• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: When you look at the amount of resources that we are spending by even attempting to repair the normal roads that we are constructing, we are losing a lot of money. The tarmac gets destroyed within no time. So, if we had, instead, invested in SGR all along, we would have saved the country the agony of using constructed roads which get destroyed within no time. Two, there is the cost of fuel. By fuelling all those trucks, the bills go to either Kenyans private pockets or to the Government. It is a cost to the Kenyan economy. We are ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: When it comes to liquid, pipeline is the standard way of transport. That is the standard world over. Once we do that, we shall have substantially brought down the cost of trade and investment in this country. It does not matter what our debt levels are. We can pay those debts with an efficient economy. We cannot afford to bring development to this country with an efficient economy that is relying on one MGR that is obsolete and long deserving of replacement. view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With those arguments, I beg to support this Motion and urge the country to support that project. If we had invested in that kind of project 20 years ago, the country would be reaping abundantly. When we look at the main projects that are about to begin-- - If we are going to have minerals in places like Turkana and other parts of the country which are also becoming productive, it behoves the Kenyan economy to have a modern transport capacity for it to achieve efficiency and to attract investments. With those words, I beg to support. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you. I also support the proposal to delete subclause (2). This would be a very dangerous legislation. In the course of time as institutions grow, there will be fewer cases of challenge to procurement when the level of compliance improves. However, this provision appears to imply that there will always be need for close monitoring at the regional level, which would deny the Board aptitude to plan its own activities. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support the amendment by Hon. Duale. It makes a lot of sense to ensure that even as we enforce procurement procedures, we safeguard other national interests, which include protecting confidential information. We have already taken other actions to safeguard public interest in the way public resources are spent like in audits. So, it would be imprudent to require those documents to be made public when they relate to national security. view

• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Is the submission concerning what the Committee has discussed relevant to this amendment, whether it is supported or not? view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I am rising on a point of order to raise concern about compliance of this Motion with the Standing Orders. The amendment says that the Motion be amended by deleting recommendations 1,2 and 3 on page 55 of the Report. To that extent, that part violets Standing Order No. 56(2), which is clearly to the effect that no amendment shall be permitted if, in the opinion of the Speaker, it represents a direct negation of the question proposed. The proposal to delete a resolution proposed by the Report is seeking to negate it. ... view
