• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. Having heard the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, I understand that all these people are competent to carry out this specialised job that is required of the Privatisation Commission. I hope this Commission will carry out its mandate very fast so that it can be wound up. We cannot have a permanent Commission of this nature yet we have only a few parastatals and government businesses that ought to be handed over to the private sector. We have seen in ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Government has some shares but they let professionals run that business. The Government is getting very good dividends. Whenever we have any organisation that is completely managed by Government appointees, we run into trouble. I have listened to the qualifications of these individuals and I hope they will not take their sweet time to merely continue earning allowances. We need to make up our minds.

• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Appropriation Bill. The House has gone through the process of scrutinising the proposals by the National Treasury and the various ministries. All the Departmental Committees have had a go at those estimates. They have approved and prepared the necessary reports. They have given their views to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Committee has brought its views to this House. We are now merely allowing the Government to utilise the funds under the programmes that this House has already approved. I wish to reiterate the importance of this House ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: For example, why should a donor give Kshs1 billion or Kshs2 billion for development only for him to establish that the money has not been utilised five years down the line? Hon. Speaker, finally, on the issue of the NGCDF, I want to make it clear that the National Treasury has released 100 per cent of the money for the 2015/2016 Financial Year. The agreement was that the money should be in the accounts of the constituencies by the end of last week or latest today. If that money has not been received by close of business today, it is ... view
• 21 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The position is that on 5th May 2016, two civil rights activists filed Petition Case No. 28 of 2016. They sought an application as well as filed a petition. In their application, they are seeking to stop the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for National Treasury from releasing money to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) in respect of 2016/2017 Financial Year. That is the essence of that particular prayer. The application says that before the petition is heard, the application should be allowed. The Petitioners were heard and the respondents, who are the National Assembly, ... view
• 21 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Members of the CDF committees of Kikuyu and Ruaraka constituencies filed applications this morning to be joined in that case with a view of giving the face of the CDF and what it is doing. The judge allowed the two committees to be joined in the case, but he indicated that he will not permit them to be heard for this particular application. They are supposed to wait until he has made a determination on the application. They can be heard when the Petition is being heard. First, the Petition has sought to declare the Division of Revenue Bill, which ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Ahsante, Mhe. Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda. Naunga mkono maoni ya Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Maji na Mazingira. Tukisema kuwa wenyekiti watoke kwenye kaunti zinazohusika, ni lazima kuwe na uwazi na usawa. view
