28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
The National Treasury submitted the 2019 BPS to the National Assembly as required by the PFM Act. Consequently, departmental committees invited Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to review the BPS. We are, indeed, pleased with the fruitful deliberations that took place in finalising this report which today the House has the opportunity to discuss.

The BPS contains fourfold policy; both the macroeconomic policies, the financial outlook regarding the revenue that is anticipated; the expenditure anticipated; the borrowing that will finance the budget and the expenditures. One, the national Government has been allocated Kshs1.7 trillion; Parliament has been allocated Kshs38.5 billion; the Judiciary Kshs17.9 billion; and the county governments’ sharable revenue is Kshs310 billion. I saw the Senate saying they are going to add Kshs20 billion to the counties. The question is from where? This is the House that has the powers of budget-making. It is for us to act: it is not them to ...

I saw today that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government refused to go to the Senate. If you ask me, the Cabinet Secretaries for Interior and Coordination of National Government, Defence, Foreign Affairs and Education outside ECD, have no business in the Senate. No Cabinet Secretary should be worried because the Senate cannot even impeach them. The only House that can impeach is the National Assembly. So, even if Matiang’i defies them, they will just discuss him. I am sure tonight the Senators will go for him, but it is the law, not me. They cannot ...

macroeconomic conditions as well the trends in the previous financial year. An increase in additional expenditure will make the Government to either increase borrowing or adjust. I need to raise this matter. Our debt level is now at the breaking point. It is important for the National Treasury and the Government to diversify ways of financing our budget. Maybe public private partnership is the way to go.

I appreciate the comments given regarding the alignment of the budget to the Big Four plan and the medium term policy. In the Report, there is a detailed programme and the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2018/2019.

28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
The Government is also working with county governments in the implementation of the Big Four. That is why Hon. Chris was saying we cannot implement the Big Four Agenda without involving county governments when it comes to the universal health coverage. It is already under piloting in four counties. This will be rolled out to the rest of the counties in due course. The Government is also in the process of completing the ongoing stalled projects before commencing new projects. The Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture must allocate specific money for stalled projects. They cannot ...

It is against this background that the President recently issued Executive Order No.1 of 2019 as a framework in terms of coordinating the implementation of the national Government programmes and projects.

28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
The National Treasury, in their presentation, has established what they called “project implementation management unit” within the National Treasury that will coordinate and review all projects being implemented across the country by the national Government. This measure, moving forward, will address issues relating to project prioritisation, their funding, implementation and completion. Fourth, in the presentation by the National Treasury, they said the Government had issued guidelines on pending bills. This animal called pending bills is another form of corruption. If you go to counties, you will find people who are saying a county has Kshs2 billion pending bills, but there ...

We want genuine contractors and suppliers to be paid. But somebody is saying I have done this and I need Kshs 20 million but when you go on the ground there is nothing. This animal called pending bills both at the national and at the county government…
