26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
First, there was Kshs4.6 billion which was to cater for outstanding allowances for the police and Prisons Service. There was Kshs16.8 billion for arrears in salaries of teachers that were carried over from the last Financial Year, 2012/2013, and the harmonization of, of course, commuter allowance. That is the famous tussle between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and KNUT. There was also Kshs1.8 billion to cater for the shortfall of the second phase of the implementation of the 2010/2013 agreement between the university unions. There was Kshs2 billion to cater for court awards for health workers at the Kenyatta National ...

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, up to there, our able Chair and the Committee, because the Constitution gives them powers to look and re-look--- The Committee Chairs who oversee particular sectors talked to the National Treasury and agreed on a number of reallocations and slashing, which we all support. I want to come to the Chairman’s report.

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Within last year, the Supplementary Estimates should have been moved, seconded and then the Chair comes with a detailed report and a Motion for Parliament to adopt. That is because ultimately, it is the report of the Chair that we will adopt.

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a number of amendments have been done by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I want to thank the Committee for doing that. It is a large Committee. It is a Committee that, in my opinion, the Parliament Service Commission (PSC) must fund. That is because its core business is so serious to this Parliament, to the people of Kenya and to the Government.

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Regarding the reductions that have been done by the Chair; the Kshs40 million for the National Gender and Equality Commission, it is to cater for the outstanding bill. According to the National Treasury, this is already reflected in the Supplementary Budget. This is to enable them pay the bill and they will not be asking for additional money from the Exchequer. So, this must come out very clearly.

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
The Kshs50 million for the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) is to cater for the national debate on the wage bill and the development of a wage policy. Hon. Members will agree with me that we need a home-grown solution. We do not want to re- invent the wheel. We do not want Sarah Serem to go and say that she needs Kshs200 million to do a national wage bill dialogue conference. The reduction of the wage bill must be home-grown. It must start with all sectors. That is from the counties to the National Assembly, to the governors in ...

26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker. In future, and I have shared this with both the Chair of the Committee and the National Treasury--- The Supplementary Budget that came from the National Treasury was balanced. So, we expect the Committee, through Parliament’s Budget Office, with all these reallocations, to give the House a balanced budget. We do not want to disable the fiscal framework. So, I have shared that with the Chair. However, I beg to support this Motion and inform my colleagues that we now have Kshs5 billion. We have no problem with CDF today. In my life in Parliament, the ...
