• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The other issue I am concerned with is the Equalisation Fund that is supposed to be given to marginalised counties. There is a process of identifying them. As we talk, there are eight counties that are considered for the Equalisation Fund. I know counties like Siaya and Kitui are not in that classification. This is something the Commission of Revenue Allocation should look at to ensure that counties that deserve the resources are given. I do not think that it is only North Eastern counties that deserve the Equalisation Fund. Most counties even in Nyanza deserve the Fund. view

• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to ventilate on this very important policy Motion. I want to say that any serious policy on housing must address the question of financing housing. If you look at those countries that have been able to address the question of housing, countries like the Asian Tigers of the East, countries in Europe such as Canada and Australia have vibrant financial sectors. Financing of housing is not only a preserve for Government. It is also something the private sector, through the financial system, has also incorporated. I speak as an ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: financial sector, namely, to tame banks and to discourage investors in that sector. In my view, we need to relook at that legislation so that we can address the question of how we can fund our financial sector. How can we fund our banks with cheap money so that the cheap money can benefit the other sectors of the economy, including our housing? Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this policy document. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak on this Motion. Let me begin by saying that insecurity in this country is now normal. Kenyans die each day in their tens, fifties, hundreds and it is normal as if this country does not have a Government. I would like to speak on the particular issue of North Eastern, specifically Wajir, because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Members of my community who were offering borderless professional services in that region were the victims of that massacre. It is very painful because since we conducted elections in this country, Kenyans have been dying in their hundreds. In my constituency, I have buried at least 50 people because of insecurity in this country. It is important for us to hit the nail on the head and say that the CS in charge of the security docket is more obsessed with politics than matters security in this country. We must point him out and say that Mr. Matiang’i must either ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I speak in this House, I speak on behalf of my constituents. You are aware that when this Government was elected, my constituency did not participate in that election. So, I rightfully admit--- view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my statement on the weaknesses of Mr. Matiang’i is being attributed to having referred to the Government as illegitimate. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I said there is an illegitimate man in charge of security. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me conclude my submission by saying that the CS in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is a man whose hands are full of blood. This is because Kenyans have been dying in their hundreds and this CS is stuck in office. He comments on some situations, takes action on others, but keeps quiet on others. So, we must point him out. view
