• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Then at the Second Reading we will also be looking at the continuation of debate on the Irrigation (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 12 of 2021), the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2021) and the National Cohesion and Peace Building Bill (Senate Bill No.35 of 2018). view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order No.42A (5) and (6), I wish to convey that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning is scheduled to appear before the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on Thursday, 19th August 2021 to respond to two Questions: Question No.214/2021 by Hon. Ronald Tonui regarding the recent changes to the Civil Servants Pension Scheme, who are entitled and how the benefits are calculated; and, Question No.255/2021 by Hon. David Ochieng’ on the number of privatisations that have been conducted since the establishment of the Privatisation Commission and ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: The HBC will reconvene on Tuesday, 17th August 2021 to schedule the business for the rest of the week. I now lay this Statement on the Table of the House. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Auditor-Generals’ Report of PAC which has very well been executed by the Chair and my predecessor in seconding. He has explained everything that needed to be explained. I would almost take the opportunity to congratulate the Auditors M/s. Ronald LLP for having made it. I have no doubt the House will do what it has to in terms of formalising the appointment because all the screening has been done and there is nothing untoward that has been brought forward. There is really not much to be said because we are playing ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: in the course of the year and report the same to the shareholders to assure them that their money has been applied in furtherance to the objectives of the company. That all stems from the old practice of Agency Theory where the shareholders will have certain expectations of what they want to do. They then appoint their agents who become the directors and who then hire managers. The two are usually at variance in terms of their expectations. The shareholders may want one thing done, the directors one and the managers another. You now need the auditor to come, look ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: especially at the county level. We give more money out there with the hope that it will stimulate economies at that micro-level and ensure that suppliers are paid on time. So, if money is flowing and people are not being paid, we need to be told why that is happening, so that we can, at least, arrest poverty at the grassroots level. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I just really wanted to emphasise that. I do not want to belabour the point. This is the third independent auditor. Initially, there was Baker Tilly Merali’s and then we had PKF. This is the third auditor that we are approving for different periods. Hence, there is now enough experience in terms of what the other two have provided. view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I expect that this will come from the Chairman. I know that we are appointing this auditor for the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 financial years, yet as of now, the Auditor-General is looking at the 2019/2020 Financial Year for the Government. However, the Auditor-General should be one step ahead. They should have had their issues properly sorted and we should not be talking of the 2018/2019 Financial Year because that should have been audited. It is something that we need to look at, so that even as we appoint the next auditor, we will be looking at appointing somebody for the ... view
• 11 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: I would like to encourage the Chairman of PAC to look into this matter. At what point do we appoint the auditor for the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 financial years? We should do it now, rather than appointing them after the years have passed. You appoint an auditor for the ensuing year not for the year that has just passed. Right now, we should be receiving the reports for last year. We should be discussing what M/s Ronalds LLP has told us. That is a minor point. I am sure there was a reason why there was that oversight, but now ... view
