• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: The President mentioned devolution. He recognised that we have increased allocation to the counties. We allocated Kshs190 billion, then Kshs226 billion last year and we project to allocate Kshs258 next year. This is a good thing. As we continue to plan for our counties, we should look at where the money is going. Is it making a difference in the counties? We all know it is not. The World Bank Report indicated that most of the counties hardly spend their money. About 90 per cent goes to waste and only ten per cent goes to development. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I disagree with the President when he says that in Narok, Embu, Mandera, Marsabit, Mandera and Tana River among others, ethnicity is being used to divide and manipulate the corruption that is happening in the counties. When leaders and people in these counties demonstrate against these governors, people are killed and leaders are arrested, like what happened in Narok. This is simply because of saying that the governor is corrupt. The EACC has listed the Governor of Narok as one of the corrupt governors in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Kenya. You cannot label this as tribalism or as playing clanism. This is not clanism. We are Kenyans; we love and respect our people and all the people who reside in Narok. The bottom line is that if the money that has been allocated to our county is not being properly used, then we will continue to complain. The President should go an extra mile and make sure that all the governors who have been mentioned in the list of shame step aside. If they do not, the residents of those counties will have to tell them to step aside. view

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Asante sana, mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda kwa nafasi hii uliyonipa. Nampogeza mhe. (Bi.) Lay kwa kuleta mjadala huu. Mjadala huu ni muhimu sana kwa sababu asilimia kubwa ya wananchi wa Kenya hawajasoma na hawaelewi lugha ya Kiingereza. Kama tulivyosikia kutoka kwa mhe. (Bi.) Lay, wale ambao wanastahili kutafsiri Katiba na sheria nyingine hawana fedha. Ni jukumu letu kama Wabunge kuhakikisha kwamba wana fedha ili waweze kufanya kazi hii. Juzi nilikuwa nikifuatilia mjadala wa Bunge la nchi jirani ya Tanzania. Kwa kweli, nilifurahishwa sana na jinsi Wabunge walivyokuwa wakiendesha mjadala wao. Mjadala ambao ulikuwa unaendelea ulikuwa muhimu sana kwa sababu ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute on this Motion. I rise to support this Motion as further amended twice. I agree with the Committee on how they allocated the Kshs3 billion which was the source of all these protests. I am not going into details because the Chairman did a good job in explaining how we divided the money. I belong to that Committee and we have done a very good job given the fact that you all know that the money available for distribution to various Government agencies is always not enough. ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with regard to the Ministry of Labour, there is the national safety net programme which handles older persons, orphans, and persons with disabilities. The number of beneficiaries has risen from 46,000 to 100,000 and it is a good thing. Whenever I go to my constituency these elderly people normally ask where their money is. I am very sure that all of you are asked these questions every now and then. The Ministry has addressed this issue effectively. It is not enough, but it is better than what we had last year. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue that we are very concerned about as a Committee is this issue of ceiling. We understand that Treasury does not have enough money, but I was concerned with the money that was given to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. Last year, we passed the Wildlife Management Act which says that all those people who are killed by animals should be compensated according to the Act. However, up to now, we still have so many people being killed by wildlife but the Government is not compensating them. That is why we ... view
