• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We are also aware about the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Most of the recommendations that this Committee has done--- Hon. Johana Ngeno who is a member of this Committee has not read the Report because it has also named some of the individual members who have misappropriated money. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In line with Article 226 of the Constitution, they have to be surcharged. I want to thank everyone for supporting this Motion and I move. Thank you. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had raised this issue concerning Hon. Kanini Kega’s ad hoc committee. I know Standing Order No.1 allows you to exercise discretion. We know again that this House is guided by traditions. Sometime back Hon. Wanga brought a similar Motion to set up an ad hoc c ommittee and it was declined. It was declined because ad hoc committees come in only if a matter is cross-cutting and does not have a substantive committee to handle. Hon. Kanini Kega has proposed an ad hoc committee to look at the issue of radicalization ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. At the outset, I rise to support. I want to thank Rev. Musyimi, who is the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, for working round the clock to give us this. Congratulations for work well done Reverend. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We know that appropriation is about money Kenyans pay in taxes. This money must be spent on Kenyans irrespective of the political divide you come from. It is, indeed, their right. As we appropriate this money, the big problem we have is corruption. I am happy to note that offices responsible for fighting corruption have been well taken care of. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Two weeks ago I was in the United States of America, Washington DC, where we visited the Government Accountability Office, which is in charge of issues to do with value for money. Something we learnt that Kenya should borrow is that about 70 to 80 per cent of the recommendations from the Government Accountability Office are implemented by the executive. When we come to this country some of the recommendations we get from the Auditor-General, if you look at the percentage that is being implemented, you will find that it is really insignificant. In this case the three critical offices ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We want to warn the forces of impunity that are trying to affect the Office of the DPP. If the Office of the DPP is not functional, we are going to have issues as far as the fight against corruption is concerned. We know very well that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, as we speak right now, is not fully constituted. Commissioners are not there and the people who are in charge right now in recruitment must move with speed so that this body can be fully functional. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We have seen the Public Audit Bill we debated in this Parliament. We do not want the forces of impunity to remove the independence of the Office of the Auditor-General. It is important that this Office is allowed to be independent for us to succeed in the fight against corruption. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I also want to mention something on matters of education. We have noted that capitation per student in secondary schools has been raised from Kshs11,000 to Kshs13,000. That notwithstanding, we know very well that, that money is not enough. We have been relying heavily on the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for bursary. When you look through this there is no bursary allocation in the Ministry. Where are these poor people going to get money from because we know it is not enough? I know basic education regulations were tabled here but we have not debated them. It is, ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: to the Supplementary Budget, we must look for a way of bringing back the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology bursary for secondary schools. view
