• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: NOW THEREFORE, the Senate recommends that the National Treasury in partnership with the Controller of Budget, Commission on Revenue Allocation, the Council of Governors and the County Assemblies Forum to- 1. Ensure that all the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP’s) and Annual Development Plans (ADP’s) are aligned to Vision 2030 with an implementation, monitoring, and evaluation framework in place; 2. Address Pending Bills by prioritizing their payment, creating clear timeframes for payment and publishing a schedule of payment of the same; and 3. Prioritize the completion of stalled development projects prior to undertaking or funding new projects. Thank you, Madam ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, something came up in the Senate Committee on Public Accounts and Investments (CPAIC), where I sit. Last time when the governor came before CPAIC, she told us that her county had pending bills amounting to Kshs160 million. However, she says that when the Auditor-General started auditing, the pending bills have increased to over Kshs460 million. There is mathematics that is not working out when it comes to the utilization of the public money. This is taxpayers’ money, therefore, every penny must be put into rightful use. In the same Committee, we are proposing that it is high ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: The national Treasury has come up with some regulations on what they are calling Project Information Management Systems (PIMS). It is good, but when is the time of implementation? We ask the national Treasury to move faster and ensure this system is implemented. We can also have the service delivery units in the counties so that we can monitor some of these issues. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: The last case that the Senate lost to the Council of Governors (CoGs) – where we were to have County Development Boards to be chaired, probably, by the Senators – was unfortunate because that is the direction we need to go. We need governance issues so that when projects are started, there are feasibility studies and public participation. Once it is agreed that a certain project is what we need, then we give it priority. We do not have to start projects here and there. That is not proper utilisation of funds. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the people of Kenya got into a social contract with elected leaders, especially the President and governors. They gave up their rights to us so that we could utilise the taxes all pay on their behalf. The oversight role of the Senate can never be over emphasised. When we say that this project needs to be completed, we are not doing so because we want to be governors; it is our duty to do so. The people of Kirinyaga County, who elected me, did so because I can pinpoint to them what needs to The electronic version ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: be implemented. I promised them that I would ensure value for money; and that every penny must count. We are now talking about increasing money to the counties. I hope that we are going to get more money to the counties. If that is so, they should also be responsible and make sure that every shilling is put to value so that Wanjiku and everybody else benefits from the monies we are taking to the counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, as we move forward, we, probably, also need to look at the procurement procedure, because that is where corruption starts. We ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. I will be seeking for hardship allowance for staying here for so long waiting for my Motion. Sen. Wambua is my good friend. After elections, I was one of the first Senators to visit him and we had a goat auction in Kitui. It is good for the Senate to go to Kitui The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: County. When we went to Uasin Gishu County, certain issues came up and the Senate was to act on them. However, those issues have not been addressed. A case in point is that of the special economic zone that we visited with you and the Speaker but no solution has been provided to the issues that were raised there. We will also be promoting local tourism when we go to Kitui. I am sure that the economy of Kitui will benefit during that week. I want to urge Sen. Wambua to prepare many goats for us. He can probably organise ... view
