• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we consider amendments that have money Bill effect in line with Article 114 of the Constitution and by the time the Budget and Appropriations Committee considered these amendments, we had agreed with Hon. Moses Kuria and communicated the same to the Speaker that they would be processed. The National Treasury as required by the Constitution to make decisions in consultations with the Budget and Appropriations Committee have given their comments and have proposed to reject on the following grounds: That, the Act provides for payment of interest on overdue amounts and liquidated damages under Section 140. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Further, on the draft Regulation 150 “(1) A contractor shall satisfactorily perform its sub-contractual obligations prior to any payment by a procuring entity. (2) A procuring entity shall make prompt and timely payments to a contractor that meets its contractual obligations. (3) Payments shall only be made after an invoice or free note is accurately raised and submitted in accordance with the provisions of the contractual agreement.” Hon. Speaker, those are the reservations that were expressed by the National Treasury. It is important that the House notes those reservations. Article 113(2) of the Constitution requires that we make that decision ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to agree with the Vice-Chair of the Public Investments Committee who, indeed, stated that as legislators we should not be curtailed by the views of the National Treasury. The provisions of code 14 are clear that it is in consultation with the National Treasury. Therefore, I took the liberty to inform the House since a decision had already been made and the Speaker made a communication on the views of the National Treasury on this issue. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: I just want to point out two things to Hon. Moses Kuria, because I clearly understand he is coming from Kiambu County where pending Bills are very huge and many of our business people are suffering. But we must be very careful as Hon. Nyikal and Hon. Makali Mulu have said. When we legislate, we will be putting it in statute that certain things must happen within a specified period of time. This is through the introduction of promissory notes as the Member for Samburu has said. It is true that, indeed, these pending bills are debts. They are what ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I join Hon. Kajwang’ in strongly opposing that particular provision. As Hon. Cecily has said, you are limiting the Attorney-General’s time in terms of being able to review very voluminous documents. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: The issue of contracts that are worth Kshs5 billion being scrutinised, as Hon. T.J says, is to offer due diligence to the process. There was reason why it is huge contracts of over Kshs5 billion. We must desist from being used as tender- preneurs. It is tender-preneurs that would want a very rushed process that has not been scrutinised by the Attorney-General to facilitate their business. I strongly oppose that particular position. view

• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to express myself on this amendment. I only sought a clarification on what I said: the devil could be in the details. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: When he explained what these reimbursable costs are, he confirmed my fears that the devil is in the details because he is speaking about variation of cost. I will speak as a former Vice-Chair of the Public Investments Committee. The genesis of all corruption in Government stems from variation of contracts, especially on pricing. That is exactly what the Member is proposing. Therefore, I strongly oppose that amendment. view
