12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There are very few Members who served in the 8th, 9th and 10th Parliaments. They are hardly 20. So, it is good that we follow this new system. So, when we go to the Committee of Supply, the Clerk-at-the-Table will call the vote and the Chair will propose the Question for the global figure to be allocated to that particular vote or ministry. At this point, the Chair may allow debate on that particular vote, item or programme, for example, the State Department for Immigration. This stage is similar to that allowed when a clause is ...

minutes. This is because if you look at the Order Paper, we are going to deal with over 65 votes of various departments and ministries. This gives the representatives of the people of Kenya the powers given to them in the budget-making process. You remember in the 10th Parliament, the current President was the Minister for Finance and the technical team in the ministry brought a budget that had so many errors. That is why now the powers lie in this House; that we go vote by vote where there is guillotine or mob justice, we look at vote by ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank various Members, led by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, who contributed to this Bill. The Kenya Coast Guard Service Bill, 2017 works to provide for the establishment, functions, discipline, organisation, administration of the Kenya Coast Guard Service and all connected purposes. This Service shall have the mandate of law enforcement and security in managing Kenya’s internal and territorial waters. If we had this Bill in place today and the necessary legal framework, what I saw in the news whereby two Kenyan police and ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to do more. He should tell us the vote where the money is coming from and the vote it is being taken to. Of course, he said he is coming to the Cabinet Office. But, where is the Kshs35 million coming from? The Chairman is competent, he can explain that.

around the country. Without having a contingency plan for those technical colleges in terms of recruiting more tutors, equipping them and making sure the students who go to these colleges get loans from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), those TVETs will just be white elephants. I hope the Budget and Appropriations Committee is removing that money and taking it to TVET for capitation. He must be very clear whether it is for capitation, for students to access more funds or for recruiting new teachers for those colleges. Currently, there are 4,000 available for TVET colleges. The TSC does not ...

12 Jun 2018 in National Assembly:
The amount of money allocated by this House to TSC for hiring of teachers to teach at TVET institutions is not included. I want to go on record. That is why the Budget and Appropriations Committee got representation. In fact, the information from the Ministry of Education is that the teachers who would teach at TVET institutions will work under Public Service Commission (PSC) and not under TSC anymore. That is the information out there. If they cannot recruit from the resources given to them, then this House is under obligation to recruit teachers for the new TVET institutions where ...
