• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have a lot of respect for the Hon. Member for Yatta. Hon. Nzambia is sitting on the armrest. It is okay to sit on armrests in bars and restaurants, but not in the National Assembly. This is the behaviour that the Hon. Member for Yatta should be educating the new Member for Kilome about. It is the same behaviour you saw the other day during the Finance Bill where Members turned this Chamber into a Mugithi dancehall, coming to sing mugithi songs instead of debating on the merits and demerits of the Finance Bill. We must ... view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me begin by stating that I am making this Statement on behalf of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There have been various concerns by Members of the House regarding legislative proposals that Members have submitted to your office and which are then referred to our Committee. We have been confronted by many Members of Parliament asking the status of these legislative proposals. Therefore, this is out of our own volition to apprise the House on the status of these many legislative proposals. I will also table after I finish the Statement, the list of all the 48 ... view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Since January 2018 when Budget and Appropriations Committee came into operation, 48 legislative proposals have been submitted to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. These proposals relate to health, finance, agriculture and ICT sectors. The Budget and Appropriations Committee, when considering these proposals, invites the sponsor of the Bill to appear before the Committee and justify the importance of the legislative proposal given the fact that it may lead to a charge to the people of Kenya. view

As required, the Committee also seeks the opinion of the National Treasury so that an approval of such legislative proposal does not negatively impact the resource framework in the medium term. It is on account of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: financial implications of some of the legislative proposals that the Committee recommends to the Speaker to deny the approval of the proposal not unless there are amendments to make it less costly. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Out of the 48 proposals committed to the Committee, 28 legislative proposals have been completed and decision communicated to the Speaker. Seven are awaiting response from the National Treasury who are required to communicate their opinion at least a minimum of 14 days. It is important to note that the Constitution and the Standing Orders do not state a timeline but we have indicated to the National Treasury that it would rather have this put at 14 days. As soon as the 14 days expire, the Committee will go ahead and advise the Speaker on its decision. One legislative proposal ... view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, I would like to draw attention to the work plan of the Budget and Appropriations Committee which is very intense compared to other committees. The Budget and Appropriations Committee contributes as much as 70 per cent of the legislative agenda of the House. In February and March 2018, the Committee was considering the Budget Policy Statement, the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill that were delivered to the House as per the timeliness without delay. view
• 25 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: In May and June 2018, we considered the Budget Estimates for the 2018/2019 Financial Year and passed the Appropriation Bill 2018. In September 2018, we were engaged in the review of the First Supplementary Budget for the 2018/2019 Financial Year. The Committee always creates time to consider Bills. The Budget takes first priority. On that note, I would like to request Hon. Members to note that we have, at least, on three occasions invited Members who have failed to appear before the Committee. We have made efforts to give them a second and third opportunity to do so. view
