• 5 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start from the outset by supporting the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I really appreciate the expanded powers of the House in terms of looking at matters of budget in our country. The Committee has indeed used these powers very well to look at areas that the Executive might have left out and to confirm some of the programmes that the Executive have. I really congratulate the Committee for the long hours they took to come up with this Report and the amount of consultations that have gone into this ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, my apologies for the one minute delay. I want to support this Bill and I want to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill and to really support that a couple of laws are amended in this fashion every once a year. I support this law, especially the one dealing with urban cities, and the change of criteria to really cover more municipalities and urban cities in terms of the criteria that was passed by the law. I think that it is important that the criterion is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am also happy to participate in this debate of the Report and to congratulate the Committee led by my friend hon. Kajuju, who was, at one time, the Vice-Chair of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK). So, in terms of the matters around cross-border practice, I would want to believe that the Committee has actually dealt with it and it up to us to support this Report. view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The reason why I support the Report on regional integration is because of the comparison between what is happening in East Africa with what is happening in the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS). In East Africa, we need to move a bit faster in terms of integration. In ECOWAS in West Africa, students as early as Class VI and VII get a chance to travel to the countries in their region. As early as 14 or 15 years, you have had a chance to go to Lagos, Accra, and Sierra Leone. In this region of ours, and in ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: border by having members from other countries. I am yet to see a banana SACCO despite this being a region that has lots of bananas. There would, indeed, be a lot of work around the co-operative societies. As I wind up, I just want to reiterate what we say in Nyeri: “That to go is to see. To go to East Africa is to see more.” Let us support this Report, adopt it as a House and have an East African integrated community in line with His Excellency President Uhuru Pan-African approach, where we can have better regions and more ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to join the House in congratulating hon. Sakaja for bringing this Bill and seeing it through in what we would call a record time in terms of a Private Members’ Bill. This is actually one of the early Private Members’ Bills of this House. As I thank hon. Sakaja and also the Jubilee Coalition for the 30 per cent tool, I want to ask that we now go into the implementation. We are in a country where we pass good laws, say good things in this Chamber, but then the result on the ... view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: entity would have to reserve the categories that are going to be available for women, youth and those that are going to be available for persons with disability. More importantly, that our private sector does listen to this message by the House today and allows the young people credit and funds, so that when one gets a tender to supply products, then the private sector and the banks in particular, should give you sufficient loan to do that. So, it is just really to thank the House and hope that in terms of these economic laws, we see economic changes ... view
• 22 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Division of Revenue Bill as drafted. The reasons why I support this Bill are because the commitment for devolution in this country continues to be exhibited. This is only the second year of our devolution programme and so far, the funding has moved from Kshs190 billion which was shared last year, to Kshs226 billion. I think that is fairly good incremental changes that we are seeing in this country. In supporting the Division of Revenue Bill, I am also mindful of the lines that the Budget and Appropriations Committee, ... view
