• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. This Bill is timely, considering that with the new Constitution the structure and size of the Government is now different. There is a lot involved here. Apart from the content here, which is commendable--- The structure of Government we had then involved eight provinces but now we have 47 counties. From the outset, there is a lot of involvement that needs to be managed. There is clarification in the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons. It is said that the Bill does not limit fundamental rights ... view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: question anything. I know even the Speaker goes through the same when your Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) officers tell you inspectors are coming this week. view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: These guys called and said they would be there in the morning. These fellows were waiting and they came in the morning and met the cleaners. They introduced themselves and told the cleaners to open. They got in, looked around waiting for the senior officers to come. After they realized everything was settled, they took a pen-knife – I do not know whether you know a pen-knife, hon Temporary Deputy Speaker - and pinned somebody on the wall and took Kshs30 million.

It will come a time when Nairobi is going to become a shell. ... view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Cecilia for giving me the chance to state a few issues. There are quite a number of issues under this Bill. I am sorry I could not be in earlier because I had a serious case in hospital. There is somebody who is very sick. I listened to some of the contributions and I think they are quite valid. The most important thing is for us to address this issue with a lot of soberness, because our economy is expanding. In the year 2003, we were dealing with a budget of Kshs283 billion ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to contribute on the Senate amendments to the Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012. This was supposed to be a gradual process because the Constitution anticipated that we must have adequate structures in place for all these. We are not only transferring roles but also resources. So, it is not like where we used to talk about delegation. It is devolution which means that you are transferring roles or responsibilities coupled with resources. For instance, there is the issue of Level 5 hospitals. We have seen from experience that most hospitals in the ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Even the resources that are taken to the county governments are mismanaged because of lack of adequate capacity both at the county government level and the institutions.
