• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even in the Committee we did agree that we have a footnote to say that while constitutionally we are using the 2009/2010 accounts. We are fully conscious of the fact that the sharable revenues now relate to the Budget of this year. Constitutionally, it is right, but misleading because we are not sharing from the 2009/2010 accounts. So, I do not even understand what we are fussing about and when people stand and defend the indefensible. Even your Jubilee Governors are out there, shouting that the Government is misleading Kenyans. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: We should not even be debating it. view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second the Motion on Order No.11. In doing so, we are forming a Committee which has strict timelines to work and I do believe that the men and women Senators who have been selected in that Committee--- view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do hope that the Chairperson of the Committee responding to this statement has the capacity to deal with these issues on behalf of this Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in addition to the Kakamega-Kisumu Road, that has got so many irritating diversions and has virtually stalled, can the Chairperson tell this House why the following roads in western Kenya have stalled; Kamukuywa-Mt. Elgon-Chwele- Lwakhakha, which he himself, when he was Minister, visited and toured more than five years ago? Sigalagala-Butere Road; stalled! Kakamega-Webuye Road; stalled! view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Chavakali-Kapsabet-Eldoret Road; stalled! Webuye-Eldoret Road; stalled! Mr. Speaker, Sir, the road like Kamukuywa-Mt. Elgon-Chwele-Lwakhakha was started two years earlier than the Thika Superhighway. Its cost was Kshs1.2 billion, but it did not go half way. Thika Superhighway was constructed and completed at Kshs38 billion. In the just beginning financial year, there is an allocation of Kshs1.2 billion on Thika Superhighway for maintenance of a brand new road when other roads are stalled. I have not mentioned the road from Kitale-Kapenguria-Lokichar-Lodwar-Nadapal; that is not a road! The Jinja-Bumala-Port Victoria Road is stalled. Virtually every road in western Kenya is stalled. What ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on what the Deputy Speaker said, because when I listed the number of stalled roads in western Kenya, at no point did I say that there are no road constructions stalled elsewhere. I simply pointed out roads in western Kenya. For him to jump up and say that I created an impression that roads are good elsewhere simply means that he is confirming my worst fears that, indeed, we are marginalized. Be that as it may, the Chairperson of the Committee has avoided telling this House the rationale and wisdom in putting Kshs1.2 ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the statement from the Chairperson of the Committee? Earlier on he was anxious and angry that he wanted to issue the statement and now he says that he cannot issue it. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what has just happened in the police recruitment is, probably, one of the most scandalous and embarrassing exercises that have ever been undertaken in this country. You may have seen in the newspapers that one recruitment centre in my county, Kimilili, bribes were being demanded at as high as Kshs300,000 for one recruit. People were selling land out of desperation to buy slots to get jobs. These are jobs that are public and supposed to be free and accessed by all eligible Kenyans. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fairest that can be done, even as they investigate, through ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for the distinguished Senator for Garissa and the Chairman of the Committee to make reference to the distinguished Senator for Busia as a miser when Sen. Amos Wako’s public selfless service is well known? His generosity is well known. Is he in order? He has to withdraw and apologise. Sen. Wako said that he did not give any money because he is a man of integrity and not because he is a miser. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is no lacuna in the law in this matter, because law is not necessarily what is written. It is guided by precedents, practice and usage. When we dealt with the Embu matter, there were two impeachment proceedings from Embu County Assembly; separate charges for the Governor and the Deputy Governor. The Khalwale Committee presided on both and returned a verdict of “guilty” on one and “not guilty” on the other. The Khalwale Committee was very clear and never cited any gap in the law on the process of impeaching the Deputy ... view
