• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my worry is that those of us who believe in big parties; if it goes this way going forward to the 14th Parliament, there will be many Independent Members. We now have 14 Independents Members. It is not only here in Kenya, but everywhere in the world, even in the House of Commons. The Independents will increase in number and Members from small parties like Hon. David Ochieng’ will also increase. But those of us who believe in big parties will not deter, but will still maintain. I am sure even those who are Independent and those who ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, through the Clerk who is here, we will move very fast. We will ask the Procedure and House Rules Committee to sit and amend all the Standing Orders from No. 174 to 176. The report will be tabled here for debate. I agree with you that we are colleagues and as Members of Parliament, we have roles. In your Communication, there is something that was not clear to me. That Independent Members must have a representative in the Committee on Selection, while at the same time, you said that an Independent Member is independent of the other one. ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, last week we had a Report tabled with a Schedule. The Committee, according to the Vice-Chair, met and have already complied with the procedure. It is now for you to order the Table Office and the Clerk’s Office to circulate the new Amended Schedule. The Member is just talking about having tabled the new Schedule. I also need to see the new Schedule arising from the amendments of the original Schedule by the Committee on Monday. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will not go back to the schools issue. Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me, at the outset, support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Estimates of Expenditure and Revenue of the National Government, Judiciary and Parliament. It is good for the people of Kenya to know that we are doing this in compliance with Article 221 of the Constitution and Section 39 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, where the Cabinet Secretary must present to Parliament the Estimates of Expenditure and Revenue by 30th April of each year. Again, Section ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Statement is concerned. What does that mean? It means that if there will be an increase in expenditure in any proposed appropriation, it must be balanced by a reduction in expenditure in another proposed appropriation. So, this Budget must balance, and I think that is where we are headed. Today is the beginning. I am sure we will discuss the Budget the whole day. Based on the approval of this Report by the House, the Cabinet Secretary for Finance will give the highlights of the 2020/2021 Budget to this House and the country on Thursday afternoon. First, I thank the ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: We had a 2019/2020 Supplementary II Budget which attempted to address COVID-19- related expenditures. The interventions were not comprehensively addressed. The only reason was that there were no available resources. There was a revenue shortfall as well as little time left before the end of this financial year. We must address the economic, social and health effects of COVID-19. That is why the Jubilee administration, under President Kenyatta in particular, has developed a comprehensive stimulus package totalling Kshs53.7 billion which is geared towards The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: addressing and taking care of our vulnerable groups during this difficult moment. I am sure the Kshs53.7 billion will not be stolen. Accounting officers must listen to the House. The people who need it are at the most critical moment of their lives. We are sending the Kshs14.3 billion to enhance the liquidity of businesses, cover the VAT refunds owed to local business men and the payment of pending bills. The Budget and Appropriations Committee and this House must speak to pending bills. Whether it is to the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) or to corporates, VAT refunds and pending ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: As I said, we want to give every Member an opportunity to contribute to this Budget. So, today in the morning and afternoon sittings, we will deal with the Budget, so that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) can use the approved Report to prepare his highlights on Thursday. Once that is done, we will start the Committee of Supply next week. Once we finish that, we will deal with the Appropriation Bill and Finance Bill. That will complete the whole cycle of the Budget-making process of Parliament. view
