Nelson Jack Wanami Wamboka

As much as we are appropriating these finances to the State Department of Correctional Services, one of the President’s advisors recently made a very dangerous statement – that, people are buying positions to get into the Kenya Prison Service. That is a very dangerous thing. The Government must stop embarrassing...

On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady.

Hon. Chairlady, the budget-making process is very important. It is not right for the Hon. Member to say that we need to go through it quickly. Even if we take a month, we must interrogate the Budget in detail. There is nothing wrong with Hon. Caroli asking for those details....

Hon. Speaker, we want to reject these Amendments in totality. Begin by saying, “I beg to second”. (Laughter) Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. Bearing in mind the fiscal space in which the country is currently operating, it is abnormal for anyone to propose an upward adjustment of these allocations....

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I think we are taking this matter lightly and that is why the governors are taking us lightly. Everyone in this Republic knows that governors handle a lot of money, yet nothing happens. In my own county, Bungoma we get about Ksh14 billion from the...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. Firstly, let me sincerely thank the leadership of this institution, the National Assembly, starting from Hon.

Hon. Chairlady, honestly you are being unfair. On a point of order, Hon. Chairlady. It is within my rights to bring a point of order.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) On a point of order, Hon Speaker.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) I seek your guidance, Hon. Speaker. It looks like we are being ambushed.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) How about we postpone this matter to next week so that we organise ourselves with regard to numbers, especially on the Conflict of Interest Bill because it affects us? We are affected by the Bill, yet we were not prepared for this. Step this matter...

If I may expound on the issue of Kenyatta University a bit. I am sure you do not want to spoil my soup. Let us allow him to finish moving it first. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kenyatta University has spent a whopping Ksh600 million and you can hardly see anything beyond...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Chairperson of Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture, Hon. Wangwe, will concur with us that the issues we are dealing with are not easy, and you can clearly see that. As a Committee, we decided that we must work for public...

No. Let us proceed. Ukichoka, enda nyumbani.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) On a point of order.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) I have just realised that our digital system and the televisions are not working very well. I am worried. Is The Hansard on? Is it just affecting screens or is it also affecting the voice? As you know, it is mandatory that The Hansard has...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) If I may expound on the issue of Kenyatta University a bit. I am sure you do not want to spoil my soup.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kenyatta University has spent a whopping Ksh600 million and you can hardly see anything beyond the foundation level. When we went there, we were asking where the project is. The Vice- Chancellor was just saying “here”. You could not see anything yet...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) My point is made.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K)

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Yes, Hon. Speaker. In the spirit of decentralisation of funds, bearing in mind that the KeRRA roads affect the locals, we want your undertaking today.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) In difficult situations, you can use any language possible so that the Cabinet Secretary understands how I am putting my points across.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) We hope you will give us that undertaking. Secondly, we want to know how much of the 22 per cent and the 10 per cent you have released to the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and the regional offices. Third and most importantly, the word...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the Cabinet Secretary for coming. We have been patient with the things he has been saying because he is a former ranking Member of this House. We would not have been tolerant, perhaps, if he did not have those decorations with...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Lastly, many college and university students missed exams because we did not facilitate their bursaries. They will be forced to defer their studies for a whole year. How are you going to remedy that? These students have deferred their studies and they continue living the...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the move by Hon. Musa Sirma, that, indeed, the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) needs to...

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have been here longer. I rise to second the Motion by Hon. Sirma.

Hon. Wanami Wamboka (Bumula, DAP-K) Can we just have the Cabinet Secretary here instead of a response for the sake of this House, because they have also put your name in disrepute? If we did not know you as Members, we would be having problems with you. However, we know...
