• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member is perfectly in order. He has nothing to withdraw because he has not named any particular Member of this Parliament. So, he has nothing to withdraw. He just talked in general. It is perfectly in order. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Nakushukuru, Mhe. Naibu Spika kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nami niichangie Hoja hii. Ni wazi kwamba lugha ya Kiswahili inatumika wakati wowote. Inatumika ofisini, katika biashara, kwa mashule na sehemu zinginezo. Haka kama mtu hakuhitimu kwa masomo, bado anaifahamu lugha ya Kiswahili kuliko Kiingereza. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu tuitafsiri Katiba yetu na sheria zingine ili Wakenya wote wafaidike. Katiba yetu inasema kwamba ni lazima wananchi wahusishwe katika mipango yote ambayo inawahusu. Kwa hivyo, Bunge ina sababu ya kuwahusisha wananchi kama tunavyosema katika Kiingereza, public participation . Inakuwa muhimu kwa wananchi kutoa maoni yao. Lakini kwa sababu haya yote yameandikwa katika ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. There is absolutely nothing out of order. I just want to seek your indulgence. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to seek your indulgence and guidance. For the last three sittings, we have been debating the President‘s speech. I noted that it has been allocated four days. Today should be the fourth day. Some of us who have been here for the three sittings have not had the opportunity to contribute. We do not blame the Chair. I do know that some of us have not had the opportunity to contribute because of the numbers. I seek your indulgence that even before the Mover replies, we are given at least two minutes so that we can ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to commend the Presidential Address and more specifically for the public apology that he has given for the wrongs committed against Kenyans. I am aware that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) was mandated to investigate historical injustices that were committed against Kenyans from 1963 up to 2008 but it should be noted that these atrocities continued even thereafter. I know in the year 2009, security personnel were deployed in Samburu East where they confiscated over 4,000 head of cattle, transported them in military lorries to the neighbouring districts and distributed them to ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: In the Report, 94 hospitals have been identified in the 47 counties to benefit from that fund. I want to appeal to the Government that there are church mission-sponsored hospitals particularly operating in the rural areas that are supporting the rural communities. For instance, we have Wamba Mission Hospital which serves the entire Samburu County, parts of Isiolo and Marsabit counties. It will be important, because they have adequate facilities, if the Government will consider seconding doctors and nurses so that they can continue providing services. Lastly, I want to register my appreciation for the concept brought by the Jubilee ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, while you use your discretion to go by the list on the screen, I wish you can also take cognisance of the fact that some Members had logged in and they never got an opportunity to speak in the previous Motion. I urge that they be considered in the second Motion. Otherwise, Members could sit here for the whole session without getting an opportunity to contribute. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If I heard it well, the amendment is to delete (h). I think I am opposed to that because chairpersons and members of constitutional commissions are people who need to be recognised if they have been put in constitutional offices. So, I am really opposed to that. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank hon. Washiali for donating one minute to me. I want to say one thing; under Clause 9, which talks about general powers of the Auditor-General and specifically talks about accounts and recruitment of staff, I think there is need to emphasise that this office needs to be given power to recruit adequate staff so as to carry out their functions effectively and efficiently. We can see that they are dealing with public funds that go to so many sectors; we are considering the county governments, 47 of them; we are ... view
