• 8 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your magnanimity and generosity. On the Single Treasury Account, we are saying that no government entities and corporations should run unwarranted bank accounts. We should have one account and consolidate all monies in the Central Bank of Kenya. We do not need to go to commercial banks in the event the government wants to borrow any idle money. Government can spend its own money and keep pushing monies to entities that require them as they collect when they require them. We have witnessed massive corruption through government entities having bank accounts in commercial banks ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: I would also like to speak about pensions. We have not paid lump sum payments to pensioners who retired five or ten years ago. There is authority to spend from the Consolidated Fund. You hear they are not paid because of liquidity or other issues. That is not the issue. We must pronounce ourselves on this as Parliament. Much corruption is happening. You cannot convince me on why they have not paid someone who retired in 2020, yet the one who retired in 2024 has received the lump sum payment and their monthly pension. We need to look into that. ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: I want to support this Report and bring Members up to speed on the need to focus on public debt. It is depressing in this country. I second the Report. view

• 24 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me start by giving my observation as to how fast Hon. William Samoei Ruto became the President within a very short time. Everybody is happy that he is our President. view
• 24 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Indeed. view
• 24 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Indeed, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree and stand guided. I cannot put it better than my colleague, the Member for Ol Jorok. Indeed, Senate does not need the Senate Oversight Fund. Giving Senators that money will be robbing Kenyans because they are on payroll. Their business is not to supervise but to oversight. We are facing something which has never happened before. A situation where we are revising… I do not believe this is purely a supplementary budget, because it does not fit the interpretation of Article 223 of the Constitution whereby, the supplementary budget addresses expenses that have been ... view
