• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The county assemblies are getting away with big crimes. They are doing very poorly in the management of debts. The colleague who spoke earlier mentioned this. We have businessmen who in the past were doing good businesses. Today, they are walking on the streets as poor men and women. There are contractors who have done some work and are holding documents which were given to them by Garissa County to the tune of Kshs2 billion or more. Recently, the returns that the Garissa County Government made to the Controller of Budget show that their debt level is zero. This means ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Failure to adhere to the procurement laws is becoming obvious in all the county governments. We must use this to ensure that we give teeth or powers to the Senate Committee in charge of Finance, which oversees expenditure of county governments, so that they can scrutinise such expenditures in detail and take action. Unfortunately, time and again, governors have declined to honour summonses by the Senate. A governor simply does not turn up and nothing happens. If he turns up, he is asked tough questions, accompanied by drama on television, but nothing happens. We must put in place laws that ... view
• 26 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I end by saying that Article 226(5) of the Constitution must be adhered to, to the letter. It requires public officers to be held responsible for misuse or for directing misuse of public funds under their control. I can see that my time is up. This is a good Bill. I support it, but we require bringing a number of amendments to it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view

• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, since you have allowed me to make some comments on this special Paper which I have just tabled, Sections 4 to 6 of the CBK Act requires the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury to give notice of the price stability target in consultation with the CBK and highlight economic policies to be undertaken by the Government every 12 months. The Act also requires the Cabinet Secretary to lay a copy of the notice before the House. In this Paper, the Cabinet Sectary has highlighted two key issues. The first one is the price stability target for the Financial ... view

Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(a), on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC), I rise to give Statement regarding the business appearing before the House the week beginning Tuesday, July 26, 2016. Hon. Speaker, HBC met on Tuesday this week at the rise of the House, to prioritize the business for consideration. On Tuesday, next week, we will consider, in Committee of the whole House, the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Bill, 2015 and the Controller of Budget Bill, 2015. I, therefore, wish to urge all Members with proposed amendments to these Bills to present them ... view

I am aware that the Committee is busy, but I implore the chairperson to fast-track the consideration of those Bills and submit the amendments to enable the House conclude these Bills. Hon. Speaker, on Questions the following Cabinet Secretaries are scheduled ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Yes. On the first issue, I think he is very genuine. However, I wish the Member for Rarieda could have put that in a question form and put it to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Transport and Infrastructure. However, still because the CS is appearing before PAC on Tuesday, I can still put it to the CS that he appears before the PAC, if he gives me that in writing this coming Tuesday. On the PAC Reports, I will undertake that the HBC next week will give it priority. We do not have a backlog on the audited accounts. On ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we discussed this in the House Business Committee in your absence, while you were away since last week Wednesday because the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC) was under fire from quarters within Parliament. We said the matter of IEBC was brought back from the street to the confines of both Houses of Parliament and a Select Committee was formed. view
