• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: and Names”. I think the names have not been well captured; they will need to come out very clearly; that is the names we are talking about. That is if we are talking about giving people titles. Who should be referred to as “honourable”, “Senator”, His Excellency and so on? view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to appreciate that resources, as the Constitution stands, were devolved to the counties but power was never. I think this is what our brothers have never got clearly. More often than not, you will find that when the national Government, through the Division of Revenue Bill, shares money between itself and county governments, the governors say that this is what their government has given. Instead, he is supposed to say “this is what I received from the national Government for this county”. He is supposed to be held accountable for the resources. This is ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: render; this will also eliminate confusion in project implementation. This is where the biggest challenge is. If we are able to sit in the County Development Board--- It is not about who is biggeror who is smaller. Now that it will be chaired by the Senate,it does not mean that the Senator is more senior than the governor. This is not the case because everybody has to play a role. Once we harmonize our roles--- Let those who will implement development at various stages bring on board the input of various stakeholders, and know that this is how they want ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I think you will also need to amend the Bill because we do not have a Vice- President, yet we have been talking about one. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on devolving resources to the various counties, what is coming out very clearly is that we might end up creating what we call blocks, where we have tribal enclaves especially in areas where we have many ethnic groups living. An example is Trans Nzoia, which is my county. Some areas have been marginalized since Independence, more so, my constituency. Just as the hon. Member for Marsabit said, tarmac ends in his area; tarmac ends just before my constituency begins and the rest of it--- view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to continue. This amendment Bill is about the National Flag, Emblems and Names Act and connected purposes; we are talking about flying the flag on our vehicles. You find that more often than not, when people fly the flag within the various areas and accompanied by sirens, the Kenyan public knows that an important person is passing around. It has been used more often than not for intimidation purposes. We want those who are going to fly the flag to fly it with responsibility, so that at the end of the ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The flag that is going to be flown on the vehicles of the President, the Deputy President, the Speaker of the Senate and the Attorney-General, will people know that this is the President or the Attorney-General who is passing? When we have multiple flags, they create confusion. You are talking of 47 flags within a country congregating within a certain area. What happens especially in our City is that we experience a lot of traffic jams and more often than not, inconvenience many Kenyans in their day to day activities. So, one of the aims of this is also to ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support this Motion for the appointment of Florence Nyokabi Wachira, and the rejection of Abdillahi Alawy. I want to thank the Committee for doing a good job, in that it has talked about Abdillahi Alawy as having not been a Kenyan citizen. Secondly, his social life seems to have informed the Committee on the decision it made. view
