• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Supplementary Appropriation Bill (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 23 of 2018), be now read a Second Time. The Supplementary Estimates for 2018/2019 have been prepared at a time when Government is experiencing significant fiscal pressures on account of huge budget deficits, expenditures and projected revenue shortfall. The approved Estimates for the Financial Year 2018/2019 were estimated at Kshs1.698 trillion for national Government, Kshs372.74 billion for county governments and Kshs962.56 billion for the Consolidated Fund Services. This was to be financed through domestic tax amounting to Kshs1.923 trillion, and grants amounting to ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: time when every person is complaining of a huge debt burden. Therefore, it is good and only right that we allow each other an opportunity to be heard and listened to and make our case and vote as we did this afternoon. I wish we had that opportunity during the Finance Bill debate for those who wanted to negate the Memorandum from the President. On account of the expected revenue shortfalls amidst expenditure pressures, the Supplementary Budget proposes a reduction in the total budget estimates of Kshs55.1 billion of which Kshs11.724 billion is from the Recurrent Expenditure and Kshs34.27 billion ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in the process of considering the Supplementary Appropriation Bill No. 2 of 2018, the National Treasury submitted further changes that have taken into account the revised Executive Order of June 2018 which resulted in reorganisation of Government functions.

• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my point is about relevance. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You know Hon. Ndindi Nyoro, besides being a very good legislator from Kiharu, he is still new in the House. Maybe he has not learnt issues to do with relevance and the debate is on the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. What took me off is him referring to my county of Kiambu as a consumer of water from Murang’a. I can state categorically that, indeed, Ruiru II Dam that is in Kiambu County is supplying water to Nairobi. The entire Muthaiga, parts of Westlands and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Lower Kabete are consuming water from Kikuyu Springs in Kikuyu Constituency in Kiambu County. Therefore, we do not get even a single drop of water from Murang’a, where politics of water is the order of the day. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank all the nine or so Members who have contributed. Those were important contributions. There was a very serious contribution by the Member for Kwanza, Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi, and various other Members who have contributed, including the support and contribution of Hon. Kathuri Murungi. Pertinent issues have been raised. I will pay particular attention to what was said by Hon. Manje on the possibility that we will be borrowing for Recurrent Expenditure to pay salaries and wages. I want to confirm to the House that indeed, the Government is ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, I challenge the House or as Members of Parliament that even as we consider budget estimates it is not the Budget and Appropriations Committee that has the opportunity to scrutinise vote by vote of various ministries. Those of us who sit in departmental committees must take responsibility and role in the scrutiny of estimates more seriously than we do. Let us take to task the Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries who appear before us. Let them take us through line by line items of the votes in their ministries. It is that opportunity that we are given as Members ... view
