3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not speaking as the Leader of the Majority Party, I am speaking as the Member for Garissa Township Constituency. I also hold a privileged position given to me by the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group to be their patron. I am not a framer of the Constitution. The wisdom behind the framers of the Constitution is to realise that Article 204 is important for certain reasons, certain resources and certain communities. I would like to send a warning to the Commission on Revenue Allocation. There are places like Igembe that border Isiolo. Some of us are proud ...

certain assistance. We never had that before. Two, CRA is supposed to present to this House the marginalisation ratio policy. We are aware that they want to give every part of this country including Bondo, Eldoret North, Ichaweri where the President comes from and Kabartonjo where Mzee Moi came from. Even in Nyanza, there are certain areas which have been left out. We have no problem if they are both on board. Even in Endebess and parts of Emurua Dikirr there are such areas too. You cannot tell me you will give this money to all the sub-locations in this ...

As I finish, I am very happy we are dealing with this matter today. Hon. Henry Rotich is appearing before the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Chairman, you must ask him where the administrator of this Fund is. We need his physical location. We need to talk to him and he needs to go to the ground. How do you take eight years to implement Kshs11 billion? How do you take eight years as a country? That tells you the kind of bureaucracy and failure the Government has. Eight years and people have no water and electricity, no roads, mothers ...

3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
We were told the essence of this supplementary was to address emerging challenges in the implementation of the budget process that had occurred in the course of the financial year. This was occasioned by the shortfalls in revenue collection by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and shortfalls in salaries following job evaluation in the Civil Service. There was also the need to honour the Collective Bargaining Agreements in the health and education sectors and, of course, it is to create some little more resources for security related expenditure. Other reasons that were given for the Supplementary Estimates II included the ...

The way the CS is using Article 223 on unforeseen expenditures, I hope he uses that to help the many millions of Kenyans who are suffering from floods and infrastructure which has been destroyed. He does not need to come back to Parliament. He can use Article 223 to allocate resources to flood victims in every part of our country. That is better than allocating Kshs1.5 billion to Ruaraka’s ghost and fictitious accounts.

3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
This House is under obligation to amend the PFM Act and give provisions under it on how a CS can use provisions of that Article in the Constitution. In my opinion, it is being abused.

3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
I really want to thank the Chairman of the BAC and the Committee where the Leader of the Minority Party sits. Nobody should use this House to sanitise illegal and fictitious payments. We can, at least, protect the image and integrity of this House. The Departmental Committee on Lands should conclude that investigation. The Senate is dealing with a matter which is already being done by the National Assembly. We are wasting public resources. We do not want to sanitise that Kshs1.5 billion. Let it be in the records of the House, through the BAC, that until we go to ...
