• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Without wasting time, I think the Chair has been clear on the objectives of the audit. I also add that we wanted to review the procurement process in line with the provisions of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 and the attendant Regulations 2006. We also wanted to identify, if any, whether there was misrepresentation on documents used in the tendering and procurement process by any of the bidding companies. We also wanted to review due diligence and internal audit reports by KEBS to assess the level of performance and current bidders. We also wanted to understand whether ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Going straight to the findings of the Committee, it recommended that the managing director be held responsible for: (a) Failure to have the procurement plan approved by the National Standard Council before invitation of tenders contrary to Section 69(2) of the Procurement and Asset Disposal Act of 2015 and Regulation 20(5). (b) Procuring without any indicative or approved budget contrary to Section 53(5) of the Procurement and Asset Disposal Act.

• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have seconded the Report in an amended form and I was cognisant of all the amendments we have made. Probably the Member was not following closely. That said, the Committee also recommended that future international tenders be widely advertised in leading international media houses to enable fair competition and service provided. Finally, the Public Procurement and Regulatory Authority should expeditiously investigate the entire tendering process. view

• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I also rise to support this Bill which is timely. The principal object of the Bill is to regulate public collections which is quite timely. In the light of what is happening in the country, there is need to regulate fundraisings or public collections. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: It is good because he will wait for the next Order because he is a Member of that Committee. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: This Bill is very important because we witnessed loss of two lives recently in Murang’a County. I believe people have planned for fundraising during all Sundays in places of worship which are supposed to be for prayers, devotion, bringing people together and building peace. We saw what happened in church recently. The religion I belong to does not do a lot of politics in Mosques which lead to loss of lives. This Bill is timely. There is need for people to disclose the collections they make. We really need to understand what the collection is meant for. Is it spent ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, maybe the Member subscribes to the Tanga Tanga squad who are good in… But that is on a light note. There is need to have closer coordination, collaboration and networking between the county security teams and whoever is conducting the fundraiser. Of course, the licence should not be meant to hinder conducting of the exercise, but it is important that there is that close coordination, collaboration and networking to ensure that we do not have insecurity issues reported during the fundraisings. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The aspect of giving 21 days’ notice could be a long period of time. There is need to reduce that period. That notwithstanding, it is also important that we do not discriminate against Members of Parliament and MCAs. If it is all elective offices to avoid fundraising, then so be it. But if certain elective groups will be participating in fundraising, then everybody should participate. What about the aspirants? Should they be participating in fundraising? Indeed, we have the obligation to attend to issues affecting our constituents. I think that should also be amended. view
