• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also like to support this Motion. First of all, I would like to congratulate the Committee for the work well done. I know it was a very tedious job because most hon. Members sat long hours to make sure that this Budget came out in good time. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like us to realize that there are many gains that have been made from the Constitution. Before, we could not even know the details of the Budget. The Minister could just walk into the House and read out the Budget. However, with the new Constitution, we have an opportunity as Members of Parliament to interrogate the figures and make recommendations. It is because of that, that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade managed to make some savings which have gone a long way in supporting other very important aspects of the Budget. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to point out that irrigation is very important--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Irrigation in schools should have been a compromise, to me, because teachers will spend more time on it and things like green houses. So, I thank the Committee very much for reallocating that money to other areas. That does not belong to that docket. This issue has been pointed out by several Members. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Another aspect that I would like to support this Budget for relates to the SACCOs. This will go a long way in supporting our youth and women in table-banking. Those are two aspects of the Budget that will do a lot of good to the economic empowerment of our women. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The other issue I would have loved the Budget and Appropriations Committee to look into very keenly is with regard to day secondary schools. That is because there are very many poor students all over this country. If there was an allocation for day schools, it would have helped them because they cannot afford school fees. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that the Kshs500 million should have been allocated for sanitary towels. I am just adding my voice to the speakers who have spoken on the same issue. That is a very important aspect of a student’s life and, more so, the young girls who come from very poor backgrounds. This is an area that should have been looked into. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that did not make me very happy is the issue of fishermen. Support of fishermen is very important because it adds a lot of value to the fishing areas. An allocation in this area would have gone a long way in improving our fishing industry and the income that is generated from the industry. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: My request also goes to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The President stated yesterday that a lot of money has been allocated to this Ministry, but we still see many accidents occurring almost every day. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure should do something to ensure that the number of accidents that occur in this country is minimized. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On drugs and alcohol, we cannot continue pumping money into that area without seeing real results. Something should be done by the people concerned so that, once the Budget has been allocated, it should go a long way to make some difference in our youth and, more so, on issues related to drugs and alcohol. view
