Our Chairman did not spend all his time. I am sure this is a very important Report. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me rush and go to the last bit of my notes.

8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly:
Article 229(4) of the Constitution provides the timelines for processing audit. The various accounting officers in State departments do not comply with the process of audit as provided for in the law and in the Public Audit Act. Accounting officers receive management letters from the Auditor-General. However, none of them follows those procedures. We have recommended that the CS, as the designating authority, must reprimand his officers for violating Article 229(4) of the Constitution, Section 68(2)(k) of the PFM Act and Regulation No.97(2) as read together with Section 3 of the PFM national Government Regulations. The electronic version of the ...

8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly:
I want to say something in one word. Article 226 of the Constitution is very emphatic and clear. I will finish by quoting that Article in protection of our public funds. Article 226(5) of the Constitution states that if the holder of a public office, including a political office, directs or approves the use of public funds contrary to law or instructions, the person is liable for any loss arising from that use and shall make good the loss, whether the person remains the holder of office or not. Accounting officers, including our Clerk, Chief Registrar of the Judiciary and ...

19 May 2021 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee on the Vetting of the Nominee for the position of Chief Justice. The nominee in question is one who is known for her vast experience in the legal profession, brilliance and acumen in her career as a judicial officer. She now goes to the books of history of this country as having been the first female Chief Justice. When it comes to professionalism, capacity, ability and experience as required by the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act 2011, there is no one who can object that the ...

13 May 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I want you to guide the House. We are turning the plenary into discussing what the Committee on Powers and Privileges should hear under your chairmanship. The whole country is watching us. We cannot conduct the business of a committee of this House, which you chair, in the plenary. The route Hon. Nyoro is taking, saying he is going to name people, means we are moving from one murky issue to another. I have been here and I am sure Hon. Mbadi and Hon. Kimunya will agree with me. In the 10th Parliament when we were sitting where ...

families and constituencies. The route we are going, and let me say it as a ranking Member… I indulge you, Hon. Speaker, that this matter be referred to the Powers and Privilege Committee so that it can be investigated. You can refer it to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission or Powers and Privileges Committee, but I am not comfortable now. When it comes to naming of a Member, and many have been named before, I never thought it would go to a debate. On a light touch, and with a lot of respect to Hon. Moses ...

13 May 2021 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I just want to remind Members that in line with the Standing Orders, I think they need to consult the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) who was a victim of this and even worse until the Committee of Powers and Privilege rescinded and forgave him. The Standing Orders are very clear and it is good our friend Hon. Ndindi got four days. You can ask Hon. Wandayi because he went for more days and missed many privileges, even the freedom of thought and speech which you enjoy within the precincts of ...

I agree you have saved the situation and I think the Standing Orders No.108… I really wanted Hon. Ndindi to be forgiven but it looks like he does not want to be forgiven.
