• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Turkana County, from the advent of devolution, it is one of the counties that have received the highest allocation of development funds. Also in this Bill, it is receiving the highest allocation of the Equalisation Fund. Before we changed the allocation formulae for the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), constituencies in Turkana County were also receiving the highest allocations, but we and the rest of Kenyans know that there is nothing significant that has happened in Turkana County to change the lives of the people of Turkana. Therefore, it is a challenge to the Members of that county and, ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Supplementary Appropriation (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.15 of 2018) be now read a Second Time. I take this opportunity to thank all the Members, through their respective committees, for the immense work they put in within a very short time for us to be able to finish these reports and prepare this Bill. Without saying much, we tabled the Report before this House last week on Thursday and Members were gracious enough to pass the Bill in a record time of less than 15 minutes. The Committee has observed that ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: This problem confirms emerging budget credibility weaknesses. Therefore, again, it should be on this House to implore the National Treasury and the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to hasten the absorption of development funds so that we can implement development projects, especially with the President’s call yesterday on this House to support his Big Four Agenda. It will be imperative that all MDAs ensure that where we allocate funds for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: development, money is absorbed within the financial year that it has been allocated. Therefore, with these concerns, and given the investigations surrounding the payment of land for compensation for Ruaraka High School and Drive-Inn Primary School, the Committee has recommended that the Supplementary Appropriation Bill for 2017/2018 be amended so as to exclude Kshs1.5 billion for land compensation for Ruaraka High School and Drive-Inn Primary School. view
• 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: 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: 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
