28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support the report of the BAC on the Supplementary Estimates I of 2019. First, I want to say very clearly that we must follow the law when formulating the Supplementary Budget as provided for in Article 223 of the Constitution and Section 44 of the PFM Act. The National Treasury and the National Assembly have two distinct roles in the Budget-making process or even in dealing with supplementary estimates. That is why we have the BAC together with the Departmental Committees which ensure that the Report before this House this afternoon has undergone ...

additional costs in some votes where little money was appropriated in the main Budget. So, if there is a need to increase amounts to certain sectors, the national Executive through the National Treasury will send Supplementary Estimates for the National Assembly to discuss. If there are emerging financial needs for which no amount was appropriated, for example, the floods taking place in our country now and roads destroyed and there were no emergency funds specifically for that matter, then there is need for supplementary estimates to be brought. Reallocation within the budget of funds which could not be absorbed by ...

28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
wasting time. This is the House that deals with budgeting. The Senate has no role. This is within the reading of the Constitution and sections of the PFM Act. Article 221, more specifically, gives the National Assembly exclusive authority to receive estimates of revenue and expenditure of the national Government and, to be more specific, the estimates of expenditure of the Judiciary. Article 221(6) requires each estimate of the Judiciary alongside that of Parliament, to be submitted to the National Assembly. This is the Constitution. It does not say Senate. It does not say certain offices in Nairobi. It says ...

28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, can you tell the Chair of BAC and the MP for Kirinyaga that the way they are talking is not parliamentary? In fact, even how close they are… You know this is the National Assembly. It is not a club in Westlands or Kikuyu. When you enter this Chamber, you must leave your behaviour outside. You are supposed to come here as an Hon. Member. They are my good friends, but it is like there is another game they have been playing.

28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
The Chairman of the Powers and Privileges Committee is the Speaker himself. You could easily find yourself being discussed on the Floor through a report. I have been here close to 13 years and I have never been discussed. Hon. Speaker, apart from the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the rest of the budget-making process is an exclusive domain of the National Assembly. If you want to participate in it, then you need to be in the House. So, I thank the BAC. They have allocated good resources that will help the President and ...

You know, Hon. Speaker, even if this Tanga Tanga group has won in terms of the BBI, some of us lost badly…

28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
He should leave me alone. He is disturbing me. He is telling me something here. Hon. Speaker, we want the committees of the House to do follow-ups. The Cabinet Secretary should bring an implementation matrix so that when we go to the next budget or supplementary budget, we can ably determine the success of the universal healthcare, the Naivasha Industrial Park and the express highway. We cannot be allocating resources and yet, we do not see the projects on the ground. I really want this House to help the President in the oversight role. The President is serious on the ...
