• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Petition. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources that for the sake of clarity and avoidance of ambiguity, it is important that we do not endorse this amendment. There is a very thin line between commercial and domestic use of water nowadays. Because of lack of clarity, we can reject this amendment. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. It will allow the National Treasury to use the money that we have allocated in the Supplementary Budget. Even as we allocate some money to fill the gaps between the previous budgets, it is very important that we ensure the prudent use of funds. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: The shortfall of Kshs130 billion, which is required to be provided for in the next Budget, is not little money. There is need to prioritise what exactly needs to be funded and leave out what can wait. That is what supplementary budgets are all about. I agree that the recruitment of 10,000 police officers to enhance our security is very important. We will spend Ksh9.4 billion in that exercise. That is not little money. It should be used prudently. I am a bit disappointed. My disappointment has nothing to do with the Bill, but with the procedure that is followed ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: A substantial amount of money will finance the gaps in the energy department – the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) and the connection of electricity to primary schools. This is because the laptop project has not been completed. Some of the money is going to the Last 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
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Mile Connection Project, which will ensure that every Kenyan is connected to the grid to enjoy the quality of life that comes with the use of electricity. Even as we appropriate this money, I am perturbed by the expenditure vis-à-vis the development budget. Every time we give out money, most of it goes to Recurrent Expenditure. That money can be reduced by having prudent measures of ensuring that we reduce the unnecessary expenditure. If we continue doing that, we will finance what we call “a budget of hand to mouth” rather than getting Kenyans out of the situation of relying ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Petition. That problem has been created by another problem that is rampant almost everywhere. There is need to align the boundaries of administrative centres with political ones. There are some constituencies that have more than one sub-county. We have other sub-counties that have more than one constituency. The idea of making the sub-counties recruiting centres when you have more than one constituency in one sub-county leaves many people out. On the other hand, constituencies with more than one sub-county benefit from the sub- counties. The administration needs to have formula that can be ... view
• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I support that we should sort out administrative boundaries. A special case, like the one that has been mentioned of Navakholo, should be looked into because many Kenyans will be left out from being recruited into the armed forces, if that is the formulae at hand. view

• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to echo the sentiments of the Leader of the Majority Party. I want to draw your attention to a case which occurred recently in the United States of America (USA). There was a law like this which had a loop hole. The famous Apple Technology Company, which manufactures iphones, refused their phone to be cracked by security. They felt that the information being sought did not have enough ground to cause any insecurity in the country. It was a big problem because it was about a The electronic version of the Official ... view
