• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Regarding the inquiry recommended by PIC, it is apparent that the proposed takeover is in the documents presented by Government. It is a proposal. So, there is nowhere an Auditor- General can be compelled by this House. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, in any event, under the doctrine of separation of powers, the role of this House is representation, legislation, oversight and budget-making. As a House, when this merger takes place, when this House appropriates resources, it becomes the business of the committees of this House, including PIC and Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, to see whether the money spent on the merger was for the intended purpose. The House has no role neither does it participate in the formulation and implementation of Government policy, which falls within the domain of the Executive. If this House was to ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: must guide the House. That is why you are our leader. We cannot go on a fishing expedition. Committees of this House must follow the law. I take time to read, research and consult the legal and other staff of Parliament. I ask for your guidance before we deal with the matter. It is too early, the Chair should go back and continue with his investigations. I think the Chair cannot purport to stop Government policy formulation, it is illegal and you cannot use the Auditor- General because he has no powers. I rest my case. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I really have a lot of respect for Hon. Rashid, if he can sit down. It is a tradition that when a member is on his feet, you sit down. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first, we really want you to guide us that we do not discuss the Report. Secondly, we have no problem. Kshs150 million has been earmarked. It is the Auditor-General’s function to come and report how the Kshs150 million has been spent. It is not PIC. Based on when he puts the Report to Parliament, then PIC will interrogate the Auditor-General on how much he has spent. A concept paper on a merger of two big companies with shareholders will not even take six months. It will take one year. As the Chair himself said, we have no problem. ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and then next year, 2019/2020, when the Auditor-General audits this process, then PIC will come in. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a House of records and I think on the issue of sugar, there was a Communication from the Speaker that they bring a progress report. I want to go on the HANSARD. What I quoted this afternoon is Article 229(4) of the Constitution on the functions of the Auditor-General. Secondly, I also quoted Section 11(1) of the Public Audit Act 2015. If he has a contrary view that there is a matter before court, this House will ask the Member to table the living cases before court. He cannot just read from view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: messages on his phone. The Speaker must look at the document and the signature and say it is admissible. We have no problem with what we are discussing or what we have raised. There is nothing we are hiding. I am not acting for anybody, but where we feel a committee of the House or an individual Member is unprocedurally outside the Standing Orders, the Constitution, the traditions of the House, or even Communication of the Speaker… I was just telling my Whip that every time you make a Communication, I file it in my office. I use that communication ... view
