  • 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The other front that has been neglected is their salaries which have not been improved. As Members of Parliament, we must push and ask our Government to improve the salaries of these young men and women, if we want to retain them in Service. Obviously, it is human nature that if somebody gets greener pastures, he or she will move. Since I belong to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, I must say that the Government has hired very many young men and women and most of them are graduating from these colleges. We have seen the numbers ... view
  • 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I propose that we give the Chairperson an opportunity to tell us what is in the new Clause 31C before we go to Clause 34. That is the only way we can understand what is exactly contained in the new Clause 31C. view
  • 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to congratulate my good friend, Hon. Dawood, for bringing this Motion that is very noble. Many Members are saying that this is not doable, that we cannot have ICUs and blood transfusion centres in every constituency. I want to tell you that it is doable. It is corruption in our country that is preventing us from having these services. We should deal with corruption in the national Government, and also in the county governments. We are having a lot of wastage in various Government departments. If we minimise this ... view

  • 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity, first of all, to support this second Supplementary Budget. I want to put this on record. Indeed, as the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we asked the National Treasury many questions, like the ones Members are asking. Let me say that indeed, this is the first time, in the history of Kenya, that we are approving 15 per cent of the Supplementary Budget. There are a number of items that have been mentioned in this Supplementary Budget. There are a number of items that have been mentioned in this Supplementary Budget. One of ... view
  • 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: When this issue of security was brought to our Committee that this money has already been spent, we totally agreed because it came from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. view
  • 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: When you look at the other development items the money has been spent on, like infrastructure, the Kshs130 billion that Hon. Dalmas Otieno was talking about, it is not money from the Chinese Government. It is the money that the Government is going to spend with an additional funding from the Chinese Government or other donors. Therefore, as a country, we need this money so that the railway does not stop. If it stops, 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
  • 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: it will be another white elephant project just like many others that are all over this country. Therefore, these items are needed by this country. Let me also help Members to understand that our Kenya Airways was also going down. When the National Treasury said that they needed Kshs4.2 billion as an emergency loan for the Kenya Airways, if the Government had waited for this House to approve the loan, today we would not have the Kenya Airways. That is why they spent that Kshs4.2 billion. Many Members are asking why the Government used this money. Members who have spoken ... view
  • 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Let me tell Members of Parliament, so that they can understand where the National Treasury is coming from. They needed Kshs13.5 billion to fund the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum for geothermal generation and transmission. Today the price of electricity connection has gone down to Kshs15, 000 from Kshs35, 000. That is helping our country. This must be taken into consideration. This money is not going to Jubilee or to ODM. It is going to Kenyans and it is going to help them. I would like to tell hon. Members that we are also at pains to understand where the ... view
