• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Constituency Innovation Hub project is consistent with Section 49 of National Government Constituencies Development Fund Act that provides that the Board may consider part-funding of a project financed from sources other than the Fund as long as the financiers or donors of the project have no objections, provided that the part-funding availed pursuant to this Act shall go to a defined unit or any part thereof or phase of the project. For the project of this magnitude to succeed, parties involved need to engage further and consult more regularly with users and other stakeholders. It has not ... view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On the criteria for disbursement of funds to constituencies, due to piecemeal release of funds, the Board has been facing challenges in meeting the constituency financial demands. In this regard, the following disbursement criteria have been adopted: First, priority is to constituency requisitions with respect to past financial years. Second, priority is to constituencies whose proposals have been approved and therefore qualify for funds for Financial Year 2017/2018. Out of the funds received from the National Treasury, Kshs14,000,000,000 has been disbursed to the constituencies and the secretariat as follows: (a) Kshs3,945,166,470 has been disbursed to the constituencies with respect to ... view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Yes. I want to clarify. From the response we have done, the approval is not mandatory. As I have said, there are 244 constituencies which have already requested for funding. They have put their proposals to the Board and they have been approved. So, it is upon Members. They have a minimum of up to four hubs. We have approved for two in my constituency. For those who do not want them, it is not a must. When something of this magnitude comes in, there is what we call “the devil is in the details”. We do not want you ... view

• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I also oppose the amendment. If you look at the motive of the amendment, you will see that it does not add value. Those of us who do not have historical amnesia know that in the history of the last quarter of the Century, the two Ministers for Finance who performed so well, that even the base interest rate dropped to 9 per cent, were Hon. Simeon Nyachae and the late Hon. Mwiraria. They never studied economics or finance and budgeting processes, but they did a very good job. Do not lock out people from specific jobs. This ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: but since it has already been removed, let us not allow this amendment. It will mess up everything. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The people you are trying to lock out are the best. That is what I meant. view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to convey my condolences to the family and the people of Murang’a as well as Kenyans in general. Those days when that happened, I had an experience of the force of who Matiba was on 19thJuly 1992. It is the day I was returning from the USA to come and contest the December elections that year. I was not able to reach home the same day. We slept somewhere near Embu because the State that time never wanted Matiba to go beyond Rupingazi River. The entire traffic was blocked. You could ... view
