• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I support Vote 2111. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have a lot of interest in this office. I am a very sad man because the Controller of Budget is a constitutional office holder who is appointed under Article 228 of the Constitution. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Article 228(5) of the Constitution says that the Controller of Budget shall not approve any withdrawal from the public funds, unless he is satisfied that the withdrawal is authorised by law. This House must send a very strong signal to the Controller of Budget because of the kind of corruption that is going on in county governments. People are not being paid their pending bills. Those who are paid are told to pay 40 per cent of the money. If you owe the county government Kshs10 million, you are told to give them Kshs4 million and then they give you ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: So, the Office of the Controller of Budget was created to make sure that withdrawals from both the national and county governments are scrutinised. We are telling the new Controller of Budget that we cannot watch as this goes on. If a county government is not paying money, then do not give them money. Do not give them development funds. You can liaise with the National Treasury. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: We are also telling the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) that you know where money is being stolen. You can look at the lifestyle audit of governors who five years ago, some of us were raising money for them. They did not have money for campaigns, but today they are multi-billionaires. This House has an oversight role and the Controller of Budget reports to this House through a quarterly report to the House. So, we asking the Controller of Budget, the substantive Auditor-General when appointed and all the independent officers to be at ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I am one person, I think with Hon. Amos Kimunya, who participated in the creation of these commissions in the 10th Parliament. There was a specific reason and I am sure the framers of the Constitution felt that these are independent commissions and they had specific functions. But let me come to the IPOA. The first Chair was Mr. Njeru, who is now a member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). I was in the 11th Parliament with many of the Members here where he profiled that Commission. He profiled it yet it used to protect ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Alice is a good friend of mine. I have nothing against her. I am only saying that I heard Hon. Oundo make negative remarks, that IPOA is not doing its work. However, Hon. Alice is saying that Prof. Oundo said that IPOA have done a good job. So, we need to put the record straight. Hon. Alice, I have nothing against you. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the former Chair, not yet the former, but on the way… view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: He is the current Chair. I said ‘in the process’ but he is still the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I really want to support the JSC for the amount allocated to it. I will not speak the way the Hon. Member for Kikuyu has spoken. The Attorney-General sits in the JSC as one of the 11 commissioners. So, you cannot isolate him outside the decision of the JSC. I am sure, just like the Legislature, we ask all the players in the three arms of Government to always work harmoniously, to work together and work for the ... view
