• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. At the outset, I want to say that I support the Report. I am a Member of the PAC Committee. Before I contribute, allow me to say that it is with great honour that I join you in recognising Miss Kulea and the team of the young girls from Samburu, Isiolo, Laikipia, Marsabit, Kuria, among other places, who have joined us today. It is a great honour. Those are girls who have inspired many other young girls to ensure that they ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: This Report has revealed serious fraud and inefficiencies within the Government expenditure system. The national Government is usually responsible for 85 per cent of the shared revenue. It is only 15 per cent of the revenue which goes to the counties. We make a lot of noise in the media about how county governments are misusing the funds that have been devolved. It is disheartening to see that all those complaints and noise are only about the 15 per cent or 23 per cent of the total national revenue. About 85 per cent of the national revenue is expended by ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: national Government. This Report reveals serious misuse of money. The recommendations of this Report must be taken with a lot of seriousness by the appropriate authorities. We have made recommendations to Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in many occasions, to ensure that culpabilities which have been clearly identified are dealt with immediately. Failure to do that, corruption will never leave Kenya. We will always suffer from the cancer called “corruption”. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I want to cite a few examples as I contribute to this Report. The Ministry of Planning and Devolution is the most affected with corruption. It is a great shame that an Accounting Officer who was allocated over Kshs100 billion could only account for about Kshs8 billion. The remainder of the funds allocated to that ministry remains unaccounted for. Some of the perpetrators of such vices are walking freely out there. That is why, sometimes, we feel that there is no seriousness in fighting corruption in this country. Those people should be behind bars. The Accounting Officers in the Ministry ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The unwarranted attack on the office of the Auditor-General was another disheartening thing to see in this Report. We have seen ministries publish on all the newspapers, a cost to the taxpayer for taking pages of the advertisement, to say how they want to hit at the Auditor- General for not presenting factual information. However, when the same Accounting Officers came before the Committee, we, indeed, proved what the Auditor-General was saying was right. Those Accounting Officers lied to Kenyans. They were trying to conceal corruption in their ministries. We strongly recommend that they are not only surcharged to pay ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The internal audits in the different ministries have become almost useless. There is corruption, but every ministry has a department of internal audit. What is the work of the internal auditors? We asked some of them what exactly their work is, if they cannot stop over-payment of invoices. We have seen invoices whose amounts were changed by a hand. We have seen ridiculous things happening or being presented before the Committee, but the internal auditors have absolutely no clue. For prudent management of financial resources, we need a critical relook at those internal auditors. Some of them do not even ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the free primary education is one other leakage out of our system which is unfortunate. It is a paradox that our schools are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: almost collapsing because of lack of resources and yet, billions of shillings are stolen each year. We strongly recommend that a lifestyle audit be done on senior directors in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, who have been the conduit of stealing funds in the name of free primary education. This is evil and unacceptable. Those fellows should be charged against that corruption. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Government asset register which was presented before the Committee showed that there is total failure in accounting for the assets of the national Government. Each Ministry should have an asset register, but they do not have them. There is an asset register in any organisation. This seat must have a tag in this House. The property owned by Parliament must be known. The Government ministries should have asset registers which has vehicles and all other high valuable properties. Unfortunately, in almost all the Government ministries, none of them has satisfactorily produced a genuine asset register. This has led to ... view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I do not want to spend a lot of time on the Eurobond issue. I look forward as a member of this Committee to see the special audit on Eurobond which is being done by the Auditor-General. There was serious anomaly in it according to my knowledge of this area. I will leave that for the time when we will be debating the special report. view
