• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in sending my condolences and those of the people of Garissa Township to Hon. Kalembe Ndile's family and constituency which is the same as that of my very good friend, Hon. (Dr.) Patrick Musimba. Hon. Speaker, I have not served with Hon. Kalembe Ndile in Parliament. I know very little about Hon. Kalembe Ndile. In my religion, we do not lie, particularly, in praising the dead. We say the way the person is. The Member for Tharaka was not a Member of Parliament in the 11th Parliament and he played a very ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. John Mbadi cannot be an authority on how Jubilee runs its affairs. I think that is not part of the handshake. There are many public resources which are used, including the one of the handshake and the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which, maybe, one day, the Auditor General will raise. So, I think if he can wait, I am only raising this concern because Hon. Kalembe Ndile, as the leader of the TIP and I, sat on that table on behalf of URP, Hon. Kiraitu Murungi, who sat on the table, Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri, who is of ... view

• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the HBC for slotting Thursday for Private Members’ business. But it is a day when many Members travel out of Nairobi. Through you as the Chair of the HBC and the leadership, there are Members, including myself, who have very critical Private Members’ Bills and are always ready. The culture I have seen is that the HBC schedules Private Members’ Bills whose sponsors are away, so that the presiding officer keeps on changing the business. I would be very happy if the HBC slots Bills after asking if the Member is available. Some Members’ Bills are ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report of the PAC for the National Government for the 2017/2018 Financial Year. I thank the Chairman, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, the Member for Ugunja, for putting the case well. However, let me go to the legal aspect of it. Article 201 of the Constitution provides for the fundamental principles that must guide the management of public finances in Kenya. What are these principles? They are both found in the Constitution and in the relevant laws. These constitutional principles are on openness, that there must be openness, there must be accountability, there ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: (NYS), the State Department for Broadcasting and Telecommunication, the State Department for Information, Communication Technology and innovation, the State Department for Public Service and Youth Affairs, of course, the State Department for Special Programmes, and the State Department for Strategic Grain Reserve. All these are among the 14 that received a disclaimer of opinion that the Auditor-General went to their offices and they made no statement about the usage of public resources. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us remind all accounting officers that according to Section 94 of the PFM Act, 2012, a disclaimer of opinion from the Auditor-General is a serious material breach of the measures needed to protect public funds and resources. Those 14 entities and their accounting officers, and the rest of the accounting officers, must be cognisant of Section 94 of the PFM Act, in terms of receiving a disclaimer of opinion. What are the consequences of an accounting officer for receiving a disclaimer opinion? As the Chairman has said, there are dire consequences. As we discuss the ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The Committee has made some recommendations. The onus is on the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury. The Committee recommended that the CS for the National Treasury as the designating authority under Section 67 of the PFM Act, 2012, is in charge of all the accounting officers in the national Government. He must take administrative action on all those officers whose entities received a disclaimer of opinion from the Auditor-General. The CS will read the budget. The PAC makes recommendations year in, year out. I want to read its recommendation. The Committee reiterates that the CS for the National Treasury, ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Let us talk about the matter of stalled and incomplete projects which is a matter of serious concern to this Committee which needs serious attention. Mitihani House has been under construction for the last 36 years. Money has been pumped there. The Government has pumped Kshs9.7 billion to that project and other stalled projects. They include some in the national Government and the Judiciary where Kshs1.5 billion has been pumped into stalled projects. view
