• 8 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Finally, Hon. Speaker, I want to say that the Chair of the Committee is not in and had requested me… You saw earlier I stood in to give the exit Report. So, the Chair is not in. But as we discuss these issues, we take them seriously as the Committee on Education. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to support the Appropriations Bill on two grounds. Looking at some of the items that have benefitted in this Bill, I want to zero in on the State Department for University Education and Research. This is one sector in education that has suffered for the period that I have been in this House. Our universities are on their knees at the moment. I would wish to assume that the Appropriations Bill to some extent will address some of the issues that are facing our universities. Our desire as a Committee – ... view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Departmental Committee of Education and Research - is that the allocations per unit should be raised so that the university collection in terms of what flows from the National Treasury can be increased. The universities will then address some of the major challenges they have, with some having to do with statutory deductions and infrastructure. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I also support this Bill on the grounds that I have a number of issues in my constituency and many other constituencies and that, for the first time, we are getting good support from the Government for infrastructural development. Those projects need to be refinanced and the Appropriation Bill has addressed some of those issues. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I support this Bill. view
• 7 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the position of the Committee on these draft regulations. It is a little bit discouraging and worrying why an institution like the IEBC, which has been in existence for some time, could decide to ignore the procedures and timing for submission of the changes that they intended to have to ensure that the 2022 elections are conducted smoothly. The IEBC is not the only organisation that finds itself in this quagmire. We have had several government institutions, including the National Treasury, which holds a big portfolio in the running of ... view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to contribute to this Bill. Huduma services are meant to harmonise and synchronise various data systems in this country. But to my disappointment, some institutions still operate in isolation. As we discuss and review the Bill, we should think of a country that will soon have highly synchronised data because Information and Communication Technology is quite advanced in this country. We should not have people spending time moving from one office to another. At the same time, there is a lot of disappointment not only with delays, but also with the confusion that exists ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to contribute to the Report presented to this House by Hon. Wamunyinyi. I want to thank him because he has given us a very good brief. Hon. Speaker, we are in this House because we contribute substantially to the development of this nation. The case we are discussing of the Kshs4 billion that has not been disbursed over the past many years is one we cannot negotiate. We would like the National Treasury to make this a priority. Going to our previous agreement of disbursing Kshs2 billion every week is like we did not ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to make my observations on the Speech presented to this House yesterday. I want to start by saying that the Address was passionate. I could read from the President’s face that it carried exactly what he had in his heart. To reflect the kind of items covered in the Speech and channel them within that time limit, to me, was very impressive. The Speech covered exactly what I have witnessed in my constituency, but there could be areas that need to be rectified. A new road is being constructed in my constituency ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: facilities and other infrastructure projects. We are comfortable with this investment. We must accept the pain we are going through, but at the end of it, the country is moving to a higher level. With those remarks, I support. view
