• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was just looking at the mood in the House and the fact that this Motion has been debated very extensively and wanted to request that the Mover be called upon to reply and in the process if he can donate a minute to me, I will also be grateful. I do not know whether that is in order? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also give my views on the Public Audit Bill. This is a very important Bill in terms of management and running of public affairs in this country and therefore, we need to look at it carefully, and make sure that the legal framework we are setting up, particularly the powers that we are seeking to give to this particular office, will be as effective as possible. The Office of the Auditor General is very important. This constitutional Bill, as it is, will assist us in ensuring that ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: understand why the process is so slow; when that happens it makes it difficult for us to plan and implement our programmes the way we have planned them. What I am saying is that we also need to be looking at the systems; we hope that the office that we are discussing today, the office of the Auditor-General, will assist us in looking at some of the drawbacks and weaknesses that make such things happen. Controls and risk management are areas that they should be looking at. Obviously, it would really be sad that those who come to this office, ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am talking about my own experience, which is that what we have received is about 30 per cent. If the other amounts have been forwarded then, maybe, I would like to know when because at the time I left the constituency that had not happened. Anyway, I just gave that--- view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: I am properly guided hon. Deputy Speaker. In conclusion, I urge that we should be checking the reports that come from the Auditor-General--- view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we should be checking the recommendations and the reports that come from the Auditor-General seriously; if we do not do that then what is the point or purpose of wasting all these resources doing such a good law and then it is not followed properly? I support the Bill. Thank you. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There are a lot of problems in the education sector but, because of time, let me confine myself to the issue at hand, which is about fees. As it has been said, education is a leveller. We want all our children to get the same education. But it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to access it mainly because they are barred by the fees that are being charged.

• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is surprising that we spend so many resources – time and money – setting up taskforces like the one which was led by Kilemi Mwiria. They did a report and brought it to us, but nobody seems to be paying any attention to it. I do not know whether this is being done out of defiance. That is because the Ministry of Education cannot pretend that it does not know what they are charging. The calling letters are all over. Just pick up any invitation letter and you will see the kind of fees that ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would also like to join the rest of my colleagues and the country. On my behalf and on behalf of Butula Constituency, I would like to pass my condolences to the family of the late hon. Muchai and also the people of Kabete. That is a very worrying thing. It is likely to cause fear, despondency, alarm and perhaps, lack of confidence in our security apparatus. We call upon the relevant security organs to do everything that they can to bring those criminals to justice and, perhaps, find out what could have been the motive ... view
