• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, on this one, I wish to take a different position from the Leader of the Majority Party. I probably may not be very happy with what hon. Kaluma is doing, but he is trying to align the Act with the Constitution. The Act is creating two levels of responsibility. It is removing the initial responsibility from the father and giving it to the mother. Section 24 of the Act that Clause 2 seeks to delete and replace is actually the one that is unconstitutional. What the Leader of the Majority Party has said is completely opposite ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is important that my colleague here understands that the moment we reject his amendment, the one that was going to give a chance to people to sit down together and contract out of a constitutional responsibility--- The particular section that hon. Kaluma is trying to amend must be amended. The one we have rejected was giving the two a chance to contract or agree. The clause we are now dealing with is talking about that agreement. If we remove the chance to agree, then, we must, in the subsequent clauses also remove that ... view
• 26 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Nakushukuru sana, Mheshimiwa Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii ambayo imeletwa na Kamati ya Elimu, Sayansi na Teknolojia. Sababu zangu za kuiunga mkono ni kama zifuatazo:- Kwanza, umuhimu wa hao maafisa kuteuliwa ni waende kazini katika Tume ya Kuajiri Walimu hili iweze kufanya kazi vizuri. Pili ni kwa sababu wametoa mfano mwema kwa kuteua mlemavu ambaye amepewa wajibu na jukumu kubwa katika nchi hii. Kumekuwa na mgogoro huko mashinani kuhusu uwezo na majukumu ya Wizara ya Elimu na Tume hii. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu sana. Sasa ni wengi. Waende watatue The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 26 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: matatizo ili kazi iendelee vizuri. Pia waende washughulikie walimu wakuu ambao wanakataa kutii amri ya Wizara kuhusu karo. Vile wanakataa, ni kama hizo pesa zinaenda kwa mifuko ya watu. Ni afadhali wangekuwa wakiambia Serikali iweze kusaidia mahali ambapo pana upungufu wa pesa badala ya waendelee kuumiza wazazi na wanafunzi kwa kuitisha karo ya juu zaidi. Ijapokuwa naunga mkono, ningetaka kutaja maneno kadha. Kwanza, kuna shida kidogo kuhusu hawa maafisa ambao wameteuliwa hapa. Tutapitisha Hoja hii na nitaiunga mkono kwa sababu ya wakati na wamehitimu kuchukua nafasi hizo. Lakini ukiangalia wale wote ambao wameteuliwa, vile Serikali yetu ya Jubilee na Manifesto ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise in support of this Bill. It is obviously our obligation, as a Parliament, to enact this Bill, it being a constitutional requirement. Kenya is not short of audit reports. We have several volumes of these reports. The challenge is not that audits are not undertaken--- view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The issue is that once the audit reports are prepared and given to the relevant authorities, nobody takes them seriously. If they recommend certain sanctions against public officers, no such sanctions are imposed. If they suggest remedial or corrective measures, or that certain actions ought to be taken, nobody takes that seriously. I have had an opportunity to serve on the boards of parastatals in this country. I can tell you that every time you sit down to review the implementation of recommendations of reports by the auditors, including internal auditors, you find that there is probably only 20 per ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: financial independence will go a long way in making sure that the Office of the Auditor- General carries out its duties independently. I am also happy about the new organisational structure, and I urge the--- view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, all of us know that about 30 per cent of the Development Vote of this country’s Budget goes to waste. Once the provisions of this Bill are in force, it is will be possible for us to arrest part of that wastage. Further, the Bill seeks to give to the Office of the Auditor-General power to compulsorily obtain information from public bodies and officers. Public bodies or auditors cannot refuse to provide information demanded by the Office of the Auditor- General, unlike what used to happen in the past. I have a few amendments that I will ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: who the thieves are, to go to bed with the same thieves. I hope that once this Bill is enacted into law, the punitive measures proposed therein will serve as a deterrent to corruption. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support the Bill, subject to the indicated amendments. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The purpose of this proposed amendment, which I support, is to ensure that a person who is suspended loses enjoying rights of membership, but a suspension itself does not remove somebody from being a member of this Society. You are just stopped from enjoying those rights. So, it is an apt amendment. view
