• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The third recommendation is that the officers must also submit audited documents. Those who fail to submit audited documents must be individually held liable and surcharged for such delays because they cost taxpayers a lot of money. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The fourth recommendation is, three months after the end of this financial year, the Auditor-General should publish and publicise the names of State corporations that have not submitted their complete financial statements as required. The Auditor-General is, by law, required to submit audited statements within a specific time. Therefore, if any State entity does not comply and fails to assist our auditors in meeting this particular objective, then its name must be published so that every Kenyan knows the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who does not give information to the Auditor- General’s office The fifth recommendation is that the Auditor-General ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: The other thing we realised was the issue of pre-arrears audit queries. The Auditor- General has had challenges with regard to this matter. We recommend, just like we had done in our 20th Report of State Corporations Accounts, that the Auditor-General ensures that until an audit matter is satisfactorily resolved, it should continue to appear in the subsequent audit reports of the Auditor-General on financial statements of the respective State corporations. The Committee, following consultations with the Auditor-General, recommends that matters that have been exhaustively addressed by the Committee and recommendations made, should not recur in the subsequent reports of ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, this Committee continues to play a very important role in the examination of audited statements of different State corporations. I want to take this opportunity to thank your office and you individually as the Speaker of this House. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Clerk of the National Assembly. I also want to thank the secretariat of this Committee headed by Susan Maritim and all other members of staff who worked day and night to ensure that this Committee not only generates some of the most conclusive and in-depth reports, but also addresses the backlog ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I would now like to ask Hon. Olago Aluoch to second the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have contributed to this important Report. The parastatal sector is the engine to realising meaningful development and industrial take-off. Without this sector being properly and efficiently run, we will continue to have many sectors of our economy ailing thus lagging behind in sphere of development. There are a number of parastatals that have, over the years, been making huge losses at the expense of taxpayers. When we interrogated this, we realised that the Government also contributes to some of the challenges that parastatals are ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: happening in Tanzania. On the contrary, year in year out, we have an NSSF that is controversy- ridden. It has become another tag for corruption. We must deal with the situation at hand. In terms of legislation, we have some of the best legal frameworks, but they are not adhered to. Two years ago, His Excellency the President released the Mwongozo rules, but none is being followed. What happened to that report that we expected would have collapsed so many parastatals into some key profit-making parastatals? I believe it was beaten because the cartels, tender-preneurs and experts in looting do ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I want to appreciate my colleagues’ sentiments. I have had the privileged of being the Chair of this very important Committee and this is not a mean realisation. I want to thank the 27 Members who have given me that opportunity. I have had the tag of being among the few Chairs who were reelected unopposed. I do not take that for granted. I want to thank them for the confidence they have shown in my leadership and promise them that Inshallah in the next Parliament, I will continue. I appreciate and thank the people of Eldas ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: This House is not a conveyor belt. I want to urge those who will be privileged to be appointed to serve in the Committee of Implementation that they must take their work seriously. The moment a Report is adopted by the House, it must be actualised, domesticated and translated into facts. That is the only way as truly the democratically elected representative of the people we will go forward. Looking at the provisions of Article 1, when the framers of the current Constitution equated sovereignty to representation, they knew the monumental task elected The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: representatives of the people of Kenya had. Therefore, my plea is let us change our status and stand firm for the rights of our electorate. view
