• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: 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
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: You can imagine that the YEDF is a critical institution. First of all, how did they end up getting surplus funds to deposit in that bank? What was even more shocking is that the National Treasury has over the years issued prudential guidelines to all Government-owned agencies to invest any surplus money in Government-owned banks. This particular transaction was contrary to the National Treasury Circular that required any Government investment or institution to seek the approval or guidance of the National Treasury on matters of how they will invest surplus money. This was done behind the back of the National ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The suspended Acting CEO, Ms. Catherine Namuye occasioned the withdrawal of funds from the Fixed Deposit Account at Chase Bank to pay for goods and services while the Fund had an Operations Accounts held at Equity Bank and Kenya Commercial Bank. This is a sad state. Immediately we got involvement in this matter, we were told on the face that this issue was being investigated by the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). Later on, it is we, as the PIC who led the process. We were even telling them where the funds ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The alleged award of contract on ICT strategy and ERB system service to Quorandum Limited. by the YEDF did not comply with the provisions of Article 227 of Constitution. There was no tender at all. The whole thing started on a cup of tea between the then Acting CEO and the alleged owner of Quorandum Limited. Eventually, what was supposed to be a friendly business contact ended up being a fraudulent transaction that will be difficult to recover even if some of these individuals ended up in court or the Government decided to use other mechanisms in recovering these huge ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Further, Ms. Catherine Namuye did not present any evidence on her allegation that the Board was involved in the procurement process of the alleged consultancy services by Quorandum Limited. Instead, there were many blame games. When we talked to the Acting CEO, she said that the Board approved the payments. The Chairman also said that the Board view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: approved the payments. But they were unable to present any evidence other than fictitious board minutes that the Committee, later on, was of the view that were not accurate. Later on, we made a conclusion that the whole thing was a conspiracy between the Chair and the Acting CEO. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Let me say again that the Acting CEO was acting once, then down the line it is alleged that she was confirmed. Three months down the line, we were again told that she was acting. These are some of the issues, as a Committee, we could not understand why the parent Ministry which has a representative and an alternate Board member did not act and allowed this critical organisation to have an Acting CEO for over two years and without a Company Secretary since the formation of the YEDF. These are issues we found wanting. Three other former CEO exited ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The responsibility of an Accounting Officer under the Constitution, under Article 68(1)(a) and (b) of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act requires that resources ought to be utilised in a legal, authorised and effective way hence Ms. Namuye could not cry foul. When we pushed her, at one point she said that she had been victimised by the Board because the Board wanted certain business favours. Another time, she said that she had been pressurised by the Chair and another time she said that she had been pressurised by the Ministry officials. All these, we realised later on that she ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Ms. Catherine Namuye the then Accounting Officer violated Section 7 to Section 72 of the PFM Act, 2012 by allowing Mr. Bruce Odhiambo unfettered use of Government facilities. You could see the conspiracy between the CEO and the Chair. The Chairman was given all the privileges of an Accounting Officer or an executive chairman. This is a clear illustration that the then Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) had issues that were of interest to them and eventually this led to the loss of hundreds of millions of shillings. Catherine Namuye, knowingly, engaged herself in improper conduct as defined ... view
