• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I was beginning to feel that maybe my card was invisible. I thank you for this opportunity. I also support the President on this one. In the past, we had situations where both commissions and Government organisations were allowed to invest money and they invested it in bad ways and the Government has lost a lot of money. So, I support it because there are two things that make a lot of sense. The money should not be immediately required. That means they should not invest money that is required for their purposes, and ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. I also support this Petition. I think it is in good taste and it will go a long way in ensuring that the rights of these teachers are protected. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: My concern is about the committee that is receiving this Petition. I would like to urge them that they should do a thorough job once they receive it. I am raising this issue because in the last Parliament, I issued a Petition to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that was asking about the compensation of parents and guardians of the victims of the Kyanguli fire tragedy. I have received a report from that Committee and it is shocking because the conclusion is that the Committee should invite the Attorney-General to tell them why there was no compensation. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: When committees receive these petitions, they have to be thorough and give a conclusion that makes sense. We bring petitions because there is a problem and if you give a conclusion about an invitation, that means you did not do the work you were expected to do. Therefore, I would like to urge that Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to relook into my Petition on behalf of the victims of Kyanguli Fire Tragedy and give us a report, which will make sense. Not one that says that they should invite people. They had the opportunity to invite and ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion that we adopt the Third Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee led by Hon. Kathuri Murungi. This Committee is doing a tremendous job considering that they brought a Report on 17 constituencies and they are now dealing with seven constituencies of Kisumu. This debate could not have come at a better time because currently the media is talking about corruption. Our Head of State has clearly stated that we need to fight this vice together. I was shocked to realise that in this ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: to play oversight and ensure that public funds are properly utilised and no money is lost. As we discuss these issues, it is good to point out… I read a report in the media which is very interesting because suddenly when it comes to bad things happening in the constituencies, they are named after the Member. Suddenly Kathiani Constituency becomes Robert Mbui and the things you see and hear are to do with theft. They will say MPs have fleeced, raided and stolen. We need to set the record straight. What is the role of MPs in the NG-CDF? There ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: There is an issue of unsurrendered imprest and I have seen it in a lot of our constituencies. I think the district accountants also have a role to play. This is because the money goes through the district treasury. How does the district accountant give imprest to the fund manager and before it is surrendered, they give another one? Honestly, I think that is a bit criminal. Some of these things should not even reach here. If somebody has not been able to account for the money they were given, the NG-CDF Act and the Public Finance Management Act are ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: There is an issue of incomplete projects. Sometimes, because of the need for the money in the NG-CDF and you have so many projects that need to be funded, you may choose one of the big projects and fund it in two phases; this year and the next year. If you fund it in one year and you do half of it, the auditor comes at the end of the year and starts complaining that this project is incomplete and that it was not given enough money. If you had funded a project fully for Sh5 million and it is ... view
