• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: not be done on academics only; it should be done based on other issues or other abilities that the students have. Secondly, we know of situations where students who perform poorly even commit suicide because of the ranking. So, that has led to many students and parents to be negatively affected. The students should be encouraged to pass the examinations and the uttermost goal should be getting the highest marks, but not being the best student in the nation. So, if that is done across the board, even parents will be encouraged. Some parents get discouraged when their children do ... view

• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to thank hon. Gumbo for bringing this Motion to the House. It is very important that we save the CDF. Much as we know that there should be only two levels of devolution, namely the national level and the county level, we should find a way of amending the Act, so that CDF is also delegated to us directly by the national Government. I do not think that, as it is, the CDF is supposed to be allocated to the county governments, as the governors claim. Secondly, the county governments are still ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: country today is as a result of the CDF. I am here, courtesy of the CDF. Somebody I know, whom I live with, worked so well with the CDF that when the time came for me to contest the seat for woman representative in my county, it became apparent that I would win. Most of the people told me: “We are going to vote for you because of the way your husband used the CDF. We believe that you are going to do the same.” view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, the CDF has done a lot for this country. We must support it at whatever cost. I know that there are issues; there are areas where the CDF has not been used well. There are some Members of Parliament who have gotten themselves so much into the disbursement and projects of the CDF – which should not have been the case. You can just provide oversight and still achieve a lot. I believe that there are a few areas which need correction, especially on how some hon. Members have related to their respective funds or have utilised the fund. ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: If you go to the rural areas today and talk against the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) or say that it has been scrapped, and that we are going to rely on our governors then that will be bad. You know the issues that are going on at the county level at this hour. This is one thing that is supported across by every person with knowledge of it. It is important that we make corrections. The CDF is here to stay. Thank you. view
• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: It is okay. Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the new Bill. It is very important as a country that if we want to move forward and help the county governments, we should not sit back and wait after so many mistakes have been made, and then run all over and cry foul over the mistakes that have been made. Any institution should be run by a very important and strong audit unit. Kenya is a National Government and, therefore, it is important that the Office of the Auditor- General is strong. If the Office of the Auditor-General ... view
