  • 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. As has been said earlier, efforts have been made to have money go to the grassroots – the level of wananchi, as is the case with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF); we want to see our people served well. That is why I have risen to support this Bill. However, I think issues have been raised about the allocation.

We see that as an oversight because when you look at the development in Kajiado County and compare it to other counties, it should have been in the category where the roads and the schools in rural areas need urgent upgrading. It is actually a shame that we have been told to wait for another three years before a review can be done. So, if we have an opportunity in this House to really recommend that counties get extra funds, we know that view

  • 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, let me congratulate you for a well deserved seat.

  • 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, secondly, let me take this opportunity also to thank the people of Kajiado West for having given me an opportunity to serve them. As you can well remember, I was one of the hon. Members who served in the Tenth Parliament and was the shortest serving hon. Member; I served for about three months. My promise to them is that I will be able to do what I can do given that Kajiado West, which was curved out of Kajiado North, is among the least developed constituencies. view

It was an Address that set the agenda for this nation. It was an Address that set the goal. It was also an Address that charted the way for all of us to get there. I know some of the issues still need to be deliberated on, planned and worked upon; it gave a very good indication that the people of this country will move to another level in terms of development. view
