28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I really want to thank the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for stating the fact. All that he has said about me is the truth and nothing but the truth. I would like to begin by appreciating the relentless effort taken by the Budget and Appropriations Committee in exercising its mandate and delivering a Report on the Budget Estimates for the fiscal year 2017/2018 to this House on time. These expenditure plans are intended to carry on with the pursuit of rapid and inclusive economic growth and development through the creation of employment opportunities ...

Committee because a sum of Kshs27 billion has been allocated for construction of low volume roads. Those who have ears can hear, and those who have eyes can see that the administration of President Uhuru Kenyatta has ensured that in every part of this country, there is at least a tarmac road being constructed, irrespective of whether a region voted for him or not in the last general election. The extra Kshs27 billion will be used to increase the number of kilometres of tarmac roads that we are going to construct. A sum of Kshs59.6 billion has been set aside ...

reflects the wishes of the people. The Committee has made budgetary reallocations to strengthen cancer management, develop a kidney institute, fund key power stations, support community power projects and operationalise the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act, 2010, among other changes. That tells you that the able Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Mutava Musyimi, and the Chairs and Members of the various Departmental Committees, have looked at the Budget, taking into account the priorities of the people, and made adjustments. This Budget has also been prepared amidst uncertainty arising from the coming general elections, and a slowdown in global ...

28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
When you are advised by someone with a D – (Minus), then the kind of statements you make from Mombasa informs us about who is around you. I must thank the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Transport and Infrastructure. In one sentence they said, “We have not signed a contract.” It is very shameful! Leaders must have intelligent people around them. They should have people you can trace their schooling to, say, the Harvard School of Law. You are better off with surgeons like Hon. (Dr.) Pukose, around you. I was shocked when I was in Malindi. Any concessional loan that ...

school or not because one has classmates and there is also the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). So, it is not for a judge to decide whether you went to school or not. So, we have not taken any concessionary loan from the UAE. Baba, we want to tell you that! Hon. Speaker, it is important for leaders of this country to carry out responsible campaigns, otherwise there will be no country to govern when we win the elections. It is therefore important that the campaigns focus on policies and issues that are geared towards improving the lives of the ...

No! Just relax! You know your competitor, the daughter of the Prime Minister is in hospital, and that is why you are happy. Just relax my friend. We are waiting for your competitor to recover. Hon. Speaker, it is important to underscore that the 2017/2018 Budget Report tabled by the Budget and Appropriations Committee is the last one by this august House. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for its pivotal role in the public finance management area.

28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Oburu is here. I am one of the best friends of the Odingas. Hon. Kaluma cannot purport to speak for that family. I am close and I wish her quick recovery. I only said that when Rosemary Odinga recovers, my friend Hon. Okoth will be in problems. We are praying for her every day to recover so that she deals with him properly in Kibra Constituency. Finally, I thank the members of staff in the Budget Office under the leadership of Mrs. Makau and the Budget and Appropriations Committee. If there are experts and persons ...

28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
I want to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a very good Budget. The ceiling of the Cabinet Secretary has been controlled. Finally, I also want to thank the leadership and staff of Kenya Revenue Authority, led by Commissioner-General John Njiraini. They are the people who have given us freedom and collect taxes on behalf of the people of Kenya. The men and women who work in the National Treasury also need to be thanked for the good job they have done and, of course, the National Assembly for making sure that this country in an election year receives ...
