3 May 2018 in National Assembly:
The other thing the House and the Committee needs to look at - I do not know whether they have put it in their Report - is variations. The Constitution and the PFM Act are very clear on how a CS can vary support to a project. But we have seen variations as large as 185 per cent. That is unacceptable. It is not right. The budget making process was given to the National Assembly and not the Senate. We must guard that constitutional powers given to this House.

I hope the CS will at times also use Article 223 to give resources to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). This provision is only used for certain dark payments which are done in the middle of the night. We do not have a problem if these payments are done for building a road in our constituencies. Why does one want to use Article 223 to pay Kshs1.5 billion? I told the Chairman of the BAC that, going forward, for the budget that we table today and supplementary budgets that will come, Members of Parliament should scrutinise these documents ...

such as Goldenberg. I really want to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands and ask them to be firm and not be compromised. The President gave his word yesterday. He said that the war on corruption will not spare anybody including Parliament in these five years. If we want to be remembered as legislators, let us take the war on corruption even within the corridors of Parliament, stand and protect the Constitution and the Report that comes through the House.

Finally, I would like to highlight the key figures. The Supplementary Budget has a net decrease of Kshs17.6 billion. These are mostly cuts from the development budget which in the Report tabled by the Chair, had a net decrease of Kshs40.8 billion. When you cut the development budget, you are actually reducing development projects in our constituencies. The Cabinet Secretary must also explain to the Committee and this House, the projects, the constituencies and counties that have become victims of these development cuts. If they are projects in Garissa Township Constituency, I will stand in this House and oppose the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is my profound privilege to move a Motion on the discussion on the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President on 2nd May 2018. Before I begin, I beg the indulgence of both the Speaker and Hon. Members that we may pose for a brief moment to contemplate on the titan of Kenyan politics, the late Hon. Kenneth Matiba, who departed this world on 15th April 2018, leaving behind a legacy of public service, patriotism and sacrifice that contributed much to the liberties, democracy and prosperity that Kenyans enjoy today. His Excellency ...
