• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: THAT, this House adopts the Seventeenth Report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) on the Accounts of State Corporations, Volume I & II, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, December 21, 2010. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: As you realize, this is not a current Report. This is a Report that was done by the last Parliament. Ideally, this Report should have been concluded in the last Parliament. Again, you realize, PIC, being one of the two watchdog Committees, was unable to table its 19th Report until the 17th and 18th Reports are concluded. You see, sometimes, this is why I say Parliament is a House of rules. We must at all times be prepared to stick to our rules because that is the only way we can also demonstrate that we are people who follow the ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I will take the shortest time possible to go through the Report. The Public Investments Committee is one of the select committees established under Standing Order No. 206 and is responsible for the examination of public investments. Its mandate includes examining reports and accounts of public investments, examining reports of the Auditor-General on public investments, examining investments in the context of autonomy and efficiency of public investments, and whether the affairs of public investments are being managed according to sound financial and business principles and prudent commercial practices. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The members of the Committee at that particular time were the following:- Hon. Mithika Linturi who was the Chairman. He is still a member of the Public Investments Committee. Other than the other commitments he has had, he was prepared to move this Report because he has the institutional memory on some of the pertinent issues that are raised in the Report.

Cyrus Jirongo. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: At that time, the committee had a membership of 11 members. The Report looked into the accounts of 27 State corporations. It attempted to look at accounts of many State corporations starting with the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation from 1999 to 2008, Nzoia Sugar Company from 1999 to 2001, Chemelil Sugar Company from 2005 to 2008, Water Services Trust Fund from 2004 to 2007, National Social Security Fund from 2001 to 2003, the University of Nairobi from 2002 to 2008, National Environment Management Authority, Kenyatta National Hospital from 2004 to 2007, Kenya Railways Corporation from 2003 to 2007, Kenya Medical Training ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We are struggling right now as a Committee to clear the backlog. I wish to report that over the last 12 months, we have already done the accounts of over 130 State corporations in order to clear the backlog. In the last Parliament, for five years, they did 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: about 27. Our desire is just like hon. Khalwale did for Public Accounts Committee. The next Parliament, Inshallah, the 12 Parliament should not have any backlog, so that they can enjoy being Members. Right now, we are dealing with historical issues in one of the corporations. We are forced to deal with issues of 1988. How do you sustain an audit query of 1988 when the players have changed? How do you even remember? How do you even account for it? One of the reasons that caused that delay was not by Members alone; there were issues with the Office ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: In this 17th Report, one issue that was flagged out was the concession of Kenya Railways Corporation. It is a finding of this Committee that the concession was not properly done. This is not the Report of the 11th Parliament. Therefore, whatever recommendations you will see here are not the recommendations of the current Public Investments Committee (PIC). They are recommendations that were carried over from the last Parliament. The Committee felt that the concession was not handled well. It was not transparent. When the concession of Kenya Railways Corporation was done, national interest was not taken into account. That ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, the Committee recommended that KACC should also carry out investigations to establish the role played by the Treasury and why it did not put in place the necessary measures to safeguard public interest. Because of this, the Committee has recommended that the Treasury should always be prepared to safeguard the public interest in any investment venture. That is because those who are supposed to enjoy dividends are the taxpayers. Therefore, should any investments fail--- I stand here to say that, to date, all the serious investments - those of concession and privatisation of public investments - have not been ... view
