Hon. Bowen, has stated. Not all police officers adhere to the guidelines, the law and respect the Constitution of Kenya, especially the Bill of Rights. As I speak to you today, a rogue policeman attacked a schoolboy in my constituency and damaged his reproductive system. Up to now, IPOA has not done anything. The policeman is still roaming around threatening and intimidating the family. I think IPOA needs to get serious with their work. I wish we could even give them more money so that they have enough money to do investigations and establish satellite offices so that they can ...

We have done our best as a budget-making House. All the other organs of the country must appreciate and respect the role of the National Assembly in the budget-making process. The Constitution was explicitly clear. It did not contemplate that any other busy-body will purport to interfere with the role of the National Assembly in the budget-making process. This Budget will only be important or useful to the people of Kenya if the National Treasury is able to disburse funds in a timely manner. When you listen to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) many times, their main complaint is that ...

As we implement the Budget, I want to call upon all those people in charge of implementing it. These are public funds. I wish and request that we do not make any deliberate efforts to steal and misappropriate these funds. I call upon the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to come hard on corruption and corrupt managers, so that we take appropriate action to make sure that the funds we have allocated have higher multiply effect to the economy, instead of all the funds being stolen.

I echo the sentiments of Hon. Omulele when he mentioned the issue of skewed distribution of infrastructure funding. We have so many constituencies like Funyula where the enrolment in both primary and secondary schools has increased by almost 35 per cent in the last two years and the physical infrastructure is being constrained considerably.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, while I support the allocation to the Ministry of Health, I want to raise my concerns. I raise my concern coming from a constituency on the border between Kenya and Uganda. We have a serious problem with healthcare provision to a point our members are actually going to neighbouring constituencies or districts in Uganda for medical care. Sincerely, for the national Government to retain a whopping Kshs92 billion for a devolved function and yet we do not see the support they offer to county governments, is in a way sabotaging devolution and undermining the spirit of ...
