• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Nobody else should suffer like them. If it were not for them, even the current Constitution that we are fighting over would not be there. It is important that Kenyans, especially MPs and others, recognise those people because if we do not do it ourselves, then we are not thinking about this country. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: So, I support and look forward to such recognition. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the report except that I think the committees are too many. I would suggest that we have a national committee and constituency committees. This will make it easier, as far as implementation of these projects are concerned, a case study that should be used is the CDF format. This Fund was set to ensure that at least there is some development in areas that had been left out since Independence. The irony is, as we speak now, there is still inequality in the distribution of resources in this country. In fact, ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: I hope my colleagues would just listen. They will get a chance to contribute. Maybe they do not realise how much we are left behind. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: I would like to advise my colleague. I believe the Constitution set out 14 counties. The additional counties, I would say, are unconstitutional. They are not provided in the Constitution. The addition was actually meant to frustrate the benefits that the 14 counties were supposed to get. There is also the issue of stalled projects. Some of the reasons for stalling of projects are intentional. For example, in my constituency there were projects which were to be carried out, including construction of bridges, but they stalled. Contractors are not doing their work. There is something that is happening that is ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: has not been allocated.’ But I know this is money that has been set aside by the Constitution. Where has it gone? That is the question. Why are there big projects in developed areas as far as water, electricity, infrastructure and health are concerned? Why are they getting this money and we do not get the little money that is supposed to benefit pastoralist communities? There is a very unsatisfactory way of distributing resources in this country. I would like to request the Chairman of the Committee to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury accounts for what is happening ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research regarding the summary dismissal of CPA Spencer Sankale Ololchike by the Maasai Mara University Council. Hon. Speaker, CPA Spencer Sankale Ololchike has been serving as a senior accountant at the Maasai Mara University, a distinguished member of the 23,000 strong Institute of Certified Public accountants of Kenya and supporter of Amnesty International Kenya. He was dismissed from employment in a letter signed by the Council Chairman on 17th June 2021 following alleged actions of gross ... view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: requires being condemned in the context of a whistle blower and the fight against corruption in the country. Hon. Speaker, it is on account of this concern that I seek your indulgence to order an inquiry by the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (i) Inquire into the status of investigations on corruption in the Maasai Mara University and a probe to establish the role of the current university council in cover-up and protection of former university officials implicated in corruption, especially those implicated in the famous “Mara heist” matter; (ii) inquire into the circumstances that led ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I vote yes. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am greatly honored to get this opportunity to also contribute to this historic Motion. The history of this country is full of instances and constitutional moments when this country could have put things right. Just before Independence, we had the Lancaster House Conference. That was the conference that divided Kenya in the middle, when land rights were destroyed. During that conference, land that was supposed to go back to the people who had been deprived of those lands, was abrogated and denied by the independent Government. So, that was the first time the ... view
