• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Kenya’s public debt ceiling is Kshs10 trillion. Therefore, there must be discipline in terms of the management of public resources. As we anchor public debt in this Bill, the commitment of the Government and President William Ruto is that the fight against corruption is at the center. We do not have to borrow huge chunks of money and put the country in huge debt. We were nearing an economic crisis by allowing corrupt individuals within and outside Government to plunder, mismanage and waste public funds yet the money being plundered was borrowed. view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, at individual level, we do not borrow money to go and piga sherehe or take chai na mandazi. Everybody who borrows a loan from a bank would want to account for each and every coin. If we translate the same commitment as what we do to personal loans and mortgages, this country will go far. I agree with the President in the commitment to fight corruption in national and county governments as a top priority. We have heard about the pending bills in Vihiga County, which Sen. Osotsi has brought to the attention of the House. ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: People will ask what the role of Parliament will be when we anchor 55 per cent and an extra five per cent in case of a breach. The result of this law is that they will give an update in case the Cabinet Secretary exceeds the set percentages. Therefore, it is within our interest to bring down the percentage from 64.1 per cent to 60 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in terms of borrowing in the present value terms. Is there a disease; a cancer or a terminal illness at the State Law Office? Article 93 of ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: do not live in counties. If they do not live in counties, then we can agree with this proposal. We must amend this proposal. We should proceed to the mediation Committee. We will amend the amendment to ensure that we anchor the role of the Senate in the management of public debt. The principles of public finance under Article 201 are clear that Parliament is bicameral. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, another interesting thing is Clause Six of the Bill, which states that- “A public debt incurred by the national Government is a charge on the Consolidated Fund, unless the Cabinet ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: “Within seven days after either House of Parliament so requests by resolution, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall present to the relevant committee, information concerning any particular loan or guarantee, including all information necessary to show— (a) the extent of the total indebtedness by way of principal and accumulated interest; (b) the use made or to be made of the proceeds of the loan; (c) the provision made for servicing or repayment of the loan; and (d) the progress made in the repayment of the loan.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are a learned senior. I know your prowess ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know the dominant language of Sen. Faki is Kiswahili. Some of us are speaking Queens English, but I just meant courts of law. I do not doubt that Sen. Faki is conversant in both languages. However, my prowess and the grasp of English language and Queens Language, can only be equated to the late Kijana Wamalwa. view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: In conclusion, this is a straightforward amendment. When you look at Article 211, we still have a role. Even if these drafters are mischievous, I do not want to use the bad language or unparliamentary language, it will be negated. Sen. Okiya Omtatah, with all due respect or any other Kenyan might move to court and have this part nullified. Article 211 is very clear that Houses of Parliament do reporting on public debt. We need to determine the competence of people who are drafters in the State Law Office, or they need to come for capacity building before the ... view
• 3 Aug 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the dictionary meaning of the word ‘regime’ is authoritarian. view
