• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Since everything that is taking place in this House goes on record, could you confirm whether the results you have read include the vote that was purported to have been cast by the delegation of Kisumu, because technically he did not vote? Could you confirm? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, since I did not make it on record--- view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, because of the respect I have for the dead, I want to withdraw and apologise. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I withdraw and apologise. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the new clauses but I would like to request the Chair to come back and clarify two issues. The first one is; as the Chairman knows, the practice in this country is that we spend revenue as we collect. It is not like in other governments where the money they spend is the money which was collected and banked for the previous years. Could you come and explain to the nation what would happen if, in spite of that provision in that amendment, the Government did not collected revenue because we are talking ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: The second thing I would like the Chair to clarify is that this issue came up yesterday but you attempted to sweep it under the carpet. Yesterday, I observed that in the Bill that was moved by the Senate Leader of Majority, the money which was available for conditional allocation was indicated as Kshs43 billion. Now, in your new matrix, you have shared out Kshs20 billion. Could you tell us what happened to the Kshs23 billion that is now missing here and which Treasury had already told us in its Bill that it was available and ready for sharing? If ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I want to support strongly the Committee in the new way that they have brought the schedules. Indeed, it makes it clearer. However, I want to observe the following. The seriousness of what we are doing now reminds this House of the practice in the National Assembly. When a matter like this is being tackled at the National Assembly, usually the technocrats from the Treasury will sit in the galleries, so that they take note of the comments that we make. When the Chairman is cornered, they are able to feed him with quick answers on the ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Chairman, Sir, having said that, yesterday, the Chairman promised that he was going to furnish us with an appendix showing the list of donor-funded projects, which are the reason we have discrepancies in the conditional allocations. Could I request that the Chairman of the Committee gives us this appendix? We want to know which projects are being funded by the donor funds in our respective counties so that should this money be misapplied, we can then carry out proper oversight. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. One of my points of order was directed at the Chairman of the Committee and another one to the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole. However, you were consulting and that is, probably, why you did not hear. For this exercise to be given the seriousness that it deserves, I had requested that you consider directing technocrats from the Ministry as they do during budget process, to sit in the Speaker’s Gallery for them to capture the proceedings of the House and to instantly give answers to the Chairman of the Committee. It requires ... view
