• 5 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my remarks on the Annual Report by the Controller of Budget on County Governments Budget Implementation Review for the Financial Year 2016/2017. I have had an opportunity to go through the Report and as my colleagues have said, there are many issues that have been raised. If we look at the idea of devolution, it was put in place to cure the skewed development of the country since independence. Then there were political considerations. If you did not support the Government of the day or if you opposed ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my comments on the Petition that is before the House. First, generally we have agreed that any Petition that is brought before the House should not be dismissed. We should give everybody an opportunity to present their cases to the relevant Committees and come up with the reasons as to whether we should support the Petition or not. Secondly, the issue of CBA at the universities has been a long standing one. It is very important that we look at the issues that they have and do ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Majority Leader to speak on my behalf? First, I do not know where I went to collect “ bonga points” to come back limping. I have never met this hon. Senator. Therefore, I do not know how he knows that I am limping and for whatever reasons. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Secondly, the truth should be told. The country is in this situation because of the two leaders of the Jubilee Party. The two leaders did not believe in devolution. Therefore, even as the counties starve, it is because they do not believe in devolution. They will never believe in it and that is why they cannot even ensure there is disbursement of funds. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am still on a point of order. If the elections were held properly; if the Jubilee Government had not interfered with the elections and stolen our victory, we would not have been in the situation we are in today. Let them clean their house and put it in order so that the country can move forward. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. First, I support it because it is important. In supporting this important Motion, I want to agree with my colleagues that Kenya is endowed with a lot of resources. These resources will benefit many people if they are used prudently. The FPE programme was a key achievement of the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government. It was an uphill task when it was first launched. We were not sure it would succeed. It succeeded and many children now have access to education. It is important ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: They can access those services if we manage our resources properly. Teachers should be allowed to manage schools. They should not be involved in the management of funds. They might be tempted to use the money for purposes that are not intended. I support this Motion. We can hire a bursar to help us manage our resources in a proper manner. view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this chance. What happened on Sunday was life threatening. It was a very serious thing, seeing a whole leader being held up high, on the ground, yet this same man was carrying a pistol. I saw it with my own eyes. I almost thought I was dying before I got to the people of Kisumu. It is a very serious thing. It should not be repeated. I cannot see a whole Member of Parliament for Homa Bay taunting--- view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The Chair of the Party for Homa Bay County. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to convey my condolences to the family of Hon. Otuoma as a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and being the Deputy Chair of our party. I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences. I may not understand the level of the loss, but I know it is a great loss to lose a child more so a son in the African set up. So, we join him and we want to urge all Members to support him during this difficult time. view
