4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, again, it was the issue of the Eurobond that displayed bad light to the Office of the Controller of Budget. At one point, in a report tabled before the House, the former Controller of Budget said that Eurobond was in order. You will give me another two minutes as I am about to wind up.

4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly:
I want to use the example of doctors. There will be no two ways for the nominee. We expect the nominee to be very clear on facts and figures. Conflicting reports should be a thing of the past moving on. Consequently, her first job when she assumes office this week, if this House approves her nomination, is to ensure that there is public confidence in what she tells this House. It is like the Chief Justice or the Speaker of the National Assembly. You must stand by your word.

With those many remarks, let us debate the Report, read it and look at what the Committee has said. Do not tell us who you met somewhere in a town, in a hall and who promised you a job either as an individual or a community.

Hon. Speaker, I do not want to interject my good friend the Chair of BAC. However, the matter Hon. Ichung’wah wants to deal with through a statement is not procedural. What I have tabled before this House is a Statement from the national Treasury and we referred it to the BAC. So, the BAC must bring a report for the House The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

to discuss and not a statement. So, it is not a Member who asked for a Statement. I tabled a document inquiring on the status. To each one of us seated here in Parliament, the question is not about the national Government not paying pending bills, but the National Treasury requesting to get the concurrence of the National Assembly and the Senate on the pending bills of 15 counties. So, we asked the Committee just like we did with the Supplementary Estimates to table a Report and make recommendations so that the House can decide. This is because we leave ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, before this House is a Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the vetting and approval of Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o, the nominee for Controller of Budget. I have never seen, in my 13 years as a Member of Parliament, a Member standing to discuss the speech of another Member.
