• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that The Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill be now read a Second Time. This is a small Bill with only one clause. That is because you directed the withdrawal of Clauses 2 and 3 based on the reasons I gave when I wrote to the Speaker. We are only dealing with one clause. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: That was last week. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. T.J. is ahead of us. He is already in the 2.30 p.m. Session when we are still in the Morning Session. The objective of this Bill is to amend Section 24 of the PFM Act of 2012. It empowers the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to establish a fund for the Houses of Parliament (Senate and the National Assembly). It is a long story and Members would recall that in 2018, the Chairperson of the Committee on Members Services and Facilities made a request in writing to the PSC to address various concerns relating to ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: contribute. People out there think we get free meals. We pay for every facility in Parliament, including food and the gym. Nothing is for free in Parliament. The Committee did a Report to this House and noted that so much is missing in terms of service delivery. Consequently, the PSC resolved to develop and publish regulations providing for the establishment of a Catering Fund under the PFM Act. The Resolution provided that the money we pay will be deposited, accounted for and managed in accordance with the PFM Act and the relevant laws. In 2018, the PFM Act only allowed ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: and Welfare can follow up. The Parliamentary Service Commission when submitting their budget can have a section showing how an amount collected during a year was audited. Based on that, we can question why the facilities are deteriorating and why they are not up to standard. We pay money, but we do not know where the money goes. We do not know how it is used. This is the House that does oversight. So, it must start with itself. It must start to oversee the resources that its Members pay. That is only one clause. I am sure we will ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first I want to thank the Chair only for one thing: transmitting to this House a Statement I can describe as fake. It is fake. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: This House cannot act in vain. What the Chair read as given by the Cabinet Secretary is not something which is practical. We represent people, including children of Kenya. The Cabinet Secretary for Education is playing with our children. Every Sunday when he appears on the COVID-19 briefings, there is something he says that: “I have been appointed by the President”. Yes, and vetted by this House, for the people of Kenya. You do not need to remind us that you have been appointed by the President. The President did not appoint you to wash his clothes. He appointed you ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: You should tell us how you will reach a child in Turkana or in Homa Bay. The rich with children in Brookhouse and Aga Khan have their children learning. We must be very honest. Their children are learning. Even those who have taken their children to private universities like Strathmore, their children are learning. Now, tell us about the 99 per cent of the children of Kenya, who we represent here? The answers given by the Chair are inadequate. Hon. Speaker, I want you to take charge and rule that that answer is not admissible. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: It is not admissible. You are talking about Radio Waumini. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have corrected me. Admissibility is about accuracy. It is a parliamentary term. I am sorry. I withdraw that. The document is accurate, but the information it carries, in my opinion, is fake. I have just seen the Statement. The people who now live in schools in Garissa are those who have been affected by the River Tana flooding. There is no radio. Let us not cheat ourselves. The Cabinet Secretary for Education must come out and tell us what plans he has for examinations. He is saying that he is not going to postpone the examinations. It ... view
