• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We should cut our travel budget and advertising. Every time you open a newspaper, we know those Cabinet Secretaries and the Principal Secretaries. I do not know why they serve us with their faces every day; why they continue to put their passport photographs on newspapers every day when we know who they are. They should get on with the work of running the Government and avoid pull-outs and advertisements. If you want to be covered by the media, you should be covered in the news doing the work that we want you to do. Do not give us a ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On retreats, it is time we went more to Government premises and avoided retreats in private spaces which are a bit costly. There is no reason to have flowers in our public offices. We should save the money for more important issues. We should save the money for more important issues. Another point is on procurement and value for money. The reason we cannot develop as fast as we want to is because we are procuring at 10 times the price we should be procuring items. We should procure items at market rates. We should go for the cheapest that ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I have a couple of points I want to raise on key Budget items. The Judiciary is one of them. The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee looked at the Budget of the Judiciary, which is now set at Kshs17.309 billion. We strongly feel that the Judiciary should get Kshs1 billion more. Kshs500 million will be for Recurrent Expenditure because of tribunals. We have 12 tribunals that are now going to be part of the Judiciary framework. We also have electoral matters and disputes that judges and the Judiciary need to start preparing on. On Development Expenditure, we are still pursuing ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On the point about ongoing projects, I agree with the Liaison Committee that we, indeed, need a list of projects that have not been completed. We are in a country that has a lot of half projects. We have half markets, half hospitals, half schools and half roads. It is time we completed these “halves”, so that the utility that is meant for these projects can be achieved for the country. I am particularly worried that the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs has not received an allocation directly. The National Treasury should move with time and the ... view

• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 63 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “but” appearing immediately after the words “been granted” and substituting therefor the word “and”. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a grammatical error. We are changing the words there so that the grammar is better. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 66 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraph (a). The amendment identified there is to delete an unnecessary provision as the contents of sub-clause (1) are adequately covered under the rest of the paragraphs in the sub-clause. So, we do not see the need for the repetition. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 68 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “supervised by” immediately after the words “Service, or”. The justification is to allow paralegals to be supervised by accredited bodies to provide legal aid and assistance. The paralegals in legal aid service scheme will be very important because we may not have sufficient number of lawyers across the whole country to provide the service. Where paralegals offer these services, they must be accredited and get legal advice and assistance where necessary. The legal profession in this law ... view
