• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Further, the Committee recommends that no future allocation shall be made towards this land until completion of the investigations being conducted by the relevant committees of this House, and by any other investigative agencies. We shall be bringing that amendment during the Third Reading this afternoon, hopefully, if Members agree with the Committee this morning. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I want to reiterate the words of His Excellency the President yesterday: That we must get to a situation in this country where issues pertaining corruption or misappropriation of public funds are dealt with decisively. Therefore, without naming anybody, it was the feeling of my Committee that since the matter of Ruaraka High School and Drive-Inn Primary School is under investigation, not just by a committee of this House but also by a committee of the other House, we allow those committees to conclude their work before we approve the payment notwithstanding the concerns we have noted on the application ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: It is also instructive that this House must not only act in unison, but to borrow President Uhuru’s words, in unanimity. The right hand of this House, being the Budget and Appropriations Committee, must know what the left hand is doing. Therefore, because we must work in unison, it is only befitting that we accord the other committees investigating this matter the respect they deserve by according them an opportunity to interrogate all these payments. We do that in the spirit of what His Excellency the President said before this House during his State of the Nation Address that even ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party, who I will respectfully say is a major beneficiary of these funds in Garissa County, has said that I am using my position as the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to go for funds that do not belong to me. I pointed it out to the House that it is a fact that there are areas in this country that deserve these funds. I gave the example of Kiptororo, Makueni, Kitui and the boundary of Kikuyu and Kajiado. There is the accusation that we have produced two presidents. Unless ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Atandi has just walked in. Since he is my very good friend… view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I have no leeway to donate a minute or two to him? view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wanted to seek your indulgence to donate two minutes to him but with your guidance, I will just reply. I take this opportunity to thank the Members who have contributed very well to this Motion, particularly in view of the proposed amendment that will come this afternoon. I reiterate what I had said earlier and what many of the speakers, including the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Makali Mulu, Hon. Moses Lessonet, who is the Vice Chair, and all the other Members who have contributed to this Bill ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: It is also important to mention because the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Mbadi did mention, the question of CT scanners when we were having a handshake with my good friend and doctor here. We were just discussing the same issues. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I said my handshake with Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal and I was just consulting on the question of the CT scanners and the health equipment programme that this Government started. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you remember it started from motor vehicles. In the last Parliament, we started leasing motor vehicles instead of buying them. Again, we have been leasing medical equipment. I was saying that to answer the Leader of the Minority Party because he is a member of the Committee, and he is aware. Those who read our Report on the Budget Policy Statement earlier this year must have noted ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to take a lot of time. I would just like to thank the Members who have contributed to that Report. As Hon. Pukose has rightly stated, we still have the next Order after the First Reading of this Bill. So, Members still have an opportunity to contribute on that. I would also like to remind those who have benefitted from this Fund that we still have the Third Reading to get to. I ask the Members to be a little bit more patient. I will not take a lot of ... view
