• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to support this Bill from the Senate. I have a bit of reservations with whatever is happening in counties, right from my county of Bungoma. The Bill will seal all the gaps in terms of financial management. I would like to inform the Majority Whip that when the counties were setting up structures for financial management, staff was seconded from the National Government. You will realise that the sickness that is at the national Government is the same one that is being witnessed in counties in terms of revenue ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I hope I am not the bishop you were referring to because occasionally I am referred to as bishop. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I want to support the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill. We need to admit as Members of this House and country that there is a problem. The moment we do so, we will be able to cure the problem eating this country. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: We live in a society that is sort of ill-mannered. Before we talk of the principles and values which are well captured in our Constitution, We labour every day to bring Motions, Bills and amendments and ensure they are implemented, but at the end of the day, they are kept somewhere and nothing is done. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Before we look at the public service principles, something which can cure it and the entire nation by extension is personal or individual values. Your values as a person will definitely direct you or determine the kind of choices you will make. We need to look at how the process of employment is done in this country. We need to look at the values of the people who are selected to sit in our public offices. At times it bothers me much whenever I walk into some departments and find completely rotten officers. You even do not need psychological assessment ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: clearly about accountability, responsibility and transparency. It is very clear in the Constitution but, again, when you go back to the same offices and look at what they are doing, you wonder where we are going. I have heard one Member trying to defend the position of public service. He said that as it stands now, the public service is well balanced. We are cheating ourselves. We are fighting an animal called “tribalism” in this country. We are talking of corruption every day but I want to believe that our personal values can assist us to cure this problem. If, ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a Member of the Special Funds Account Committee. We took some time to look at this Report, but I just want to make one comment. We realised that one Fund was performing much better than the other one. The Women Enterprise Fund is doing very well. The recovery of their loans is above 90 per cent across the constituencies unlike the Uwezo Fund. What came out clearly is that the Women Enterprise Fund has staff that, at least, monitor the process of vetting. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: They know exactly whom they are giving the money. The Uwezo Fund has a challenge because there is no staff. Once the committee releases the money, they will wait until the Assistant County Commissioner, the chief or the assistant chief calls for a meeting. That way, we realised that it is not possible to recover the money that is given out. view
• 3 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There is money that has just been stolen from 19 constituencies, mine included. You will realise that millions of shillings have been withdrawn. The people who withdrew the money are well known, but they are talking of investigating. Agencies are still doing their work for the last two years. So, it is quite a bit of concern. All these inputs that Members are making should be taken into serious consideration, so that the Funds can benefit the common mwananchi . I support the Report. Thank you. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf, on behalf of my family and the great people of Bumula and the entire Bungoma County, I wish to pass my condolences to the late President Moi’s family. Moi will be remembered for many things that he did for this country, but three things stand out. One, Moi opened the political and democratic space of this country. Secondly, Moi was able to hand over power in 2002 without any interference of the Constitution of this country. Thirdly, and it stands out very clearly, Moi asked for forgiveness. Forgiveness comes from strong people. It ... view
