• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I beg your pardon, Hon. Speaker. It is in respect of the NG-CDF Caucus Committee that this House--- view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I oppose the proposal. This House has been concerned about the NG-CDF. That is why we put together the NG-CDF Caucus Committee. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the idea of equalising the NG-CDF allocation across the constituencies is totally wrong in its context, spirit and intention. Many Kenyans have been suffering since Independence. Development has been taking place around the railway line. Other areas have been marginalised for over 50 years. The intention of the NG-CDF was to give opportunity to areas which do not have enough primary and secondary schools a chance to develop such infrastructure. Even in Kisumu East, we do not have enough primary and secondary schools. Baringo County and other places have hardly any secondary schools. How can we ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, The HANSARD will prove that I said the “central part of Nairobi”. I was talking about Nairobi. I never mentioned central Kenya. The HANSARD will prove that position. If my colleague heard “central Kenya”, it was not intended. I was talking about urban areas, especially the cities of Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. I was trying to relate the central parts of Kisumu, Nairobi and Meru with their outskirts. That is what I was saying. The gist of my argument was based on the fact that there are no enough The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: schools and other learning institutions. We need every penny so that we can be on a level playing field. The intention of the NG-CDF, the Equalisation Fund and devolution is to create a level playing field. I do not think there is a single Member of Parliament who will deny that fact. There is the issue of the Kshs4.9 billion that is in arrears. The National Treasury, as I said, has no intention of disbursing those arrears. They feel that, because they have to pay a minimum of 2.5 per cent of the Budget and there are financial years they ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: , instructed the Caucus Committee to file an appeal. We even agreed on the advocates who were to file that appeal. The Caucus put the appeal together but it is yet to be filed by the Committee. If there is any reason for it not to be filed, it is incumbent upon the Committee to explain to hon. Members in a kamukunji – that, the reasons as to why they are not appealing are "a", "b", and "c". I think that is inappropriate. The Chairman has not been very clear on the issue of Chase Bank. There is a sum ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I oppose. view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.43, I wish to make a general Statement regarding the delayed disbursements of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) Bearing in mind the uncertainty of the arrears of Kshs4,976,750,005 still outstanding from the National Treasury under the NGCDF, it is clear that the Board is not in a position to release full disbursements to all the 290 constituencies for the 2015/2016 Financial Year. Further, the Board has been using the current disbursements to clear arrears in the previous financial years hence there is a risk of funding for the 2016/2017 Financial Year ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This is, therefore, to urge the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury to urgently present a Supplementary Budget to cater for the said deficit of Kshs14,976,750,005 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
