• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 1 of 2018) be now read a Third Time. I request the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, Hon. Kanini Kega to second. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Sectional Properties Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 23 of 2019) be now read a Third Time. I am sure there are many people wondering what sectional properties are. Those of you who will own or own apartments or office blocks in an apartment building, if this law is passed, you can have your own title deed and you can have ownership. Now you have no legal document. Those of us who were here yesterday and who followed the consideration of this Bill, like Hon. Nyikal and Hon. Mbadi, know what it is ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: No, this is a very important matter for the country. It is not like last Thursday. The debt ceiling is the fiscal control mechanism that is designed to maintain the fiscal sustainability of any economy. It is, therefore, vital for the maintenance of a very healthy financial position of any country. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010, in Articles 201(c) and 211, has given powers to Parliament and so does Section 50(2) of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012. The law stipulates that the national Government may borrow money not exceeding the limit set by Parliament. So, what Parliament is ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: high time policy makers at the National Treasury reconsidered this aspect. We urge them to reconsider revisiting the macroeconomic targets that underpin the East African Community (EAC) Convergence Framework under the EAC union arrangement since, as a country, we are not at the same level with those other countries. The national debt sustainability threshold indicates that the national debt level remains sustainable. That is very critical. As long as our country’s national debt level is sustainable, we are doing very well. Why do I say so? Kenya’s Financial Year 2019/2020 debt to GDP level is projected at 59 per cent ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Naivasha to Kisumu to Uganda. Many other key energy projects which are key drivers of the economy are important for us to do what we are doing this afternoon. In conclusion, it is important to know that this amendment will also ease the impact of borrowing from the domestic market by shifting the focus of the medium-term and the long-term borrowing from domestic to external borrowing. When the Government borrows domestically, it competes with the private sector and citizens. The Government stands a better chance. It gets first priority. The other sectors of the economy, the private sector and ordinary ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I remember in the 10th Parliament, the main function of an assistant minister was to answer questions. I used to answer questions but Hon. John Mbadi, because he was in the Prime Minister’s office, used to carry the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: briefcase of the former Prime Minister on Wednesdays. As the former Prime Minister was answering questions, he used to give him the documents. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: At least, I could answer questions. Because he was in the former Prime Minister’s Office, his main business was not to answer questions but to carry his briefcase on Wednesday - either for him or for the two deputies, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and Hon. Musalia Mudavadi. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think you need to make directions on who is accountable to Parliament. I know for the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), it is the Principal Secretaries (PSs) or accounting offices that answer questions before it. That is because they are accounting officers and it is in the Standing Orders. When it comes to questions, I think the Constitution is very clear that it is the CSs. We need the Speaker to give direction because we agreed last week that if the CS is not available, he can pick another date. However, who said if you fail to win ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I am sure our side will form the next Government. In the unlikely event he loses, we might appoint him as the CAS for the CS for Finance. view
