• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: why today the Members of the Public Accounts Committee, if you look at their reports which have just been tabled, they are for 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014. I think in the next Parliament, we will be in the same state. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to move and say thank you. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Eighteenth Report of the Public Investments Committee on the Accounts of State Corporations, Volumes I & II, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 19th December, 2012. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will remember that this Report was tabled shortly before the last Parliament adjourned sine die . Therefore, it was not possible for us to conclude debate on it. It is also fair that the hon. Members who were in that House, and those who are privileged to be Members of the Eleventh Parliament, get an opportunity to familiarise themselves with some of the issues spelt out in the Eighteenth PIC Report. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: One of the mandates of PIC is to examine reports and accounts of public investments. To “examine” means to analyse and interrogate. You look at all the accounts of public investments in perspective. By definition, “public investments” are all the State institutions governed by a statute or an Act of Parliament. view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: The second function of PIC is examination of reports, if any, of the Auditor General on public investments. This is where the current issues arise. The PIC, as one of the two investment committees of this House, is at liberty to, at any given time, request the Office of the Auditor General to carry out an audit on any issue appertaining to any public investment. This is one of the provisions contained in the latest version of our Standing Orders – the one that we amended shortly before the last Parliament adjourned view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I note the sentiments of the Members and, in particular, what has been suggested by my good friend, hon. Makali. That is what we are doing right now as a Committee. Clearing the backlog is not an easy job. It requires a lot of sacrifice. For the last 15 months that we have been Members of this House and by extension members of this Committee, we have decided to work around the clock to make sure that those who will be privileged to be Members of the 12th Parliament and by extension, of this ... view
• 2 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: corruption. My fear is that we have had a number of missed opportunities over the last 50 years since we got our Independence. If we do not pull up our socks, I fear the same trend that ensured that we remained an undeveloped nation or a struggling member of the Third World will still remain rampant. These issues must be confronted. It requires courage. It is not something that somebody who wants to operate from an area of comfort can easily do. It requires courage and a lot of determination. I want to plead with Members of the House that ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have listened to what my good friend, the Member for Laikipia East, has said. He has said that he has seen Members of the Opposition dancing on the graves of Kenyans. Being a Member of the Opposition, I believe that is a very outrageous statement. The entire country has been mourning. Those criminal acts have been condemned by everybody. Unless he has evidence to suggest otherwise, I want him to apologize profusely and withdraw. That is a reckless statement which should not be entertained at this time of mourning. Therefore, ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a House of procedure and records. Unless that statement is expunged, with your direction, it will remain permanently as part of the archive of the 11th Parliament. Therefore, I want to plead with you that since the Member cannot really demonstrate that there are Opposition Members The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: of Parliament who were dancing on the graves of Kenyans, then the honest thing for him to do is to stand, apologize and withdraw that statement. Otherwise, it will remain as part of our records. view
