• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me first bring to the attention of the House that the Auditor-General, under the Public Audit Act, has no mandate to audit private entities. Let us start from there. I agree with the amendment in 2A. Where public funds are involved, the Auditor- General should come in. Where a single cent of public resources has not been put in, the Auditor-General, under his own Act, will not get involved. The Committee did very well. If the Hon. Member for Kikuyu were to listen to me, the issue he is raising is a situation where somebody ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, you know we have to be very careful. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Tell the aspirant for Kakamega gubernatorial seat to listen to me. We know our governors; we have lived with them. I want the Chair to have the last chance to speak to this. Unless the National Treasury or the public private partnership committee will have an overriding power in the approval, it is very dangerous to give governors and county governments a free cheque to look for anybody. It must be anchored in law because these are people who cannot pay the pending bills of our people. Tomorrow, they themselves will own the projects. A good example is the governor ... view

• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have said it well. I told Hon. Sankok to allow Members to have free thoughts. So, Hon. (Ms.) Nyamai was right. When she was the Chair and I was the Leader of the Majority Party, we tried to bring Government together, namely, the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Principal Secretary Mochache and PS, (Prof.) Boga. We tried to ask the Government to bring their amendments to this Bill. Even the Departmental Committee on Health, without imputing any improper motives, their interest within that Committee... That Bill is so voluminous. A lot has gone into it in ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: It is good that you are also going back to our old days where once in a week, Chairs give status reports of the Bills before them. You have seen what Mzalendo is writing. Maybe he is writing that because Private Members’ Bills are not being given priority. So, it is good that Private Members’ Bills come to the Floor. That is the time Members contribute on Wednesday mornings from 10.00 a.m. So, from this week, when we start Private Members’ Bills, we will see more Members speak on the Floor of the House. view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I stand to support the Supplementary Appropriation (No.2) Bill. Let me go on record. Hon. Amos Kimunya was once the Minister for Finance in the 10th Parliament. Hon. Mbadi will agree with me that there is no Minister for Finance that brought a Supplementary Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly two days to the end of the financial year. It has never happened. It is illegal. Read the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. Why is it illegal? It beats and undermines the credibility of the budget process. It leads to low absorption. If you give money today, how ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: to close to 10 million Kenyans. We want to see that money buying vaccines and 10 million Kenyans getting the jab. We do not want monkey business. The World Bank has today given us Kshs14 billion to buy vaccines. In the 2021/2022 Budget, we have allocated Kshs14 billion towards vaccines. That is equal to Kshs28 billion. When you add the Kshs7 billion in the Supplementary Appropriations Bills, it comes to Kshs35 billion allocated towards the purchase of vaccines. That will ensure that close to 70 per cent of Kenyans are vaccinated. We are going for elections. We want Kenyans to ... view
• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: July. However, I feel that he can do better. It is good to receive the second Supplementary Estimates in April. The current President, Hon. Kimunya, Mr. Rotich and Mr. Mwiraria were CSs for the National Treasury. You can read this in their website. Let us not allow Supplementary Estimates to be passed on the last day of the end of the current financial year. view
