11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Certain amounts have been put in the Supplementary Estimates II for compensation of sugarcane farmers. There are a number of task forces going on with their work and they must be funded by the Government. Purchase of maize and fertilisers and the operationalisation of the Sports and Social Development Fund are key areas that are found in the Supplementary Estimates II. There are also issues within the Parliamentary Service Commission that are crucial to Members and the House. So, I ask the Members that we need to publish the Supplementary Appropriations Bill overnight and bring it to the House tomorrow ...

So, tomorrow, we will be urging the Members to approve this Budget and again do all the three stages of the Supplementary Appropriations Bill.

But this has happened due to unavoidable circumstances beyond the control of the Executive. I want to urge the National Treasury and the Executive that in as much as they can, they should avoid bringing two Supplementary Estimates in one financial year. I have been around for some time since the period of the former Ministers for Finance, Hon. Amos Kimunya, Hon. Michuki, Hon. Githae and many others. ...

power to make the budget, must find out why this is the case. Accounting officers who are responsible must be penalised. The issue of pending bills is a major problem facing this country. Suppliers and contractors in our country are closing down their businesses, taking loans from financial institutions and paying with interest, and yet they are not being paid for their services. The Government cannot keep their money in an open-ended time frame. Going forward, we must amend the Public Procurement Act and ensure that when you supply goods and services like in the private sector, you are paid ...
