• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important that the county governments must be encouraged to engage in local or domestic borrowing so that even the local banks can also participate in funding the new and young county governments. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, concerning loan guarantees to the county governments, it should be noted that it will be after careful consultations that loan guarantees to county governments will be considered and approved; only when the funds are required for capital projects and not funds for salaries, water and electricity bills. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On Clause 78, the Kenya Revenue Authority is now mandated to be more serious because the resources required by the 47 counties must be collected by this Authority. Before I move on, let me recognize the good work that is being executed by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The Authority must devolve services to all the 47 counties so that they will also participate in the collection of taxes. To realize adequate collection on taxes, one area that the Authority must direct itself is to seal off where fake currencies have been made and circulated in this country. Cases of ... view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to conclude, I urge the Minister to make sure that he will not continue to delay the release of funds to our primary and secondary schools because continued delay of these funds will compromise quality learning in our schools. The performance in our schools at the end of this year is not likely to be better if funds are not released immediately. view
• 19 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I fully support the Bill. view
• 7 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for the answer that he has given, could he indicate to the House the amount of funds that were allocated to the two boreholes pledged by the Prime Minister? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister has talked about the regulatory committee that has been formed. Could he inform this House the membership of this committee, its mandate and when it is likely to start operations? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, arising from the Statement given by the Prime Minister, it is notable that the recently experienced floods and landslides destroyed tea, maize and banana plantations in various parts of this country. Lari was one of the areas that were affected. What is the Government doing to bail out the affected farmers from this predicament? view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this chance also to contribute to this very critical legislation. On the amendment to the Energy Act, I note that it has been difficult sometimes when the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) personnel are supplying power in certain areas. Plot or land owners have refused to allow the power lines to pass through their farms. At times, this has been caused by the KPLC not giving compensation in good time. I wish to be heard saying that the attitude by the KPLC must be changed if, indeed, it wants land owners ... view
• 6 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: We have even seen board room infightings. Spare money has been used unfairly by that Commission. Now that the Commission has not been able to conclude the assignment that it was given by the new Constitution, I would propose that being the first Commission, it must be given, at least, two months to complete its work. In future, those to be appointed must be people of impeccable character, so that they will be able to measure up to the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. view
