• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Sorry, hon. Speaker. It is not in relation to what hon. Wanga is saying, but I am just borrowing from the words she has used. This is a relatively small Bill which has been discussed several times in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. This House has a lot of heavier agenda. Will I be in order to move that going by the mood of the House, we call the Mover to reply given that the same Bill is coming for Third Reading immediately after this? view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended— (a) in subclause (1) (c) by deleting the word “things” and substituting therefor the word “duties”; (b) in subclause (2) by deleting the expression “subject to Article 234(5) of the Constitution”; (c) in subclause (3) by deleting the words “as far as it is appropriate to do so” appearing immediately after the words “the Republic”. Basically, I want to clean up the Bill. This is to improve the independence of the Auditor-General rather than subject him to the Public Service Commission, which is an ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have seen the amendment. It seems to improve the Bill. It talks about what is actually provided for in the Constitution, which is “fair, competitive and transparent process.” So, I support the further amendment. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: You know outreach is done on assignment basis. It would be very expensive to have offices in every county. It will be wastage of resources of Kenya. We should be the last people to waste resources. There will be no point in, for example, having stations of auditors in Kericho or Bomet. It will be wasteful to hire officers. Auditing is done on an annual basis and this House must be efficient in the way we use resources. Even my good friend, the hon. Member for Wundanyi is a private auditor. He has clients all the way in Kericho, but ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on its consideration of a public petition by a resident of Trans Nzoia County on the irregular purchase of Trans Nzoia Referral Hospital. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I want to request Members to listen to me. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, at the stage where we are, this cannot be carried as a money Bill because even if we pass the Budget Policy Statement, the Cabinet Secretary cannot use it to remove money from the Consolidated Fund. At this stage, this one remains a Motion. I am also a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. At this stage, this is a Motion, and can be amended; it is not a Money Bill. However, having said so, it does not mean that I support the amendment. The figure in contention is Kshs3 billion and the narration is “Public Hearings”. ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We do not have to cause unnecessary commotion. This is only the first stage. We still have the most important stage, which is deliberation on the Budget Estimates. This provision is available for amendment at the Budget Estimates stage. The most important thing is to get to the appropriations stage. Currently, we have issues with the CDF and our roads. The money should easily go to roads, through the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KERRA) so that our dilapidated roads can be fixed. Hon. Members can disagree with me on that one, but I know where they come from roads are ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I want Members to also be very strategic. With the issues that we have in Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), we may never survive. view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon Speaker. I wish to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on the Privatisation of the Public Sector Owned/Controlled Sugar Companies (Nzoia Sugar Company, South Nyanza Sugar Company, Chemelil Sugar Company, Muhoroni Sugar Company and Miwani Sugar Company), laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, December 2, 2014. I want to first of all thank the members of my Committee who sat to produce this Report. I wish to indicate that the sugar sector supports a lot of Kenyans. In fact, it is ... view
