that the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 is the brain and the eye of this nation. As far as development is concerned, we need to really give it adequate funding, so that we can have direction in this country. The second thing I want to say is the credibility of the data. I must emphasise here that in the ... view
