4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank Hon. Mboni, one of the serious Members of the Committee on Finance and National Planning. Hon. Atandi is here. I second the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the vetting for approval of the nominee for the position of Controller of Budget. Looking at Article 228 of the Constitution, which creates the office of Controller of Budget, I must state that this nominee becomes the second nominee under the Constitution to hold this very important office. This is a constitutional office that reports only to Parliament. It is ...

4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
You have to go for a competitive interview, qualify and win. The President, in the best of his knowledge, sends a name here, but you cannot say we were under a tree and we were promised this seat.

After we pass the budget, the other important person in ...

4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
It is important to know that Article 228 of the Constitution confers upon the Controller of Budget the role of making reports to Parliament on the implementation of the national and county governments’ budgets. The Speaker gave a directive there. Every three months, the Controller of Budget is under obligation to submit reports on county governments and national Government implementation of resources matrix.

This is where the predecessor of the nominee did very well, ...

4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
We want the Controller of Budget to ensure that the figures she presents to Parliament, either on the national Government, county government or Parliament are convincing and true. I recall in 2018 where the Controller of Budget had indicated that the accumulated pending bills for counties was Kshs108 billion, but the Auditor-General conflicted this and said that the genuine pending bills that the Government could pay was Kshs51 billion. These are two independent offices answerable to Parliament and dealing with figures, but giving conflicting information. This is a serious discrepancy. What about the people who are owed Kshs49 billion
