• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, I would like to support this amendment. I like the fact that the Standing Orders are now anticipating a debt management strategy. We appreciate that no one has been able to conclusively look at the debt strategy for Kenya. Having such an inclusion to be part of the BPS is going to be a good way to move. view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I would like to support this particular amendment. I am not so sure it is because of the 21 days that Hon. Gikaria says. I think it is more to do with the budget-making process. Ordinarily, I think whenever the National Treasury has given us Budget Estimates; it almost comes to Parliament as fait compli . I really think this particular one gives Parliament the chance to look at the Budget Estimates with regard to the Committee input and, at least, the Budget and Appropriations Committee then now reassures or reworks the Budget Estimates with ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I would like to support this particular amendment. The reason I support this particular amendment is what is contained in Clause 243 (2) where it is asking that for you to have a supplementary budget, there shall be a statement showing how that relates to the fiscal responsibility principles and financial objectives. I really think that the manner in which we have been passing supplementary budgets sometimes does not respond or accord to this particular Standing Order. I really think it is a good provision. I support. view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. The New Standing Order 200A is a good improvement. Some of our Committees have pending issues which need to be tackled by the succeeding Parliament and if there is no hand-over or exit report it becomes very difficult to proceed. It is a great inclusion. I support. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I am inclined to oppose this particular amendment. It might have knowledge on finance and issues budget although not very up to date, but I would like to be educated on the import of approving upfront a 10 per cent expenditure. What then is the role of a Supplementary Budget? We appreciate that each time you allow the Cabinet Secretaries to bring supplementary budgets, but allowing them to spend upfront 10 per cent above, in my view, goes contrary to the constitutional provisions in terms of how then, you appropriate money for the various functions. ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, now you understand why Hon. Millie tickles me. Apart from being my neighbour, she has a way of going around many things. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: She has spoken to something that, in my view, is important, that is the new Standing Order No.257A. That is the particular constitutional amendment which speaks to the number of times a Member of Parliament needs to be absent from of the Assembly. Remember Hon. Gumbo, in his wisdom, had proposed a constitutional amendment. As it is currently in the Constitution, it is impractical to give effect to that sitting. The constitutional provision says that a Member cannot miss eight sittings in a Session. That is an issue that needs to be looked at in terms of the wording and ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, regarding the provisions of the New Standing Order No.257A, you probably need to make an omnibus decision in terms of how you deal with Members’ requests of leave of absence without saying that you ought to write. This particular Standing Order needs to be thought through and re-crafted to align it with the constitutional provisions regarding leave of absence from Parliament. view
