• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We do not farm fish where I come from. But, I know very well that if fish is protected and farmed well in this country, we do not need to import; not only even from China but also Uganda. We do not need to. As a country, it is high time we woke up and protected our resources. The resources we have in this country are enormous. The people from the Coast should benefit from the resource they have been given by God, the same way people from Turkana are benefiting from the resource of oil when we have a ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I want to put it very clearly that we, as Members of Parliament, are the voice of the people. We are the protector of the people. We are the people to give direction in some issues. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As I finish, I want to reiterate about the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Ministries come and denounce these Bills in front of Committees. They leave out such important issues like fishing. We will support her and make sure the necessary legislation and investments are done in the right way. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to congratulate the Special Funds Accounts Committee, which is new, for doing a fantastic job. This is the first time we have seen complied audited reports of one county presented in Parliament. From the outset, the recommendations are very clear and they need to be implemented. The agencies supposed to implement the projects should be put to task. Also, as Parliament, we should concur with this Committee Report and ensure that it is implemented. There is a backlog of about Kshs4.9 billion, which is supposed to be sent to ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: once the Chair and his Committee are through with the audit, they should sit down and come up with a law similar to the NG-CDF, which will translate to the finance law of this country. I am saying this with great honour for Matungulu because in the last Parliament, I built 15 day secondary schools using the NG-CDF money. I can assure you that we have transformed the lives of many young people who never used to go to school. They are now graduating in colleges and other institutions. For a developing nation like Kenya, we do not need to ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: That is because the Governor of Makueni County was a Member of Parliament. He understands public financing and protection of public money. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I urge the Committee to make sure that in constituencies where there are grey areas, they should come up with far-reaching recommendations to make sure that the culprits are brought to book. As much as people try to imagine that Members of Parliament do not have a role to play in the management, disbursement and oversight of the NG-CDF, if there is credit the Members need to be given, it should be that we made the NG-CDF work for our people. Sometimes I wonder why the national Government has a ministry responsible for roads tendering in ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I thank the Committee for looking at several items like bursary funds. I welcome the ideology of sending bursaries to schools through electronic money transfer, but at the same time, we need to ensure accountability of the electronic money transfers system. We urge the NG-CDF Committee of the National Assembly to look at the guidelines and give us proper direction on the way forward. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: One of my colleagues talked about quantity surveyors who are supposed to do proper BQs for projects. I think it is high time we ensured that procurement at the constituency level and the project management committee level is solid enough to avoid corruption and make sure that there is no duplication of work. Why am I saying this? You find that at the ward level, you have a project management committee, which comes up with a project for the ward. They make sure that the project is implemented, accounting for every cent that goes into that project. In the same ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: what is coming from the county government cannot be seen. This is wastage of public resources. I think the Committee, led by Hon. Kathuri, a lawyer that we respect, needs to come up with a legal framework to affirm that development at the constituency level must be a mandatory undertaking by all levels of the Government. I know many Members of Parliament want to speak on this Motion. We are going to support the Committee to make sure that we have proper development and financing laws of Government projects. We do not want the situation where it is the national ... view
