• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and his Members for living within the timeline period given to them by the House. The BPS 2018 is the first policy document under the duly and democratically elected Jubilee Government. The BPS is prepared pursuant to Section 25 of the Public Finance Management Act. The BPS is one of the budget documents which this House approves every year and is going to do so in the next five years as part of its oversight role on public finance management. If ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: At the same time, revamping the manufacturing sector will increase both the formal and informal manufacturing jobs to about 400,000 under the pillar of supporting value addition and raising the manufacturing sector share of the GDP to 15 per cent. For us to achieve revival of the manufacturing sector, we have to do it through various policy initiatives which are also found in this BPS. They include the textile industry, leather industry and agro-processing industry among other key sectors where various tangible deliverables have been highlighted. This BPS gives a lot in terms of the highlights, the sectors, what is ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: What is the role of devolution both for this Government and in the BPS? Let me underscore to this House the Jubilee Government’s commitment to support the devolved system of government. We are confident that the Kenyan people have given us an opportunity to provide resources to the devolved system of government. This Government, under the leadership of Uhuru Kenyatta, has shown that continuously by increasing the allocation to countries from Kshs210 billion in the Financial Year 2013/2014 to Kshs323.8 billion in the Financial Year 2017/2018. This represents 54.2 per cent in budgetary allocation to counties. We have even surpassed ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Let me go to the debt management strategy – the current debate in the country – which, in my opinion, has been blown out of proportion. The country’s public debt remains sustainable. The debt level is well within the sustainable levels and also within the 50 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) limit. We are telling our colleagues not to just say the debt level is souring. Look at the figures and the analysis; we are still within limit of the 50 per cent of GDP. Today in Japan the debt level is at 200 per cent to ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Singapore, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) it is between 78 to 90 per cent of their GDP. We are still below 50 per cent of the GDP. This is in line with the Public Finance Management Act requirements and is also in line with the East African Community Monetary Union Convergence Criteria on debt levels. The overall results from the debt sustainability analysis indicate that the country’s public debt is sustainable and it is expected to remain sustainable even in the medium-term. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Whereas the country’s debt level is sustainable, the Jubilee Government has found it fit to continue implementing prudent debt management practices and policies. The question that this House that has the oversight role must ask itself is: “Are we using the resources we are borrowing for the right course?” That is the question. If we borrow to build the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), are we seeing the SGR? If we borrow to build and expand the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) terminals, are we seeing them? It is the business of this House. It is not the business of economists ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: budget of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), the resources of both Houses must be shared on a pro-rata basis. There is no way you can have 349 members being given the same amount as 67 members. It has never happened anywhere in the world. So, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, whether our friends like it or not, we will go per capita as Hon. Junet is saying. More resources must be put for the committees of this House. You have allocated Kshs1 billion to the PSC for development. We expect that money to go towards the completion of this building where we ... view
