• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Kshs909 million to Kshs3.97 billion? 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
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: 338 per cent. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I had indicated it was in excess of 300 per cent. The Chief Executive Officers who exceed the maximum contract variation of 25 per cent should be surcharged for the variation in pricing by their respective corporations over and above the allowed threshold in law. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have indicated what should be done. I will talk about implementation of not only the PIC, PAC or the Special Funds Account Committee (SFAC), but also recommendations for every other Committee. I will indicate what our concern is and what needs to be done. The other issue that cuts across ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: harvest. Because we have a bumper harvest, the NCPB cannot fill its silos because there is maize. How was that maize purchased? Was it purchased in the right way? It is wanting. Worse than that is the way they stored this maize. They cannot even offload the maize in their silos onto the market. Someone needs to take responsibility. The issue of hunger is the reason we are saying implementation, implementation, implementation. It is key. This Report if adopted by this House will indicate timelines as well. In our Report and recommendations, there is an issue on the purchase of ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, we have. We have ordered for a special audit on both: the purchase and, equally, we want to find out how usable this maize that is currently there is. In fact, it is public knowledge that those in authority are currently saying that no one wants to buy that particular maize. So, how much money has been lost in this process? In our recommendations, including these ones, we will include not only being surcharged but also the most punitive measures on individuals. As I said, we cannot allow people to enrich themselves as Kenyans go hungry. This system has ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, the fact that they have to go through the silos in the whole country is what has taken them a bit of time. That is so that the Report can be credible. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The other special audit that this House will get is purchase of hydrant pit valves by the Kenya Pipeline and the issue of Excisable Goods Management System (EGMS). This is the stamping issue that has been done by the Kenya Revenue Authority. At this point, allow me to give a brief overview of what the Members should expect from this very Committee. One of them is the issue of Kenya Power Company as I had earlier stated. The fact that these private audit firms…. I was a bit shocked when I got into…. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I think the Hon. Member is seeking attention. It was a bit shocking when we sat down and realised that the then MD of KPLC actually comes with a single page. In that page he simply says: “You know what? According to us, we are 100 per cent clean.” That is on one single piece of paper. At the same time, we are reading the concerns of Kenyans in the media; we are getting issues from whistle blowers as well. We encourage Kenyans to be more vigilant and to put this House to task. We also encourage members of the ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: electricity token system. We are asking for a special audit on the system. The second issue is that of faulty transformers. There was the issue of the Geothermal Development Corporation as well. We have indicated and we are insisting that this should be done by the Office of the Auditor- General. When a State Corporation does something, it will always have an effect on another. One of them is the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO). There were delays in a number of their lines. The job of KETRACO is to transmit power and that means that their job is to ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Going forward, was the issue of the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA). The Constitution of Kenya is very clear and we are noting this with concern. Health is a devolved function but we have realised that in the year 2016/2017, the Ministry of Health paid KEMSA Kshs600 million for purchase of drugs. That is an accounting function. We are therefore saying that the national Government needs to limit itself from overly going into functions that belong to the county governments. County governments should provide budgetary allocation so that drugs can be purchased in due time. During the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 ... view
