• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to agree with you that it is our business to appropriate enough resources to our political parties. The law is very clear. We have been directed by the courts to do so. We have to obey the courts. My Committee is ready to do what we are supposed to do to ensure that these particular funds are allocated to the political parties for purposes of running them effectively. Therefore, this is our business but not that of the National Treasury. I agree that it is the business of the National Treasury to propose the amount of money to ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to support the Vote for the State Department for Cooperatives. This sector is very important. If you look at the development in our rural areas, most of what is done by the various co-operative societies helps to support development. For example, the teachers’ co-operative supports their development. Even in this House, Bunge SACCO - which Members substantially contribute to - has assisted them. My proposal is to encourage the Chair handling this department that we need to increase the vote for this Department. The allocation of Kshs1.3 billion for a sector ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, the resources allocated to the Judiciary are not sufficient. But, as a matter of policy, even in our Report to the BAC, we are not going to undertake new projects for the courts. The policy now is that they are going to complete construction of the existing courts, including the one in Turkana. I recall when my Committee went to Turkana for public hearings, the Governor shared with it the challenges they have in Turkana and, indeed, other parts of our country. We have already agreed with the Judiciary that they should deal ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to thank Members for supporting this allocation. I also want to thank the BAC. Initially, the amount allocated to this agency was minimal. When we appeared before the BAC, it added the DPP another Kshs500 million. We have a new DPP and he has the desire to improve and build capacity for this particular institution. I agree with Members that in future we need to add more resources to this department so that the fight against corruption can be strengthened. As a House, we are going to play our role in allocating this agency ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted my colleagues to understand some very important aspects on this Vote. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The one we have just passed. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, what Members are saying is true, that as the Commission stands now there is a problem of quorum. The challenge is that we do not have a legal framework to use so that we can bring additional commissioners on board noting that three of them resigned recently. view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I want to assure Members that my Committee is currently looking into an appropriate legal framework which will facilitate the filling of the vacant positions of commissioners who resigned. Indeed, it is true that the issue of delimitation of boundaries is coming up very soon in the next one year or so. We have no option but to strengthen this Commission and ensure they are able to undertake this. We also have by-elections coming up in Baringo South and other areas. We are taking this issue seriously. I want to assure my colleagues that we are equal to the task ... view
