• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: look at each area, constituency and sub-location, so that we can provide funds to meet to take care of all the people of Kenya. We feel very disadvantaged that when we talk about ASAL and vulnerable areas, we only talk about North Eastern and Turkana provinces, yet billions have been pumped into Turkana County and we still have gory pictures of people dying of hunger. That is a question we need to ask ourselves. What has devolution done for this country? Some aspects of food security and agriculture are devolved yet every year since devolution began, almost eight years down ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have a point of clarification. My colleagues were trying to clarify what they do not know. I want the Chair to be clear because they are asking me thinking that I know. They are asking whether the Kshs136,766,586 is inclusive or exclusive of the emergency fund? He needs to answer that. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you for this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have seen the response. I have been given a copy. However, there are two pertinent issues that have risen. I need your guidance on how to seek further clarification. On the first part of the response, there is a very telling statement. I want to reread it if you will allow me. It reads: “The fisheries resources in Lake Victoria are common property of the citizens of the East African Community.” That is a story telling to the birds. The truth of the matter is that the Ugandan side does ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: On the second part of the Question, the Ministry seems to have skirted around the issue. They did not give me an answer. I was specific enough and very categorical in my Question: “When is the Government going to set up a maritime office in Samia Sub-County?” The long stories about 5,000 fisheries and coast guards does not really answer the Question that I asked. It was to be a very simple answer. Will they set up a maritime office or not? If they are going to set up the office, when are they going to do so? The response ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can understand the challenges my colleague has. Much has been exposed. Some of us were born, probably, inside the lake together with the fish. So, we understand fish issues more than him. However, this is a starting point. I will rephrase the question in a Question form then engage the relevant technical people in the Ministry and in the county government. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this Bill. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Dr. Mutunga is my friend. So, if I am given a chance, he has as well gotten a chance. This is an opportune time for amending the Statistics Act, which has been with us for many years. It is also time for us to align the Act with the new constitutional dispensation and with the best practices. The issue of statistics goes to the core of human welfare and to the core of a sophisticated and advanced society. We use data, which are eventually translated into statistics, to make far- reaching decisions, including critical ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: response rate than has been the case in many researches I have, fortunately, had a chance to supervise and review. My colleagues have raised concerns about the recruitment of enumerators, supervisors and ICT people. I hope the management of KNBS is listening to the cries and comments of the people of Kenya so that before it is too late, they must rectify and attend to that issue. We have very many young people who are highly educated, but unemployed. I would vouch for them to be given jobs. Those who have jobs, it is only kind and fair that you ... view
