14 Feb 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, you have heard my good friend Hon. Babu Owino. We are dealing with a serious Bill, the PFM (Amendment) Bill.

It is good for Members to research and read. You can even pick the Bill and read its principal objects at the back page and make some contribution.

The other important thing is the issue of giving powers to the National Treasury in creating Treasury single account by having all the county exchequer accounts maintained at the Central Bank of Kenya as opposed to the current situation where the accounts are in all manner of commercial banks, and then lose much money when banks such as Chase Bank and Imperial Bank go under. I am sure those comments from Members will enrich the Bill when we reach the Committee of the whole House stage and I am sure in the coming weeks, we will have to dispense with ...
