• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As I support it, I want to inform Hon. Kabinga, the Member for Mwea that, indeed, what he has said is true in terms of inequitable distribution of NG-CDF. But initially, I want him to note that in the last Parliament, the NG-CDF was not distributed equally. The formula was changed afterwards and this was very unfair. I want to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: request the Member to petition the NG-CDF Committee for that formula to be reviewed. If you did not know, that is very possible. Indeed, that is why when it comes to division of revenue, once it has been done vertically between the two levels of government, when it comes down, equity is always a basis. For example, Hon. Wamunyinyi’s constituency of Kanduyi triples so many constituencies. It is very unfair to be given an equal amount of money. When it comes to bursaries, the Leader of the Majority Party said that whenever he gets money from the NG-CDF, he pays ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We need to revisit that matter because it was very unfair to have changed the formula of sharing where you give equally to all constituencies. I know that Subukia Constituency is heavily populated and it is very unfair since he is getting an equal amount of money with a constituency which is an eighth of its size for that matter. I truly support that because where I come from in Kiminini Constituency, we have so many wards. The amount of NG-CDF money that we are being given is the same as one with three wards. It is high time we ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I thank the Special Funds Accounts Committee. They have done very well and it is being chaired by an Independent Member. The observations that have been highlighted here cut across the entire country when it comes to implementation. The fund managers are the Authority to Incur Expenditure (AIE) holders. Many times when you want to succeed in any constituency… There is a positive correlation between the performance of a constituency and the kind of fund manager you have. There are some fund managers who are obstacles to development. Since they are the AIE holders, they add a lot of value ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: When it comes to issues of bursaries, we have poor families whose children go to school because of NG-CDF. This fund is not enough and will not be enough for the poor children in the rural areas. Hon. Speaker, the question is: We are going to the month of March, as the Government talks of the 100 per cent transition, but NG-CDF has not released money. Some of the poor children as we speak are still at home. They only released the Ksh10 million where they prioritised administration. It is common sense that January is when children report to schools. ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We know that NG-CDF has done so much. In this country, every village you go, you will see a small project of NG-CDF. As you compare this with the county governments, the devolution we are talking about and those big projects, when it comes to the counties, they are not felt in some villages. How I wish that we get a framework on how to increase the percentage of this NG-CDF so that it can reach the common citizen in the village. That is very critical. The NG-CDF Act has undergone a lot of transformation. I am told in the ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Another issue is that of training the CDFC members on matters procurement. There is a procurement law which is in place, but we also have a Project Management Committee (PMC) that is responsible for matters of tendering. I have seen people running to me requesting for the NG-CDF tenders. MPs do not give tenders. The law is very clear; the NG-CDF Committee is there and then it cascades down to PMC. view
