• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. There are two amendments in that particular section. I support the first part but I do not entirely support the second one. This is because I still believe that the Cabinet has a very important role. There is the area of collective responsibility and prudent use of national resources, where all the Ministries are aware of the big projects that are going on. In this particular case we have made the Cabinet Secretary to just inform unlike what we had in the original section of the Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support that amendment. I think it is international best practice hence we are not doing anything new as Kenya. Internationally this is what happens. Secondly, that is one reason why we have the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. It is supposed to oversee the area where they are buying specialized The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: equipment. Before the equipment is bought, the Cabinet is fully versed with what is being purchased and not necessarily in terms of quantity. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment on the grounds that it is one of the means of safeguarding public funds. Secondly, this variation of contracts is the most abused process in this country. This is because even before a project has started, somebody knows that the price will be varied. The Committee in its wisdom has built in some form of safeguards. It may not necessarily be the best but it is a safeguard. view

• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was wondering why you should have the Cabinet Secretary involved in this. The laws of this country are clear that it is the Public Service Commission and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission who should determine salaries for civil servants and other public officers. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand under Standing Order No.95. Both sides of the divide have agreed to this list. We are not likely to change it so, I beg for the Mover to be called upon to reply. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to support the proposal by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Speaker, when we are in this House we are not doing public relations duties; we are rendering service to this country. It is unacceptable for monies to be just given for the sake of “that the counties need more money.” There must be adequate justification and we must know the source of that money. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I believe the Senate was fully on board with regard to the Budget Policy Statement that we received much earlier in the year. They took into understanding exactly what was required because there were three principal documents: The Budget Policy Statement; the Draft Division of Revenue Bill; the Medium Term Debt Management The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
