25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee who in just a few minutes ago was discussing a trip that we are supposed to go to Syria; on a very serious private matter. From the onset, I want to thank the National Treasury and the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a job well done. First, I would start with the Budget because my main concern was that this Budget is in tandem with the manifesto and the promises made to the Kenyan people by the Jubilee Government. I said, “Yes”. Huge ...

25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
The biggest party in terms of numbers in this House, if today we were in a Parliamentary system, it should have produced a Prime Minister. But they refused; I wanted a parliamentary system, but my former boss and my mentor, the Former Right hon. Prime Minister, went for a Presidential system. Little did he know that he did not have a tyranny of numbers? Hon. Speaker, if I go back to the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), we have given an extra Kshs10 billion. I urge hon. Members to prudently use that money. Let us use that money on education because ...

Hon. Speaker, I hope Hon. Musyimi and his Committee have addressed Article 221(6); in the event that this Appropriation Bill is not assented to, what next? To finish, I have given all the praises I could have given to the Jubilee Government, which I and my colleagues represent here. I have done all the praising I could have done to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but I want to do a small critique of the Committee and the National Treasury. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ...

25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
This Appropriation Bill 2014/2015 has a financing gap of Kshs17 billion. I have no problem; in fact, I am very happy with the way money has been allocated because Kshs5 billion was allocated to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). That is good news. An amount of Kshs5 billion was allocated for public participation. Why do you go to Garissa and ask the great people of that county what they want and then you come back to Parliament and you do not give them something? Kshs5 billion for public participation is good and so is the PSC allocation of over Kshs6 ...

25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
If you look at the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, section 39(4)(c) says that any increase in expenditure in a proposed appropriation is balanced by a reduction in the expenditure in another appropriation, or any appropriation reduction in expenditure is used to reduce it. My solution to this is that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury should not panic. Once we approve this--- Once it goes through the Third Reading, the Budget and Appropriations Committee has friends--- After two months he should come with Supplementary Estimates. I am sure that the two months he is given, he is ...

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Okoth should know that I am contributing to a very serious matter. It is not a matter that deals with--- In my community, we do not talk about Saba Saba and my faith---

25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I am going to ignore it. I am going to dialogue, and I am sure the able Chairman and the Committee Members--- Please after we do this, they should come back to the House because it is not prudent or fair to have an Appropriation Bill that has a serious financing gap. From my little accounts--- I have not studied accounts like Hon. Ng’ongo, but I run some little kiosks. There is no way you can increase the expenditure and your revenue is constant. Even when you run a kiosk like the one I run in my constituency---

25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
So, I think the root cause of this Kshs17 billion0--- I have discussed with the Chairman, Hon. Ngong’o and Hon. Aden. We will pass it, the President will assent to it and then after two months the Cabinet Secretary will brings Supplementary Estimates. My parting word is that the solution to the so called national dialogue is the Budget of 2014/2015. Let the Cabinet Secretaries implement it; let the Executive implement it; let the President have time to monitor his Cabinet Secretaries and Parliament plays its oversight role.
