• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The other effect this amendment will have is that we are proposing – remember when the Chair was doing the Report – to give an additional Kshs3 billion from the saving we had made to the Ministry of Tourism and another Kshs3 billion to the Ministry of Industrialization. It was my Committee that agreed that we can reduce that additional to Kshs2.75 billion each so that we can get the Kshs500 million to allocate to the PSC. Therefore, I want to request the House to approve this Kshs500 million so that they can meet their immediate requirements for construction and ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your guidance. When the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee was moving the Motion, he gave an indication that there was an addendum to the Report. Arising from that, I want to make it formal now by moving an amendment so that, that addendum becomes part of the report. The amendment reads as follows: view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: “The Motion be amended by inserting the following words after the figure “2013” “Subject to: (a) amending paragraph 41, Item 4 on page 14 by deleting the figure of Kshs300 million and substituting with a new figure of Kshs500 million thereof. (b) inserting the following items immediately after item 7 on page 15 of the Report: “(8) Kshs1 billion be allocated to Geothermal Development Corporation (GDC); (9) Kshs1.34 billion be allocated to the Rural Electrification Authority (REA); (10) Kshs700 million for the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETC), and; (11) Kshs300 million for the Solar Project under the Ministry of Energy.” view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: This in effect formalizes what the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee said when he was reading the Report on the issue of the addendum so that these monies are given to the GDC and REA. The REA is doing a lot of good work in our respective constituencies and I want to inform hon. Members to go to the REA and get the status of each constituency for both the current and next financial year so that they put in their priorities. So, I want to move these amendments and request my Vice Chair, Hon. Gaichuhie to second view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the work they have done. I thank the Chairman and the Members of the Committee because we spent a lot of time putting in place the proposals contained in this Report. I have two amendments on this Motion but before I move them, I would like to make a few comments. When the President and the Deputy President were campaigning, they made a lot of promises to the youth. I want to thank them because in this year’s Budget, there is Kshs25 billion which ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I have moved these amendments, on behalf of the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee. We have agreed with my Committee. I am also in agreement with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: During the Committees’ hearings from the Ministries, our Committee heard from all the independent commissions. Unfortunately, we invited the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, together with the Public Service Commission. The Constitution says that the budget of every independent commission should be on a separate Vote. Therefore, we were unable to listen to the Public Service Commission initially. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: However, subsequently we have been able to listen to the Public Service Commission, they have a genuine case, hon. Members should listen to them. They had a request of so much but we were only able to give them what was urgent. One of them is that they have an ongoing building, they have signed a contract and they expected the date of completion to be within the next financial year yet the money has not been allocated in the Estimates published earlier. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, hon. Speaker, Sir, the PSC has been there but with the new Constitution other commissions came in and what has happened is that the salaries of the staff at the PSC are half the salaries of the other commissions. This is a Commission which has done a very good job and I believe they are still doing a very good job. They put a request for salary adjustment to harmonize with the other commissions and that request was view
