• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: That is correct, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was trying to raise a point of order because I have been here from 2.30 p.m. I have checked on your list and I have seen that I am number one. view

• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, anyway, I have been sitting here waiting for a chance to support this Bill. I think we can go back to the same system where the Speaker used to handpick people. I want to support this Bill because if you look at it, you will find that the definition of these private security services means any of the following: (1) installation of burglar alarms; (2) private investigations and consultancy; (3) car-tracking; and, (4) close circuit television. This is a big sector which has been held back because of lack of proper regulation and rules to govern ... view

• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. In fact, I have been waiting for a long time to contribute on the SGR, but now it is okay. The Fisheries Management and Development Bill No. 20 of 2014 is important because of the value of fish in terms of nutrition and the fact that before the year 2005 or 2006, we did not have proper structures in place about the management and development of fish. That is because we did not have ministries and departments before. When the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 9 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Government decided in the year 2008 that we put money in every part of the country so that we can be able to develop and maintain the fishponds and so on, it became very clear to Kenyans that fish could come from anywhere and not just from Lake Victoria or from Indian Ocean. It is gratifying that even in areas where we never thought fish could be reared like in Central Kenya; they have been leading in rearing fish through fishponds. From the point of nutrition or food aspect, it is very important because it creates a variety of what ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. The most important thing is that all of us Kenyans passed the new Constitution because we believed in devolution. This arose from the fact that we had seen some of the experiences we had when we came up with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We have seen what 2.5 of the national revenue can do, or has done in the constituencies compared to what we had achieved with the national Government funds since Independence. We had also passed laws here to ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: devolving money to go and pay a few people’s salaries. As we allow more money to the counties, there must be a way in which we can have checks and balances on how money is being spent. There is an issue that had been raised by the county governments, particularly the governors. Some of them, including the Governor of Vihiga, raised concern that we are interfering with the work of the county governments. If you look at the Constitution, Article 95(4)(c) you will see that it talks about the role of the National Assembly, which is exercising oversight over State ... view
• 26 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to support the Senate Amendments to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill. First of all, this Bill is very important. It changed what was going on before in this country where there was haphazard procurement and awarding of tenders. There had to be some kind of law to control that. Unfortunately, it did not take into account the situation that eventually evolved. I am happy that the idea of a minimum of 25 per cent in public procurement in the counties being given to the residents is there. It has been ... view
