• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a timed Motion and it appears to be very popular in the House. I would like to request you to use your discretion under Standing Order No.1 to enable more Members contribute to it. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a bit concerned about the appointment of the Deputy Controller of Budget because we are saying that he will be recruited through a competitive process and appointed by the Controller of Budget. How can the Controller of Budget and not the PSC appoint his deputy? This is a very senior position and in case the Office of the Controller of Budget falls vacant, then the Deputy Controller of Budget assumes that position. That should be replaced. That responsibility should lie with the PSC. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is just a quick comment. I am in support of the entire Bill. I just want to request the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade not to be fast in dismissing amendments brought by other members. If you look at the amendment brought by Hon. Mutura under Clause 7 compared with the New Clause 19A, you will find that it recommends penalties and enriches them. view
• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Personally, I am really reluctant about the appointment of the Deputy Controller of Budget by the Controller of Budget. These are officers in the same office. Therefore, it requires an independent office that should be neutral and impartial to make this appointment. Otherwise, this is likely to create infighting among members of that office. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second the Potato Produce and Marketing Bill. The Committee has comprehensively studied and scrutinised this Bill and reached a conclusion. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. I support the Petition. Being a resident of Samburu County I know where Murramur is located. It is actually in the midst of community habitation. There are very many public utilities that have been developed there. The community has been allocated land there and that makes it difficult for military personnel to carry out any military exercise. So, I think it is just proper for that land to be reversed and returned to the community. view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: By extension and I wish the relevant Committee hears me out, I come from Samburu East and this is one area that has really been affected by activities carried out by military personnel. The Government allocated over 83,000 acres of land and it was gazetted for use by military forces. I wish the relevant Committee will carry out investigations to establish whether I am misleading the House. One major problem that we have is that they have gone beyond the gazetted area and constructed military camps without the knowledge of the community. Given that land in Samburu County is demarcated ... view
• 8 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Two, when military personnel carry out their exercises they leave the fields without clearing them to the extent that a lot of unexploded ordinances are left behind. It is a huge tract of land used for grazing and when the herdsmen come into contact with them they get hurt. This is the case and yet those concerned do not take the responsibility of either taking those injured to hospital or compensating them. I think it is important that the relevant Committee investigates to actually establish what is happening there because the community is really affected. view
