• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was watching Hon. Irungu Kang’ata as I was performing my prayers and I had to rush. I want to confirm to the House that the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) based on law, on the same Article 205(1), did their second revised formula to this House. This was done when the Liaison Committee--- I want the Speaker to hear me. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I can confirm as the Leader of the Majority Party that I appeared before the Liaison Committee. I am sure the Chairman for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was in session in Room 9 in which the CRA was interrogated after they had convinced the Senate. Even that report came here through a Message from the Senate after the Senate’s sub-committee on finance dealt with the matter. I can confirm this authoritatively from the HANSARD. I can even remember part of the variation they did to the current formula, where they introduced a new sub-section, something on financial ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I am sure the Clerks-at-the-Table will confirm to you if the Report was debated. The Liaison Committee dealt with it and I am sure Hon. Gumbo will save my skin. This House is not contravening Article 205. This House is in order. The only thing, maybe, is administrative. If it is confirmed that it has not been debated, then we have to debate that Report, adopt it and deal with the County Allocation of Revenue for the Financial Year 2016/2017. Thank you. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I totally agree with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but both he and his colleague, Dr. Makali, who has worked at the National Treasury for many years, have left out something. Hon. Gumbo said that what this House has passed as the BPS should not be contradicted in terms of the figures. The Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, in Section 25(8) says that if the CS deviates from what was presented in the BPS, he shall contend with what the House does. Before the House approves the BPS, the CS is supposed to table ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Even our Committees have issues to explain. If they have passed the BPS, they should tell us who approved the difference. It is not just the National Treasury that has erred. All of us have erred. The law is very clear. The CS must provide a Memorandum to Parliament if he exceeds the figures contained in the BPS. I confirm that that Memorandum has been provided. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support the amendments by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee except one. The other amendments which he has presented make sense. It is not a lot of money. Financial institutions will be established. The CS for the National Treasury has in mind the financial reporting centre and securing and coordinating the Kenyan border. The amendments on Parliamentary Service Commission are okay. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The 349 Members plus are in the National Assembly. We have a function to make sure that the taxpayers’ money is protected. I said that the Kenya Meat Commission should be privatised. The Government has no business doing the work of the private sector. Building of malls is the work of the private sector. Secondly, the Government official who guaranteed loan for a Government institution to build a mall was wrong. That person must be surcharged. The Kshs705 million is a lot of money. If it is distributed to the 290 constituencies, it will help. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what you have said is true. We are serious legislators. We will delete that section that talks about Kshs1.5925 billion of the State Department of Planning and Statistics to be taken to Lake Basin Development Authority from the Report. Ultimately, after we reject Kshs705.2 million, we will go further, with your permission, to draft an amendment to reject Kshs1.5925 billion. That money will be used for the construction of a mall in Kisumu. That is in the Report. If we reject Kshs705 million, then it goes back to the original figure which even the National Treasury when they ... view

• 14 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: (f) Kamukunji Constituency. (g) Balambala Constituency. (h) Dadaab Constituency. (i) Msambweni Constituency. Hon. Speaker, I will ask you to ask the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Chair to set up a sub-committee within the Committee to deal with the matters of constituencies and political parties’ audit reports from the Auditor-General, so that Members of Parliament are not accused of sitting on the constituencies’ audited reports, which concern them. view
