• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. From the outset, I support the adoption of this Report. Let me begin by profoundly congratulating the Committee for a job well done. They have made history by ensuring that this House is up to date as required in terms of ensuring that the audited books of accounts by the Government have been reviewed and brought before the Floor of this House, so that we can do what we are doing today; that is, to debate and adopt the reports so that they can ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: no action. Action must be taken against those officers who have been mentioned in this audit Report. Otherwise, what we are doing will be an effort in futility. That is because these reports have been published and the Auditor-General has put the records straight. Accounting Officers in certain departments of Government have not been able to account for huge amounts of money worth Kshs2.8 Billion. In terms of revenue collection, you will be very surprised to see how much our economy is leaking. It should be a priority to use such important reports as the basis to ensure we close ... view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House:- The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Third Quarterly Report for the year 2014 covering the period 1st July to 30th September, 2014. The Report of the Auditor-General on the Financial Statements of the Judicial Service Commission for the year ended 30th June, 2014 and certificate of the Auditor- General therein.

• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Procedural Motion. By reducing it to one day and given that we are going on recess - in anticipation of the recess on Thursday -it is basically to give the same Committee time to engage the stakeholders. I had the benefit of seeing that Bill this morning and it is amending over 30 Acts. So, it is good for our country because I think the situation which we are facing today is in two forms. One, we must make sure that legislation is in place. This same House also amended the ... view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, today, when you see Kenyan women being stripped it is not because there is no law, there is the Sexual Offences Act by hon. Lady Judge Njoki Ndungu. It is about the men and women who are supposed to enforce our laws. However, since we are anticipating going on recess for the long haul, it is good that we reduce the publication period. If we do not reduce to one day then the maturity period of this Bill will be long and the Committee members will start their Christmas or New Year celebrations without engaging. view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: So, basically what we are doing is to reduce the period so that tomorrow morning they can engage the various stakeholders. So, I think it is a simple matter so that we give the Chair and his team time to go out and look at every piece of amendment they are doing to that particular Act. view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, we support because as the Legislature we have an important role to play in securing our nation from the threats of terror, cattle rustling, money launderers, drug traffickers and many other threats. So, I agree with the Chair and I support. view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the entire House for a very robust debate on this Motion that is set to increase the debt ceiling. I want to make several fundamental statements very clear to the House and to the country. First, the request to raise the debt ceiling to Kshs2.5 trillion was as a result of an increased requirement for external resources to fund major infrastructure projects in the country. They envisage external borrowing. This is very clear. These are figures. We are not talking hot ... view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Junet, the Director of Elections of the purported elections, is discussing the aborted Senate nominee from Siaya. Hon. Ken Obura is still also discussing the matter of the Senator of Homa Bay with hon. Junet, the new Director of Elections in the boardroom elections that took place over the weekend. Further feasibility studies on the project to be financed indicate favourable return on investment. Scenarios were given by the National Treasury to the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and they were convinced on the favourable return on investment on these projects. This was done before the Committee. The ... view
• 9 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, Kenya’s current debt to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio is very favourable. In addition, despite the setting of this external debt ceiling, the mandate of approving specific external borrowing rests with this House. This is what Members need to know. Even if we are raising the external debt ceiling, every time the National Treasury wants external borrowing, the mandate of approving external borrowing will still come to the Floor of this House in various forms. This is done in every financial year in every Budget. I am sure hon. Nyikal, my very good friend, will have the opportunity ... view
