• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of value for money for projects. If, for example, you put up a police post, you have spent Sh2 million, it is properly done and completed, but there are no officers, that becomes an audit query. Is it the Member of Parliament or the NG-CDF Committee that will provide police to man those stations? I am speaking because these are the things that have led to very high attrition rate of Members of this House. Within five years, Members here will be accused of all sorts of things and defending their seats will become very ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The NG-CDF Board has issues to answer. I remember the issue of ICT hubs that came up. The proposal to have ICT hubs is a good idea, but it goes to our constituencies. They have said we cannot do these hubs in schools because in third term you cannot access schools. That is a circular by the ministry. Again, we do not have enough places where we can put up these computers. I have tried to ask the board to allow us, instead of doing four hubs, we do two and the money for two is used to at least ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation. This is a problem that is not specific to this particular officer. It is a something that happens in our ministries. Many times we get roadside declarations, circulars or memos that purport to issue instructions on how businesses should be conducted and yet, they have not been given to this House through proper regulations. I believe that there is a loophole that should be addressed. We know that the House not only passes Bills, but also gives ministries opportunity to make regulations and gazette them. Unfortunately, what is ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The Statutory Instruments Act and the Constitution are very clear. When it comes to issues to do with declarations, circulars and memos, they are basically supposed to be brought to this House. We need to find a way by which circulars that have effect of law that make people behave in certain ways are brought to this House. That is not happening and it is a big problem. I have noted that for a while. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I also rise to support the Motion, which is basically seeking to assist Members to carry out the very important role of legislation as spelt out in our Constitution. As Members legislate, of course, they can do that through committees and many times by themselves out of their own research. So, they can come up with laws or even amend laws so that they can assist the public to carry out their businesses as expected. This Motion basically seeks to help Members to have their Motions brought here for debate in ... view
