• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: (xiv) The Hon. Vincent Kemosi Mogaka, MP Hon. Speaker, this is a Sessional Committee and it ought to be reconstituted at the commencement of every Session of the House. Section 15 of the Powers and Privileges Act, 2017 provides for the Committee on Powers and Privilege. This Committee is chaired by the Speaker and has 14 Members. I want to confirm to the House that the Majority and the Minority Party Whips submitted their lists of nominations to the Committee on Selection for consideration in accordance with Standing Order No.173. The Committee on Selection which I chair, during its first ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Standing Order No. 173 on the provisions of the nomination of Members to Select Committees, unanimously adopted the list. Hon. Speaker, this is the Committee that you chair and I am sure Members are aware that they have done a commendable job. The attendance to the Committee can be provided by the Director of Committees and the Whips. The Members have been diligent in their duties. The main function of this Committee is to inquire into the conduct of Members whose conduct is alleged to constitute a breach of privileges given to them by the Legislature. I urge the House ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: This is a House of records. When the Speaker is on the Chair, he is not the Chair of the Parliamentary Service Commission. He is the Speaker of the National Assembly in compliance with the Constitution and third in command. So, if the Commissioners are not here, then the Speaker is not here. He is here as the Speaker. So, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to retract that from the Hansard . view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support the BPS, 2020 and the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy. This document finds itself in the National Assembly in compliance with the PFM Act, Section 25 that requires the National Treasury to submit the BPS approved by Cabinet to Parliament – and this is where the problem is – by 15th February each year. Section 191 of the same PFM Act says that the BPS must be accompanied by the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill for that financial The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: year. Section 33 of the PFM Act provides for the submission of the Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy. The same document has been submitted to the Senate. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I want Mr. Kirui to allow me to speak to the Speaker. The Senate will also table and adopt a report of the BPS. In my opinion, the budget-making process is an exclusive function of the National Assembly, except for the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. Hon. Speaker, maybe, you will give guidance later. I think the BPS that will be submitted to the Senate must be different from the one that will be submitted to the National Assembly. The one of the Senate must only refer to the Division of Revenue aspect and ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: The BPS contains both macro and financial outlook of how the economy will look like in the next one year. It will tell us how the economy will look like in terms of revenue collection, expenditure and debt. That is the whole essence of the BPS. If you compare the Financial Year 2019/2020 to the Financial Year 2020/2021, you will find that the national Government budgetary allocation has been reduced by Kshs200 billion. In the last financial year, it was at Kshs2 trillion and now it is at Kshs1.778 trillion. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: We must hang the current Cabinet Secretary and the Government. They have realised that they cannot just have numbers, so they have reduced the budget. The budgetary allocation of Parliament is at Kshs36.2 billion. That is where we were in last financial year. That is our ceiling. The Judiciary was at Kshs18.1 billion in the last financial year. The Consolidated Fund Service, of course, is at Kshs574.6 billion and the County Government Equitable Allocation is at Kshs316.5 billion. This brings the total budgetary allocation to Kshs2.7 trillion. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: When I listen to the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, he is trying to play around with the ceilings of other arms of the Government. Hon. Speaker, I want you to have at the back of your mind that - and I know you are a seasoned Speaker and a lawyer - the fact that before you touch the ceiling of another arm of Government, particularly if you want to increase, you must be cognisant of Section 39 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. You cannot just do budget like you are selling scratch cards. The Chairperson ... view
