• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The twelfth general observation is on irregular allocation of museum land to private developers. The National Museums of Kenya is one of the State corporations among the 64 that I have mentioned that we have looked at. The Committee observed with a lot of concern the rampant grabbing and irregular allocation of public land to private individuals particularly the National Museums of Kenya which has lost a lot of land including gazzeted national heritage sites such as the Fort Jesus and the Hyrax Hill prehistoric site. The Committee had a statement of the financial position of the National Museums of ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: However, emerging evidence indicates that several parcels of the National Museums of Kenya land of undetermined value have been encroached and allocated to the third parties. One of them is the proposed Eldoret Museum. The proposed museum was allotted a parcel of land vide PDP No.Eldoret 17/91/91 on 1st August, 1991 and a letter of allotment issued on September, 1995. However, information available indicates that the land was allocated to an undisclosed third party in 1995 and subsequently subdivided into 12 plots. The management of the National Museums of Kenya raised the issue with the Commissioner of Lands way back ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee, therefore, recommended that the Accounting Officer should take the audit process more seriously and honour parliamentary invitations to enable our Committee and Public Accounts Committee (PAC), for issues to do with ministries, to gather information that will effectively facilitate its mandate. We have also recommended that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) should consider the proposal to second its officers to parliamentary committees during special inquiries and examination of accounts to facilitate quick action especially in cases of fraud. This will also assist these offices to produce factual reports that will ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you remember the Report that we adopted here on the National Youth Enterprise Fund, you will realise that investigation officers from the DCI’s Office and the EACC had been on this case. The file was marked “under investigations” for almost a year. It took our Committee less than four months to investigate, delve into the matter of the loss of about Kshs180 million from the Youth Enterprise Fund. We concluded the investigation and tabled a Report in this House. It took about three months for the Report to be debated and adopted by this House. ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The appointing authorities of the respective CEOs and boards of State corporations should fast-track the appointment processes to enable the corporations to run effectively. This should be in adherence to the Mwongozo Code of governance for State corporations. That touches on the appointment of boards and their chairmen. Our general recommendation is that the National Treasury should regularly publish and submit to Parliament an annual National Treasury memorandum on the status of the implementation of the recommendations from both the PIC and the PAC Reports and other relevant parliamentary committees showing the progress made. It should also ensure compliance by ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: this is not in vain. The Youth Enterprise Development Fund was a classic example where we had representatives from the National Treasury, representatives of the Principal Secretary (PS) for Devolution in the Board of the YEDF. All the evils that were being perpetuated by the board and the management of that Fund were in full glare of these State officers. That is why we are saying that when you sit as a State officer in a board of a State corporation, you are there to oversee its operations on behalf of your CS and PS. That is why we are ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While I completely agree with the Leader of the Majority Party, I was just consulting with Hon. Tonui. I wish there was a proviso to specify that the proposed exemption is just for public schools because as the Leader of the Majority Party said, that provision is likely to be abused by private schools, who charge our children exorbitant school fees. They can afford these buses even if their costs were to increase by 20 per cent. Therefore, without that kind of proviso to specify that the exemption is for buses being bought directly ... view
