• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: In the event, for instance, we have allocated money to do a certain road, and the contractor goes to court, the money should not remain idle. The House is able to… view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I am coming to a close. So then the departmental committees or the Budget and Appropriations Committee should be able to reassign the money through a Supplementary Budget as opposed to waiting towards the end for this to happen. view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: All in all, I want to thank and encourage the Committee for the good work it continues to do as we move this country forward. view

• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to acknowledge your words that this is a momentous Bill coming at an important time. We have seen monumental pieces of legislation which have been produced by this able House being nullified on account of public participation and the owners say that there was not enough time. This gives us an opportunity to enact for Kenyans and for ourselves a framework that progresses our country. I will draw from where sovereign authority comes.

• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I just want to echo the words of the Leader of the Majority Party that, indeed, the budget-making process is one of those key tenets that have been given to this House. This is important and I know there has been a lot of consultations since morning - back and forth. We appreciate the efforts of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in this regard.

• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. You echo it so well when you talk about our concerns regarding boundaries like what we are currently experiencing in Makueni with Taita Taveta. The bone of contention is issues to do with revenue. You will find that outdoor advertising - and I am sure the Committee has captured that - is a business running into hundreds of billions a year in the Republic of Kenya. It could develop into a very sore issue. This Bill is timely. The issue which I would invite the Committee to venture into is where ... view
