• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I have been following the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) debate. As you know, in the course of the year, it took most of my time and others, working with the Chair of the Constituencies Development Committee. When we looked deep into why Members did not get the money, we discovered that the Board, in its wisdom, used part of the money to pay for arrears. When we came to the First Supplementary Budget, the only amount that was ratified was Kshs13.7 billion for last year. However, there is Kshs4.9 billion for the previous The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: years that is in abeyance. A half of it was paid from Kshs41.7 billion which is allocated for appropriation for this year. However, that amount has not been appropriated. It is not added into the appropriation. In effect, it means that Kshs41.7 billion that was appropriated for this year includes Kshs2.9 billion. This means that the net amount is Kshs38 billion. That is not the understanding of the Members of Parliament. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I urge the Chair of the Budget and Appropriation Committee to liaise with the Chair of Constituencies Development Committee between today and the time the Appropriation Bill will be brought here. They should see whether it is possible to include the funds, because we still have some margin of about Kshs6 billion between funds for the Financial Year 2020/2021 and the net effect of this adjustment through the Second Supplementary Budget. If the amount that has been paid can be included so that it is ratified, then that will mean that it does not eat into Kshs41.7 billion. I ask ... view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I am very happy because of the child welfare and the ongoing construction of buildings that were embarrassing kids. They live in very difficult conditions. I am also aware that some of those kids, except those who are sponsored by the Child Welfare Society of Kenya, were chased out of schools because of lack of fees. The Constitution is very clear. I wish I can get an extra minute because I am the last speaker. view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you. Article 43 of the Constitution is very clear on the rights of the children. These are children of indigenes. That is why they are being taken care of by the Child Welfare Society of Kenya. They are placed in schools. The budget for the Child Welfare Society of Kenya was slashed irrationally. We now have too many kids in schools. I get all this information through my office in terms of appeals. The children who were sponsored were chased out of schools. There are pending bills in schools and suppliers of meals for the children in children’s homes. ... view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We are talking about Kshs100 million which is important. We are saving money. However, let us not punish the children in Kenya. Let us not punish orphans who rely on the State to take care of them. We embarrass them in front of all the other kids when they are kicked out of school because they have not paid. Education is the only thing that they have between them and their future. They do not have parents and supporters, except what you do for them. Let us appropriate that money on Monday or when we come to this House. Let ... view
• 23 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Let us also ratify what was paid by NG-CDF, so that we do not end up with a situation where money was paid but it was not appropriated. It will end up eating into the Kshs41.7 billion for this year. When we resume in July, we will have a fight with Members of Parliament. view
