• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a very good amendment. County governments, in collusion with county assemblies, doctor county budgets midway. The moment the Clerk tables the budgets for the counties, it is mandatory that the same copy is given to the Controller of Budget and the Senate. The Senate Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments should have a memory when they want to investigate the original budget tabled. This is a very good amendment that will bring accountability and transparency in the budget-making process of county assemblies and governments. I support. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: This is one of the committees that I am proud of as the Leader of the Majority Party. On the first amendment, when the Cabinet Secretary tables the BPS on 15th February, the House committees have a short period to consider it yet the BPS is the principal document that sets out the fiscal framework for that financial year. Moving it from 15 days to 30 days is very important, so that the National Assembly can take its role of the budget-making process seriously. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: This is a very good amendment. The Chair is trying to do what we already did in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill. This is very important for the country. The Cabinet Secretary comes here, reads the Budget Estimates for both the recurrent and development, then tells the House how he wants to finance the budget. Now, we are saying that we must pass the Finance Bill before a Cabinet Secretary comes here to read the budget. Based on that, the Cabinet Secretary will tell us that the budget he is giving to The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: the House is already financed, so that we can reduce on the huge deficits. What happens under the current law is that the Cabinet Secretary comes and reads the budget, tells us that there is a deficit of, say, Kshs690 billion, and then the House will deal with the Finance Bill. So, what happens in case the House disagrees with his tax measures? That means the deficit or gap will increase. I hope the Senate will deal with this Bill before we go for the long recess or the other budget. The Cabinet Secretary should bring the Finance Bill before ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is an important aspect of the county assemblies. We have created devolution and county assemblies. County assemblies, unless they create three important organs that will be synonymous with the National Assembly, the members of county assemblies (MCAs) will never interrogate anything. They do not have a directorate of legislative and procedural services. Nobody is teaching them how to draft Motions and Bills. County assemblies have no capacity in terms of institutional framework of interrogating the county governments’ budgets. Some of us are proud of the Parliamentary Budget Office. In a minute, they can do better work ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I can see one of the presidential candidates coming in. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I want to agree with Hon. (Dr.) Makali that for consistency purposes, because at the national level we call it the BPS, let us leave it for the counties as fiscal policy statement, so that we do not create any confusion. I totally agree. People ask why county assemblies are misbehaving and fighting in the county chambers. It is because we established assemblies with no capacity. So, I think going forward, a replica of the National Assembly of Kenya must be built at the county assemblies, in terms of legislative department, legal department and the budget office, so that the ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairperson, I beg to move that the Committee does report to the House its considerations of the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, No.51 of 2017 and its approval thereof with amendments. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House does agree with the Committee in the said Report. I also request Hon. Limo, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I have no problem with the recommital, but the Chair should state clearly. I had an amendment on Clause 8. He should state which section of Clause 8 he is recommitting. He cannot re-commit everything. Maybe, he wants to recommit my section. So, let him be clear on the Hansard which section of Clause 8 he wants to recommit. view
