• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue we have noted is the appointment of auditors by State corporations. Some State corporations have refused to submit their accounts to the Office of the Auditor-General and this is unacceptable. This is the first time the Audit Report of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has found its way into this august House. We used to interrogate them on this matter. What happened is that the CBK used to lump themselves together with small departments within the National Treasury. They used to say that, structurally, they were part of the National Treasury but, ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, while the Government has substantial shareholding in organisations like the National Bank of Kenya (NBK), the Kenya Petroleum Refineries and Telkom Kenya, these organizations have refused to submit their books of accounts to the Office of the Auditor-General for review. That is why we are reminding them that we are now under a different constitutional dispensation and they must accept that reality. It is no longer like in the old days when, through a roadside declaration, the CBK would be exempted from the provisions of the State Corporations Act. The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue that we have noted is that of conflict of interest in constitutional boards which I have already alluded to. The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS) has stayed for a long time without a Board. The Managing Director, whose term was about to expire, used every opportunity to remind the parent Ministry that he had been without a Board. Do you know what happened eventually? His term came to an end without a Board being established. The only letter that he got instructed him to hand over to a senior manager. How do ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We have had cases of our elephants being killed and ivory smuggled out of the country. The KEPHIS is entrusted to be at our ports of entry. How is it supposed to do that without a properly structured management and Board? I commend the Chief Executive Officer for constantly reminding the parent Ministry that they did not have a Board in place as his term was about to expire. Such things should not be allowed to happen to any institution. view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Another organization that has operated without a Board for quite some time is the Bomas of Kenya. Such a thing should not be allowed to happen. There are a number of organisations that have not complied with the international financial reporting standards. One of them is the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). This Authority is notorious. The other culprit is KEPHIS. The Vice-Chairman of my Committee is a seasoned accountant. The internationally accepted financial reporting standards are not Kenyan oriented. If the Vice-Chairman of my Committee, today, was to seek employment with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), he will apply ... view
