• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, it is the issue of who manages the warehouses. We are coming up with a situation where all the important produce from our farmers goes into warehouses to be managed there. Have we thought about the vetting of the people that will be managing those warehouses? We have allowed the authority to give those licences to the county governments which is okay because, within the law, this is a devolved function. But what kind of vetting systems have we put in place so that we are sure that the people who will be managing our produce in the warehouses ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I also rise to support this Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee chaired by my good friend, Hon. Kathuri. This is a very important Committee. It is new and is chaired by an independent Member meaning that there is no political influence in the decisions that he makes. They have done a thoroughly good job. This Report on the audit of the NG-CDF within Nairobi County is important because it assists us to make decisions in the future. Coming up with a Report, presenting it here and clearly interrogating what ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Service (NPS). The Members can put up facilities at the request of the public, but the staffing of the facilities is not the responsibility of the Member. When a query like that is posted out there, Members look like they have done something wrong, but they have done their work and built the facilities. I saw a query about why we built a dormitory for two years. The dormitory is worth Kshs5 million and the money is not enough. We hardly have enough money. It makes sense to build half of it in one year and then the other half ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support the recommendations that money should be released even if it is over Kshs10 million. I also recommend that we make sure that the AIEs are received within three days and release money from the National Treasury very quickly so that the NG-CDF can work. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I propose that we create a guideline of the NG-CDF on staffing and salaries for our staff. That is important. We need to determine the minimum bursary that is allocated to our children and ensure that the NG-CDF stops guiding constituencies on projects. In 2015, there was a guided project of dispensaries which failed because that money never took off, but each constituency had committed money for three or four projects. Again, we have the ICT problem. We are told to commit to four ICT centres yet we do not have the places to put them up. Going forward, the ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Report. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. First, I want to begin by thanking Hon. Kositany for coming up with this timely Motion. Clearly, this is one of the problems we are facing as a nation in managing our educational institutions. The first thing I want to point out is that, for quality learning to take place, there is need to have enough space for classes, offices, laboratories, and all sorts of amenities. More importantly, we need space where our learners in early childhood all the way up to secondary school can exercise their bodies and play. Different ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: takes advantage of an institution. The Government has policy on land where we can acquire land for construction of roads and for expansion of institutions. In my constituency, when a dam was put up, people were moved because that would serve the public. It is important that when this policy is set up, it displaces people who are near schools for purposes of providing quality education and space for expansion of our schools. There is a programme the Government has of setting up technical training centres in our constituencies. The target is to have 290 of them. The minimum requirement ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: (Kathiani, WDM-K) asked the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology whether he could explain the policy regarding administration of and funding of internal examinations in public schools and provide the total capitation per student on internal examinations in both primary and secondary schools. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also contribute on this important Bill to amend the Constitution to change the dates of elections in the country. view
