• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: When I talk about corruption, there is something interesting that happened on Monday in China. A fellow who is a former deputy mayor was condemned to death and all his properties were reverted back to the Government when he was found guilty of having received bribes. Therefore, we need more punitive measures so that this appetite for corruption and impunity will be abated. I am saying so because nowadays even as we talk about taxes, we also have to talk about protecting the same money. Nowadays, the youth of this country would rather take a certificate or a diploma in ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am very proud to put my voice on the issue of TVETs because I am a young man. I am very elated by the Budget and Appropriations Committee for increasing the money that is meant for TVETs. First of all, we have the engine in this country. We have the requisite resources. What we lack are the skill drivers of the economy. I believe by imparting skills on the young people of this country, they will take charge in terms of driving the economic agenda of this country. It is a paradox that ... view

• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendment noting that we are talking about universities and on the other hand, we are talking about technical colleges. We are talking about twin brothers. Given the challenge that we have in this country, these are more of technical than managerial. Therefore, I support that we reduce some money as proposed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee and take it to where it is needed most. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I have to say that over time, we also need to increase the capitation money for our universities because some of the technical courses offered by our universities such as medicine and engineering never get enough funding. These are the courses the country needs most. A person taking a Bachelor Degree in Commerce and a Bachelor of Arts does not require more fee because capitation money is always enough for them. So, going forward, we need to put more emphasis and increase the capitation money, support students even when we talk about technical courses within universities. view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important debate before us. That is because this House has the sole mandate of budgeting for the country’s expenditure. It is actually the only institution mandated to perform that role. In any country, directed economic growth is very important. I am very happy that the Jubilee Government, led by our President, has seen its path in terms of where we are, as a country. In this Budget of Kshs3 trillion, we have specific areas we are targeting. The Big Four Agenda covers affordable ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: However, I have to say that there is a fallacy we peddle every time we make the Budget – the fallacy of marginalisation – which looks like it is true. There is the fallacy that the closer you are to Nairobi, the more developed you are. We tend to regard areas that are furthest from Nairobi worse off, however rich they are than Murang’a and neighbouring counties like Mwea and Kajiado. We are considered to be well off. In Kiharu, where I come from, there are areas which are poorer than the poorest parts of, for example, Turkana County. This ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Many economists always advocate for a lean government because it gives birth to a big country. Where we have as few entities as possible controlled by the Government, we have fewer areas where public money can be siphoned. Therefore, it is my opinion that we continue to consolidate some Government entities so that we can have fewer institutions. This will reduce the Recurrent Expenditure and ensure that more resources go into development. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am very pleased by the additional funds that I have seen in the Report. A sum of Kshs3.8 billion is going to NG-CDF. I am very pleased by the Kshs1 billion going to the Last Mile Connectivity Project and Kshs8.7 billion going towards rehabilitation of infrastructure damaged by the heavy rains being experienced across the county. I am happy because the county I come from is one of the biggest victims of the heavy rains we are receiving. I am sure that the Kshs8.7 billion… view
