• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Point number one is that the issue of the public wage bill is actually being exaggerated and misused. It is being used to cause divisions in the House. That is because the ways they are suggesting as solutions to the wage bill are exactly those that were suggested by Aaron in the wilderness, when they were on their way to Canaan land. He said they should go back to Misri. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: People would like to see us going back to the old Constitution. When this country had only 210 constituencies, we did not develop. Why did we not develop? It is because corruption was “eating” people in the country. Has that corruption been healed? No! So, the first thing that we need to do is to address the issue of corruption, without protecting people just because they belong to the same ethnic groups as us. We have got to reach a point where we call a spade a spade. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The second point I would like to discuss on this particular Report is the one on generating resources to work with. This country has been blessed of late. There are a lot of opportunities that have come up. There is a lot of oil, coal and minerals but nobody is talking about fast-tracking the exploitation of those additional resources in order to help this country. We need to look elsewhere. If we think in the old way, we cannot implement the new Constitution. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is one very worrying trend which is that of getting easy answers to complicated problems.

Before, only a few people had access to the resources of this country and, therefore, they could tap them at will and use the money the way they wanted. Now, when they try to do the same tapping, they realise some ... view

• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The issue of reversing the counties and devolution is one that should never be imagined of. We cannot afford to go back to where we came from. So, we are blaming the counties sometimes for no reason. They are experiencing the same problems we are experiencing. Sometimes in this House, we even find ourselves not sure of what to do. The counties should also be given time and an enabling environment to actually evolve the systems of accountability; so that they can account for the resources they are given. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in conclusion, I would like to say that we should start thinking like one nation and begin looking for solutions together. We should not use diversionary tactics to divide the House and lead people in the wrong direction. This country can survive if we work together and build general consensus on issues of national importance like the wage bill. But we should not say that some people should go and others remain. Nobody should go and nobody should remain. We should all be together sorting out our problems together and this nation will go ahead. view
