Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Appropriation (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.15 of 2018) from seven to three days. I wish to call upon the Leader of the Majority Party to second the Procedural Motion. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 16 of 2018) from 7 days to 1 day. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: In light of the fact that this came today and with the late submission of the Estimates for the Equalisation Fund, it will only be fair to do justice to those Members, constituencies and counties that benefit from this Fund. It is a revote of the same Appropriations Bill that we did in the last financial year but it lapsed. It is important to appropriate this money so that they can complete the many projects that were listed in our reports that are still unfinished because of lack of funds. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I ask Hon. Wario from Moyale Constituency, a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to second. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure from the Equalisation Fund for the Financial Year 2017/18, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 3rd May 2018, and pursuant to provisions of Article 204 of the Constitution and Standing Order 235(5), approves the withdrawal of Kshs.11, 977, 764, 688 from the Equalisation Fund that consists of: (i) Kshs. 428,162,930.40 for Recurrent Expenditure; and (ii) Kshs. 11,549,601,757.60 for Development Expenditure. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as per the Report tabled before this House and, as I mentioned in the Procedural Motion, this is simply a revote of the same Appropriations Bill that we did in the last financial year but lapsed. If Hon. Members read the Committee’s recommendations, they would have seen that we are recommending that in future, to avoid further delays in implementation of the Equalisation Fund, the National Treasury should submit the Equalisation Fund Estimates together with the Annual Estimates beginning with the 2018/2019 Financial Estimates. The Financial Estimates for the ensuing Financial Year were tabled by the Leader ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: It is also imperative that this House insists that the National Treasury tables these Estimates together so that as we consider the Annual Estimates, we also consider the Equalisation Fund Estimates to avoid a situation like the one we are in now where we have to revote because in the last financial year, we were only able to appropriate this money too close to the end of the financial year. Therefore, the agencies that were implementing these projects were not able to do so and absorb this money before the end of the financial year. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: The other recommendation is that the second generation marginalisation policy being developed by the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) should and must be tabled in this House. There is a tendency by some of these constitutional commissions to ignore, and hold with a lot of contempt, this House. As representatives of our people, we have a stake in many of these policies. We must insist, as recommended by the Committee, that this policy be tabled and adopted by this House so that if there are regions that warrant qualification under Equalisation Fund and are currently not benefiting, they can benefit. ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Of course, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Areas like Kiptororo where people are suffering and have been marginalised over the years. Therefore, we need to have Members of this House to interrogate that marginalisation policy so that we ensure that those areas that are not covered are also covered, not just the counties as was there in the first marginalisation policy. Thirdly, the Committee recommends the amendment of the Public Finance Management Act to provide the necessary safeguard of the resources in the Fund. Specifically, the Committee will move to make amendments geared towards making sure that the resources appropriated do not ... view
