• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: age that cannot rely on the old trainings. It is important that we move at par with the level of training that we need. If the Auditor-General is allowed to hire and train the staff whenever it is necessary, I think that will be a very good move and I want to support this Bill. Another important thing is that there is a lot of real or perceived corruption at the county level. We are hearing a lot about corruption in our counties. A lot of nothing is being done with the funds that have been allocated to our counties. ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: enhance the performance of all the county governments. The counties will be audited at the right time and any decisions and corrections made at the right time. In my view, therefore, I think that is very important and I support this Bill. The independence of the Office of the Auditor-General and the fact that it is going to be a body corporate means that it will purely operate on its own, make its own decisions, sue and be sued and gives it a lot of credibility. It is now the responsibility of this Parliament to make sure that we oversee ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am also a Member of the Select Committee on Regional Integration and I stand to support the adoption of the Report. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Initially, when we started discussions on a monetary union, most of us were a bit skeptical, because we did not understand that there are several issues that surrounded the establishment of the East African Community Monetary Union (EACMU). But then after involving several stakeholders and being taken through different aspects, we found that there were difficulties with it. Eventually, we came to an agreement that it is very important that we go for the EACMU. Now, looking at the trade that we have amongst East African states, and looking at Uganda in terms of trade, Uganda is very much ahead. ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: together. In all these things, we had an opportunity to invite experts to talk to us and most of the concerns we raised were ironed out. If we look at the benefits that we are going to get as East Africa, it has already been mentioned by most of my colleagues that there will benefits from trade, taxes, and trade across East Africa. Therefore, we may not understand the whole lot of it, but in the long-run, Kenya stands to benefit. When it comes to trade and manufacturing, we are going to have a very large market for our goods, ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I support and urge that we adopt the Report. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to make a few comments on the Address of the President just before he left for The Hague on 6th October. In the Address, the President meant to relay to the Republic of Kenya, through the National Assembly, his decision that he would make it to The Hague. Besides letting us know of his decision, he also touched on several other issues. I would like to congratulate him because before he made that decision, many people were very worried about what choice he would make. However, whatever choice he made, was ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: The President also touched on the sovereignty of Kenya. Another thing that he touched on was terrorism and other developments that have been undertaken by the Government, mostly the building of schools, roads and railways. The last issue I think he touched on was the resettlement of the IDPs. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: If we look at the sovereignty of Kenya, it worked well because he divorced himself from the nation and went to The Hague as an individual. Thus he did not make the whole nation and the people of Kenya to be tried together with him. For that reason, I will say that the sovereignty of Kenya was never in question. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: However, when it comes to the issue of terrorism, I want to say that the Government of Kenya, or the Jubilee Government, has not done much. This is with regard to the continued stay of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Somalia. I think most of the people, especially we in CORD, feel that it is high time that we stopped the continued presence of our people, or soldiers, in Somalia because many people have lost their lives. The Government has only attempted to post more soldiers to Somalia. view
