• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that guidance. I wish to support this Motion based on what we are going through as a country. I want to believe that this is happening all over the country whereby floods are becoming an issue. There seems to be a heavy downpour that was unprecedented. The rate at which we are losing our loved ones is so saddening. Today, we counted about 150 souls who have been swept away by floods. We cannot continue counting numbers. We are counting lives. We have not seen enough effort being done by the Government in ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: mission because of bad weather. We saw the Deputy President risking his life just to be there with the people, to condole, encourage and give them moral and humanitarian support. As leaders, we need to come back to our senses. That is why I support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) whereby Cabinet Secretaries will come from this House. Members of Parliament (MP) take risks. They go to places where technocrats will never go because they feel it is too risky or people down there do not matter. As I support this Adjournment Motion, as a House, we need to stamp ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am the Hon. Member for Kinangop not for Kwenya. Kwenya is my name. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to state that I do not want to impute improper motives on my colleagues. We must rise to the occasion because we are a budget-making body and allocate money to weighty matters. We must put our money where our mouths are. With those few remarks, I congratulate Hon. K’Oyoo for moving this Motion for Adjournment so that we can discuss the issues that affect our people. I wish all Members a merry Christmas and a happy year 2020. Let us address the issues that affect our people down there. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: (Kinangop, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is my discretion to choose the one I want to speak to. So, protect me from my colleagues, so that I can speak on this one. As much as I want to speak on the next Motion, we are almost time barred. I support this Report by the PAC. They have done a good job. It brings to light the kind of country we are in. I happen to sit in a certain departmental committee and I look at the way they do their things and the kind of reports they ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On the numerous supplementary budgets that are brought to this House, economic planning is something that is very important for any progressive country. For sure, the budget is one tool of planning and projection as to how much you want to spend based on the kind of projects that we have. When we have supplementary budgets that are varying from the original budget to the tune of more than 10 per cent, it means something is very wrong in our planning mechanism. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: With the appointment of the new Controller of Budget, she should take up her office positively and do what she has to do so that we can get ourselves out of the quagmire that we are in. Since we came into this House, several supplementary budgets have been passed, which are not reflective of the budget that was passed. That is so telling on the type of managers we have entrusted with our money. Now that my colleagues are on my case, I wish to stop at that and thank you for giving me this opportunity. I thank the PAC ... view
