• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chair, I was rising in support of the Chair, and also, Hon. Millie Odhiambo in these amendments. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: I agree with the Chair’s proposal but at the same time, I support what Hon. Millie Odhiambo has said that we should at least, have specification of the gender somewhere to avoid a situation whereby these children are mixed up, which may lead to the abuse that we are avoiding. I am however happy that the Chair has agreed to accommodate the amendment at some point before the Bill is concluded. view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the Approval of the Mediated Version of the County Governments Additional Allocation Bill (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2021). view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: From the grants that have been given, I note that Kirinyaga County – where I come from – will benefit with Ksh297 million from the total conditional grants for the national Government revenue; with an additional conditional grant of leasing of medical equipment of Ksh153,297 million, which is given across all the counties.

The county governments take their sweet time before they implement projects. Sometimes they are also used for political expediency. There are no clear oversight structures that are usually laid out on how to spend this money. When these projects are being implemented, the county governments should clearly indicate that they do not emanate from the normal budgetary allocations. They should always be pegged and clearly marked as donor funds so that people can differentiate ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The projects that are implemented by the national Government using the donor funds are done in a very straight and effective way. For example, we have the Kerugoya-Kutus Bulk Water Project, which is also connected with the sewerage system which is being implemented by the national Government using donor funds. That project has really been fast-tracked. However, other projects that are implemented through the conditional grants to the county government lag behind. As legislators, we should think through how these conditional grants from the national Government revenue should be implemented. We ought to have legislation whereby we have a stake. ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I beg to support the Motion. I rest my contribution. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. While it might not be the right time for the amendment of the elections laws, I seek to allay the fears of some of the Members of this House. This law can only be applicable where it is possible. If the electoral cycle has already started, the law will be applied only in areas where it is applicable. However, in areas that the law will already be overtaken by events, it will only be applicable after the law comes into effect. It might not affect any process that ... view
