• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, especially for being sympathetic. Even though I came in when the discussion was on, I am seized of the facts of this matter. I have even commented about it. Contrary to what the Leader of the Majority Party is inferring, some of us stand as professionals, whether it is a person of our ethnicity or not. One of the things The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: we must do as Parliament is jealously guard our independence. That is despite and in spite of the Leader of the Majority Party. In fact, it is because of that issue of guarding the independence of Parliament that you sometimes see me reacting in manners that I should not as a Member of Parliament, when I feel the independence of Parliament is under threat or when I feel the Executive is encroaching on the role or the spheres of Parliament. It is unfortunate for us to infer the actions of a single judicial officer to the Chief Justice. I speak ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I have indicated that I flipped through because of times. We have a lot of divided attention, even though I have not gone to my constituency. I was attending the Pan-African Parliament. Our reports also tend to move fairly fast within this Parliament and sometimes it becomes difficult. However, this is an issue that I am sure all of us are very familiar with. I want to thank the Constitutional Implementation and Oversight Committee (CIOC). I just want to comment on one issue which is that of poor development, a fact ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to indicate that it has been very unfortunate that there has been a lot of blame game between the national Government and county governments, especially on the issue of allocation of resources. If you compare the amount of work that has been done by the resources that are allocated to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) - a devolved fund - with the amount of work that has been done by county The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: governments, it is actually embarrassing, especially if you look at the astronomical amounts that were given to the governors. Going forward, I hope Kenyans will be serious this time in electing governors; that they will elect not just politicians but politicians who can deliver to their people. Let me give an example of Mbita. I can count the number of classrooms we have built through NG-CDF. We can also count the number of maternity centres, roads and special programmes that we have done through NG-CDF. I do not want to pinpoint a specific county but if you go to counties ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: mechanism will mitigate situations similar to the one I witnessed in Mbita Constituency, where a road that could only have passed above water was documented as having been constructed by the county Government. We have not seen the road that was purported to have been constructed from a place called Kamsama to Tajo in Rusinga Island. According to records, the road was completed and money paid. The road was handed over but it was a road that could only have passed above water – over tarmac or under tarmac – because there was already an existing road on the road ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I support the Bill. I am happy that the Bill is largely in conformity with a recent court decision that stated that most of the miscellaneous amendment Bills should concentrate on miscellaneous issues and not substantive ones. I have looked at this Bill and it does that. I just want to comment briefly since it is largely straightforward. With regard to the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, I am happy that we are doing a lot in this House to try and streamline that sector. While speaking from ... view
• 22 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: should bring an amendment to make the appointment competitive. We are bound to create semi- dictators out of the CSs when we give them powers that are unchecked. On the Crops Act, there is a Board of Trustees that is being formed. I know that counties have a role in crops. I am just wondering why we do not have, in this law, a provision for a representative of the Council of Governors or a provision on some role that the Council of Governors would play in the Board of Trustees. Again, I wish to comment on the National Employment ... view
