• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Committee needs to look at the way funds are distributed for roads maintenance in this country. Some petitioners are requesting for dual carriageways while other counties like mine have no roads. We have been complaining about a Class “B” Road, which has never been tarmacked. When we see people asking for a second road or a dual carriageway and we have none, it is an issue of concern. These are the issues that the Committee should take up and discuss to make sure that, as a country, all regions are treated fairly. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank PAC for the detailed Report it has presented to this House. In the past, these Reports have experienced very long delays. We are only two years in terms of backlog and the Committee can now fast-track the implementation. It will be good for us to get timely reports of Government accounts from the previous year. I am saying this because our Constitution and Public Finance Management (PFM) Act provide that it is only audited reports approved by this House that can be used to determine the amount of money to be allocated ... view

• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: If you go to Europe and come back and you do not account for the imprest you were given, your salary should be deducted. You either produce documents or pay back the money. Personally, I do not accept this idea that people can fail to account for imprest unless people are using the imprest as interest free loans from the Government.

This is an area that the PAC needs to push the Accounting Officers to ensure that officers surrender their imprest. It is easy ... view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it would be necessary for the Vice- Chairman to tell us the import of this amendment. view
• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, that is quite important. The Senate has done a good job. This is an issue of cleaning the Bill in Clause 10. I support. view

• 11 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also support this amendment. Even as I support, it is important we observe that wide consultation is important though it should not be used to delay implementation of decisions. At some time, the room for consultation has been used to delay implementation. I support. view
