• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I agree with the Chair on the same without amendments. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to oppose this amendment. If census took place about three months ago, it would have been very difficult to undertake it along Kerio Valley because there was a fight between the Marakwets and the Pokots. If census took place at that particular time, I am sure that most Marakwets would not have been counted. We need to give a rider. We need to list those special occasions. The Member can move a further amendment so that we can list those exceptional circumstances. view

• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity. I rise to support the Report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC). As the Departmental Committee of Communication, Information and Innovation, we presented our Report to the BAC. We are happy with what they did with our proposals. We proposed re-allocations, reductions and increases to re-align the funding curves in critical priority areas and ensure that there are no duplications across the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA’s). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The Committee also seeks to ensure that funding is based on performance, completion levels, absorption capacity, contraband funding among others. We reviewed the performance of 2018/2019 and took care of the absorption rates to ensure that those whose absorption rates were more than 80 per cent got more funding and those whose absorption rates were below 50 per cent had some reductions. Policy recommendations are also critical to ensure that programmes and projects are well executed and emerging challenges such as risk of contractors not being able to deliver on time are curbed. The Committee also noted that the process ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: that we get interns. This is so, so that we can get more of them and get double portion of the money by private sector putting additional resources. Such funds are critical to funding innovations and securing digitally enabled jobs. That should be the way forward instead of subjecting the Ministry to budgetary allocation cuts. Indeed, in its submission, the Ministry projected an annual funding requirement of Kshs1 billion for the next five years. The private sector will also put in a similar amount. These are IBM, Google and other big industries in our country. Moreover, I know that the ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Ajira Platform Fund will be instrumental in the wider mechanism of the disbursements of the stipends to ensure support to programmes and projects that are in line with the Fund’s objectives such as securing digital enabled jobs and support oriented standards. This will also ensure sustainability of the fund’s programme, especially the counterpart funding from the private sector. We intend to build up this fund by allocating it Kshs1 billion every year to Kshs5 billion. Our youth do not have to migrate to cities to look for work as they will be able to work ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, I laud the Committee’s recommendation on ensuring that the Controller of Budget reports on both financial and non-financial programmes of actual targets and outright achievements. This will give a complete picture of how the various programmes are performing within the financial year and ensure that accounting officers are answerable to Parliament on quarterly basis. This is a good thing and we wish that the county assemblies take the same route. view
