• 22 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: We cannot have contracts with questionable stipulations that are designed to fail. Some contract designers do a shady job, then rush to court and get the tender awards. It is high time that we stamped our authority as a House and have standard documents to guide the tendering process. As it is, some of those documents are tailor-made with an end in mind.

• 28 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: I want to join my colleagues in congratulating Hon. Chepkonga for dropping that amendment. It had far-reaching ramifications, especially for some of us who represent very big constituencies. I also want to allude to the words of Hon. Kaluma, that this is a continuous conversation so that then we align the NG-CDF with the Constitution and ensure that nobody runs to court and challenges the same to the extent that it is going to be declared unconstitutional again. view

• 28 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must come up with an acceptable formula, save for the one in place in the Act, where revenue is shared out in terms of wards, which is not a term that is allowed. We must factor in the population, and the vastness of the areas that we represent because you can imagine a constituency like Kinangop, where I have eight wards with a total population of about 300,000 people. A constituency like Ruiru with a population of 700,000 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view

• 28 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: people and Thika Town with a population that is to that extent, yet the money that we get for the NG-CDF are for education. This is the money we allocate to children so that they can study. Allocating the same amount to a constituency that has a population of 30,000 or 50,000 people is completely unacceptable and unconstitutional to the extent that we will not be practising equity. We must come up with a formula that is equitable, acceptable and going to cost every single person to benefit from the proceeds of these funds. view
