• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: situation, so that the people of Trans-Nzoia can have value for all the money that has been set aside. As for the money from the national Government to county governments, every coin must be accounted for. With regard to this, I urge our leadership in the county to know that they must be held accountable; they must be responsible to our people. This is because the people of Trans-Nzoia deserve the best and they must have value for their money. They elected everybody to office, and are watching and listening very carefully. Hon. Speaker, on the Kamukunji we had this ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to present a Public Petition by the residents of Trans Nzoia County on the irregular purchase of Trans Nzoia County Referral Hospital. I, The undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Trans Nzoia County, draw the attention of the House to the following. (i) That Article 227(1) requires that when a State organ, or any other public entity, contracts for goods or services, it shall do so in accordance with a system that is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost effective. (ii) That the County Government of Trans Nzoia, as a public procuring entity, ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: (vi) That the structure had recently been bought by persons close to the County Government for Kshs23 million, and it was immediately sold to the County Government for Kshs175 million. (vii) That the actions of the County Government have occasioned loss of public funds, thus denying the residents of the county much needed services. (iix) That the matter in respect of which this Petition is presented is not pending before any court of law. Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, directs that a special audit be conducted into ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I want to contribute to the Motion. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion, although I think it should not be a question of urging the Government to urgently put in place measures, that will ensure that all eligible Kenyans are duly registered and issued with National identity cards. Issue of identity cards to Kenyans is important; when it comes to people being given identity cards and they stay with waiting cards for a very long time I think this denies them opportunities to, for example, take up employment opportunities or join colleges. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is a ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: They are shouting as if they were in Kibera view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. Issuing of identity cards is very important; many Kenyans who have attained the age of 18 years and above, especially in rural Kenya--- One day, I found an old lady of about 70 years, who felt she should vote for me, but she had not gotten her identity card; she, therefore, could not participate in an election. This is a serious challenge because somebody who is more than 18 years of age has to produce an affidavit, which he swears as to why he is not able to get an identity care, yet we know ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: A large number of people was not able to participate in the last general election, because they did not have identity cards. More often than not you will find that officers who participate in issuing of identity cards do not have motor vehicles to be able to reach areas which they are supposed to reach. They are not well equipped to be able to deliver key services. These are the areas that need to be looked into. We purchase vehicles for police officers; I think even the officers who participate in issuing of identity cards need to be facilitated; they ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have also had Kenyans who were internally displaced through fights. Some Kenyans have been evicted from forested areas and other areas, and have been displaced to other countries. Such Kenyans have a right to come back to their country and be issued with IDs, so that they can also engage in meaningful activities. We need to look at the issue of issuance of IDs holistically. We need to bring an amendment. Instead of urging the Government, we should resolve, as a House, that the Government meets its various obligations; measures should be put in place ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Basically I want to seek a clarification from the Chair because you know there have been some myths about people with albinism. The hon. Member for Kitutu Chache North talked of his constituents with albinism disappearing and being taken to Tanzania due to demand for their skin and other things. On the issue of albinism what we need to know is--- Do we have any structured arrangement for identification and management of these cases? This is because you will find that it is not just a question of being exposed to ultra violet (UV) lights ... view
