• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is an important amendment. I want to support it with reservations. It is clear that when we approach a general election, we need to guard against abuse and initiation of projects for purposes of securing funds. At the same time, elections should not stop development activities in our country. It is important, if there are important projects that have been planned, not to be denied the opportunity to be implemented. That is why it should be clearly provided for the National Treasury to approve projects and measures to be put in place to ensure that ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Like in the case of the NG-CDF, we have the Fund Account Managers, who are officers appointed by the Government and seconded to the constituencies. We do not appoint them. In other Government departments, we have people responsible for projects. The proposal is important, but we must also not stop the development cycle of the country because of elections. I support the amendment, but development must go on even as we approach elections. The Government development cycle must go on. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not want to oppose like the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I believe the interruption by the Leader of the Majority Party this time was positive because he sought a very important clarification. I agree with the amendment on that explanation because it seeks to remove any apparent contradiction with the provision in relation to the mandate of the National Assembly, which is to approve Vote on Account. Therefore, it is important for us to support this proposed amendment, so that we can protect the mandate and power which Parliament has been given. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the proposed amendment by the Leader of the Majority Party. This amendment, in fact, is in line with the need for the public to access information. Many counties have received funds and the public does not know. They always say they are still waiting for funds. Any money that is disbursed should be published and put on the website, so that the citizens can see that it has been released. Secondly, I am not sure if this also deals with the banks which county governments are using to secure funds and this ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting clause 3 and substituting therefor the following new clause— Amendment of “3. The Privatization Act is amended in section 5(1)(d) by section 5 of No.2 inserting the words “through a competitive process” of 2005 immediately after the word “Minister” The import of this amendment is to ensure that the best is realised. First, that the process is competitive. That, those to be appointed are identified competitively so that you realise the best out of what you have. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subsection immediately after the proposed new subsection (2) — “(3) The Cabinet Secretary shall submit a report in form of a Sessional Paper on a privatization proposal approved by the Cabinet to the National Assembly for consideration”. “(4) Upon laying before the National Assembly, a report under subsection (3) it shall stand referred to the relevant committee”. view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The idea behind this amendment is to ensure that the public participates in the process so that if the matter is not brought before Parliament as previously envisaged--- In the past, it was clearly provided that Parliament must approve the appointment of commissioners, but this amendment as introduced, suggests that this process be left to the Executive alone. The principle of governance under Article 10 of the Constitution includes democracy, participation of the people, transparency and accountability. The proposal seeks to remove the participation of the people. The role of Parliament is clear. Whatever we do here is on behalf ... view
• 9 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I think the intention that we have is good and Members are also in agreement. But I also do agree that we make it a little clearer. I would like to propose that we add the two words “and approval” after the word “consideration.” I wish to propose that amendment. I would like to call on Hon. Gumbo to second the amendment. view
