• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Technically, Article 223 of the Constitution says that whatever that has been spent must be ratified or regularised within two months. On some of the items, we could even wait and regularise them next month. But we would also want to ensure we close our financial year without carrying forward issues of this financial year to the next one, just for neatness of housekeeping. Just in case there is an item that needs to be paid today rather than wait to regularise it later, it would be good for us to close the books. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I urge that we approve the Motion so that we give the Committee the opportunity to present the Report to us and then the House will make a decision on the Supplementary Appropriation Bill and hopefully, in the usual way we have been processing things, we will have this Bill ready for assent, perhaps, later in the day and Kenyans get the benefits of utilisation of the money. We need all money to be injected into the economy at this point. It will stimulate the economy with the downturn we have seen as a result of COVID-19. The electronic version ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: We also need to ensure that we do not have a shortage of testing kits and quarantine facilities. Part of the money that is being requested for is to facilitate those two very key interventions that are required. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I do not need to belabour my point. It is important we do it and it is within our mandate as a House. We have done it before and we will continue doing it in the future whenever business is urgent. view

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I decided to rise early to clarify that Members know we had a Supplementary Bill that I tabled on Tuesday. The Committee looked at it but, some items had not been agreed upon at the point of writing the Report because they did not have the information. The information then subsequently came and the amendments that are being proposed are basically to bridge and bring back to the Bill what was tabled. So, what is on the Schedule is what we tabled. What is in the Bill is what the Committee had proposed, but ... view
