• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I was so impressed when I looked at Dr. Isabela Nyambura Waiyaki, who is very qualified. I felt that even as we are looking for the two-thirds gender rule, if we had people that are qualified like Isabella, we would not have an issue with such an approval. In the past, people have been given opportunities without looking at the qualifications as we did. I am grateful that we gave the best to support the agenda of the NG-CDF and the four pillars of the President to ensure that development is being felt, not just in one region, but in ... view

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: They have the capacity to hit the road running because they already have the exposure of what the NG-CDF can do. When we conducted the interview, all of them in affirmation confirmed that they wish that the NG-CDF could be given more funds because of what it has done in the constituencies, which is felt everywhere. I want to agree with my colleagues who have said that some members who have served in these institutions were not competent and qualified. I am happy that under the chairmanship of my boss, we looked at the disability cases and we considered people ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me from the loud consultations. I was not being heard properly. We have had a chance of listening to all these people and I am so happy that George, Peter, Maria, Dr. Isabela, Abdiaziz and Robert are very qualified people. I want to encourage other committees to look at qualifications when conducting interviews like these because this negates the idea of ethnicity. Some of these people have had opportunity to serve at the national level without looking at where they are coming from. They need to look at somebody like Robert who ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Having acted for that period, I pray that Masese will be given an opportunity to continue serving so that he can drive the agenda without having to wait. We all know how sensitive the NG-CDF is to the Members of Parliament. It is the reason why most of us never come back to Parliament. They do not use the NG-CDF properly, the constituency managers mismanage the money or they are simply incompetent and have no capacity to use the money. That is not the mistake of the Member of Parliament. This is the function of management of the NG-CDF at ... view

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: for eight years. How unfair can a system be to an individual? Acting for eight years! We all know that when you are acting, just like Masese was acting, before you make any critical decision, you have to look over your shoulder to see who else is concerned about the decision. This happens before you make the hard decision a manager is supposed to make. When these names are approved, and I am urging the House to approve them because it is in our interest and the interest of the country, they will be able to make the hard decision ... view
