• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, the BPS is from the National Treasury to the House and we review it as a House through our departmental committees that submit their reports to us. I want to confirm that the amendment I am speaking to is a Committee amendment. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Sorry! Hon. Speaker, the revision… view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is what I was explaining to the Members. The proposal to increase the ceilings came from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you may protect me from shouting by Member 001. I know these things might be difficult for him to understand, but if he listens, he might understand like Hon. Olago Oluoch and Hon. Otiende Amollo understand. Two, the review is also coming from the Committee based on the provisions of Section 39 of the PFM Act. We are not able at the moment to raise money from elsewhere. As I indicated, it was envisaged that after engagement with the National Treasury, they would institute further cuts from the Executive arm to cater for additional development expenditure in ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Definitely the Leader of the Minority Party is aware, because he was actively involved in the deliberations. However, the amendment, as I indicated, is signed by myself as the Chair and approved by the Speaker and is, therefore, properly before the House. However, the decisions on how to deal with the amendment is up to the House to listen to what I was saying, the rationale behind it and make an appropriate decision. All I can do as the Member of Parliament for Kikuyu and the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is to move the amendment and leave ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think that point of order had no relation to the issues here since we have been talking about other Committees, their Chairs and what is happening there, which I cannot speak for. The decision is up to the Members to make. However, it is also prudent that we plan with the available resources. We must appreciate that as I move this Motion, we are living under very difficult circumstances this financial year. Indicatively, even in the next Financial Year 2020/2021, which starts in July this year, we are only four months away from the beginning ... view
• 4 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not want to interrupt the Chair. I know this is not procedural because I should have done this at the beginning, considering the time, but I want to ask those who are contributing to consider doing so for about five minutes, without the Speaker having to direct. This is to allow more Members to contribute. Looking at the time, we may only have two other Members. view

• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Let me appreciate the presence of pupils from Kikuyu Township Primary School, which I attended. The Class Eight pupils are seated in the Speaker’s Gallery. I was a Class Eight pupil in Kikuyu Township Primary School exactly 30 years ago. I welcome them to the National Assembly. I encourage them to work hard in their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) this year. Maybe in another 15 to 20 years, they will stand here as Members of Parliament and respectable citizens of this country. Hon. Speaker, I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 232(7) relating to presentation of the Budget Policy Statement and the Debt Management Strategy, this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the Budget Policy Statement, 2020 by a period of seven (7) days from 27th February 2020. As I mentioned in the Statement that I read yesterday, the House is aware that we have been listening to departmental committees. We concluded that process today, having listened to the last Committee at 2.00 p.m., namely, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National ... view
