• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I oppose that amendment. Once you prepare financial statements, like in Parliament, they have to be signed by the head of that institution who is the Clerk of the National Assembly. It is the same with the Attorney General‘s Office. Those are financial statements for his office. So, he has to take responsibility for purposes of auditing by the external auditor. So, who will then approve those financial statements for audit and therefore take responsibility for his office? So, the hon. Member may not have understood the meaning of that Clause. So, I ask him to withdraw that amendment. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move :- THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended by inserting the words ―by Parliament‖ immediately after the words ―upon request.‖ When we sat in the Committee, it was felt that when you say ―upon request‖ and you do not specify who is to request, you can have the Auditor- General (AG) receiving a lot of requests from every other person. So, we want to limit that request to Parliament to request the AG to do an audit at any given time. This is because the AG reports to Parliament under its ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 37 of the Bill be deleted. The reason why I want to delete it is that that mandate for environmental audit is already with another body called that National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA). Therefore, I propose a deletion because that is a separate mandate from that of the AG. view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me thank the hon. Members who have already spoken. There is provision in our Constitution requiring that we give everybody equal opportunity to get appointments in the public service. The provisions that we have made, as a Committee, followed a lot of consultations. Therefore, I urge the Member for Rarieda to withdraw his amendment in favour of the amendment of the Departmental Committee. Our amendment is more comprehensive. It gives Kenyans an opportunity to compete for the position. There are many practising members of the public. We need to give then opportunity to be interviewed ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge my friend to withdraw his amendment, so that we can move to the Departmental Committee‘s amendment, which was done after a lot of consultations. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Ho. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 38 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word ―may‖ appearing immediately after the words ―The Auditor-General‖ and substituting therefor the word ―shall‖. Clause 38 reads: ―The AG may examine the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal process of a state organ or a public entity with a view to confirming as to whether procurement was done lawfully and in an effective way.‖ We are saying that he must do it. Any time he is there he must check the procurement process to ensure that, that process was properly done, ... view
