• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee observed with concern that several State corporations continue to operate under financial constraints occasioned by mismanagement or imprudent commercial management. In addition, some State corporations continually breach the National Treasury guidelines on investment of surplus funds and without authority or approval of the budget and other management on guidelines on remuneration and salary increment for both staff and the board. Further, the Committee has continually taken great exception to the low pace at which the Government has implemented the recommendations of this House arising from various reports. In the civilised world, a House of Parliament or the Legislature ... view

These issues must be fixed once and for all so that these institutions are given the ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: productivity of some of these key Government investments. They are not dumping grounds. They are not institutions which we allocate funds and they are not expected to generate funds to support other Government ventures. It is high time we turned around some of these organisations. There is one notable organisation that has been turned around because of prudent financial management and it is the National Oil Corporation of Kenya. It was one of the worst loss making entities 10 years ago. Today, it is at the top simply because of not only measures that have been put in place to ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: of opportunities, investments and taxpayers’ money. This is one of the issues that the auditors have raised that must be brought to an end.

This is one of the issues we realised is not being applied. view
