• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose Hon. Irungu Kang’ata’s amendment for the reason that it will take us straight to the Senate. We are navigating very thin lines to ensure this Bill does not go to Senate. I want to request Members to listen to me. As I oppose Hon. Kang’ata’s amendent, I want to give him comfort in this Bill. If he wants to construct a dispensary, he will give the money to the primary school in his village, and it will do whatever he wants. If it wants to build a hospital, let it do but ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as I oppose Mwaura’s amendment, I just want to make it very clear that the way the Bill is drafted at the moment, does not discriminate against persons with disabilities. So, we do not need to make an expression in the Bill that a certain amount should go to that category. Otherwise, you will see the youth, men, women and the elderly saying they also need a certain percentage. The Bill as it is does not discriminate at all against Hon. Mwaura. I thank you. view

• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 24 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub clause 1. As a Committee, we have accepted to move that amendment. This amendment eliminates the requirement that the number of projects that can be submitted should not be less than five and not more than 25. We believe that the way the Bill is drafted at the moment we do not need that Clause 24(1). I request Members to support that amendment. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 25 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by deleting the words “the chairman of the Constituency Committee to the Board after approval by the Constituency Committee for that constituency” and substituting therefor the words “Constituency Committee to the Board”. 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
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, through this amendment, we are trying to avoid a scenario where the chairman of the Board becomes a “superpower” and rogue to an extent that he becomes unavailable. We want to ensure that the committee continues to work even in the absence of the chairman. That is why we are deleting the word “chairman” and replacing it with the word “committee”. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: This amendment is based on experience we had this year and last year. We have had constituencies where the chairpersons decided that they were elected and therefore they were more important than Members of Parliament. We are therefore removing the requirements for the chairman to submit project and convene meetings. We are giving that role to the entire committee so that the Constituency Committee can submit project and convene meetings. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I request hon. Members to support this amendment. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 26 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (2) by deleting the words “the chairman of the Constituency Development Fund” and substituting therefor the word “Constituency”. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: This is similar to the amendment done to Clause 25. We are again removing the word “chairperson” wherever it appears in substitution of the entire committee. So, this is a consequential amendment to the amendment done in Clause 25. view
