• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose the amendment by my colleague because the ongoing vetting process has unearthed a lot of rogue officers in the police service. So, we should oppose it in the strongest terms possible. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is a very straightforward amendment to The Public Finance Management Act. We want to provide a legal framework, so that our Government can borrow from outside. The reason why we have had high interest rates in this country is because we have not provided, as the National Assembly, a framework to enable the Government to borrow from outside. When you look at other countries all over the world, they have opened up the basket, so that the Government can engage with financial institutions in their securities and even ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to the debate on President’s Address. First of all, I want to take this opportunity to thank the President for performing his constitutional mandate. This is a new era where the Constitution mandates the President to come to this House and tell us exactly what the Government has done for the one year it has been in power. I must thank the President because of the poaching menace that he talked about. I am one of those Members of Parliament who have been affected by this ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The KWS is mandated by the Constitution and relevant Acts of this House to take care of our wildlife, but indeed, they are not doing their job. The President must take charge of this Government institution. When we talked of the crisis in the country, the directors and those who were in charge came out and casually said nothing had happened, when every day we are losing elephants and rhinos. This is very precious wildlife and when we lose it, we lose our economy; there is economic sabotage in this issue. If the Government does not come out clearly to ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of agriculture, the President mentioned about soil mapping and sampling. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of this country. Indeed, ever since Independence, we have been using DAP as our fertilizer. I must thank the Government because they have done research and now they can advise our farmers, so that they can know what kind of fertilizers they should use in their farms instead of continuing to use the same DAP. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I must also mention the issue of insecurity in this county, which cannot be handled by one person. The Nyumba Kumi initiative could have worked very well in this country, but we are always ready to say that the Government should do something. We must help our constituents to use the Nyumba Kumi initiative because it is going to help us know what is happening. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Former President Moi used to invest a lot of money in intelligence. If you go to the constituencies everybody knows who a National Intelligence officer is. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to also join my colleagues in supporting this Bill. I must say that this particular Supplementary Budget is a negotiated document between the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the various Departmental Committees of this House and the Treasury. Therefore, when you look at the various expenditures and reallocation that we have done as a Committee, we have done a very good job compared to last year when we were given the Supplementary Budget and we did not have time. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: This time round, the Treasury knows that we are not just a House or a Departmental Committee to rubberstamp what they bring to our Committee. We went through it and I must thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the staff who have done a tremendous job. That was very good and we will continue to improve and make sure that what is brought to us is something that will go a long way in improving the lives of Kenyans. view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: When you look at our Constitution, the newborn baby, which is only three years old, is under attack and that is why we thought carefully that it is prudent to get about Kshs.80 million so that we can audit this young baby and find out what is wrong with it. This is because for just three years, we have not yet – I do not think we have owned this Constitution enough to know where it pinches. When you look at the various stakeholders who have been talking about this Constitution, it is like the country is already tired of ... view
