• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. I have to first of all say that as a Member of a watchdog Committee, the Public Investments Committee (PIC) that complements or supplements some of the other work that PAC does, I have been taken aback. I am a former Minister who was in charge of the NYS. We have a vision for the youth empowerment programme, through the NYS, in collaboration with other development partners and during my tenure, we signed a contract with the Chinese Government of over Kshs5 billion to bring in equipment that ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: without him being there. As I speak, some of these fellows are still walking in our streets. Some are even transforming themselves into politicians to come here and play oversight roles over the very same institutions they helped to loot. It is a sad day and moment for our country. Mr Harakhe should be behind bars. I was even surprised when a name, Mr. Otuoma, appeared here and Harakhe tried to associate that name with me thinking that that was my brother. You can see how the networks of corruption want to pull in everybody to think that in the ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: are in support of us, but cartels are used to corrupt and obtain everything through corruption. They have infiltrated some of our parties and have done the kind of things they did in some areas with some of us going through sham nominations. This was not just in the ODM, but I believe it equally happened in Jubilee where in a whole region, there is currently a conspiracy theory that there were some tall trees that were supposed to be cut down. When your hedge overgrows, you trim it. I have never seen a process where you trim tall trees. ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Some of the institutions we created are supposed to be watchdog committees over public institutions, but they are not doing anything. Even as we put these reports in Parliament, and you see the recommendations there, no action is going to be taken. In this country, we can come up with institutions, put in men and women who are unable to perform and at the end of the day, the country loses resources. We come back here and it just becomes a report. I hope, as we go out, this Report is going to be ... view
