• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee commenced its sittings on the 7th May, 2008 and held a total of 84 sittings at which almost all the Accounting Officers appointed by Treasury appeared before the Committee to explain and respond to queries which had been raised by the Controller and Auditor-General. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: All the witnesses were subjected to thorough examination and scrutiny of documents was done by the Committee, which critically analyzed both oral and written submissions. Although most of the witnesses provided required information, the Committee noted with grave concern that some Accounting Officers failed to avail required documents or information, despite the many reminders. The Committee came view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, I will take it from the bottle. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Dr. Eseli. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the third Ministry was the Ministry of State for Defence and the outstanding issue was about fees at the Defence Staff College and National Defence College, as contained in Paragraphs 365 and 368. No satisfactory explanation has been given for failure to recover the outstanding training fees totaling to Kshs92.9 million owed to the Government by both foreign and local Government- sponsored students. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee noted with grave concern that, unlike other colleges, the National Defence College and the Defense Staff College admitted both foreign and local students even before receiving part of the fees, leading to a possible loss of a huge amount of revenue. My Committee recommends that the accounting officer should move with speed and liaise with the Ministry concerned to recover all outstanding fees by 31st December, 2009. The Committee further recommends that the accounting officer should ensure that the current training policy and guidelines are strictly adhered to in order to safeguard public ... view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second issue under that Ministry concerned aircraft components held by foreign companies. This is under Paragraph 373. My Committee expressed concern that aircraft components were sent abroad almost five years ago, with the Ministry having absolutely no idea how much the repairs would cost view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: the cost of new ones. The Ministry was also completely dependent on foreign companies to unilaterally fix the cost of repairs. The Committee recommends that the accounting officers should personally pursue this matter with a view to ensuring that remaining components are repaired and shipped back to the country immediately. He should also finalize the issue of compensation by the freight companies for the lost documents. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Committee was further gravely concerned by the increase in the number of accidents involving aircrafts under that Ministry. In fact, the House will remember that one of the aircrafts led to the loss of lives of five hon. Members of this Parliament. May the Lord rest their souls in eternal peace and, as a result, this Committee recommends that the accounting officer should initiate an audit by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, on all the aircrafts used by the Department of Defence, with a view to ascertaining their performance and safety status. view
• 21 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we continue to put our servicemen’s lives at great risk because most of the aircrafts are very out-dated, old and based on old technology. We hope that as the Committee makes these recommendations, Parliament is going to take it up for the safety of our servicemen, who continue to lose their lives. view
