• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As the Chair has already put it, initially, I thought we are passing this money to be spent in the next few hours before the close of the financial year. I have thus understood that this is only procedural. We want to pass it because the money has already been spent. We have been having problems with the National Treasury because once the Budget Estimates have been approved, they need to be disbursed to the various Government departments for spending. They take a long time to disburse these monies and then we start doing things in a rushed way. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Whereas in Parliament we do our work expediently and at the right time, the National Treasury delays until some projects are not completed. It is not because the law was not passed, but because of delays by the National Treasury itself. As we speak, there are some constituencies which have not yet received their 2015/2016 allocation. Some have a balance of almost 60 to 70 per cent and we have a few hours to the close of the financial year. This keeps overlapping and those proposed projects stall. They do not move because of the problem of disbursement by the ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to urge the National Treasury that once we pass money for disbursement, let them act expediently and early enough so that projects do not stall and the people waiting for services get them early enough. We should let a year pass by and then allow projects to overlap. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion as it has been moved by my able Chairman. I thank the Chairman and fellow Members of the Committee for the rigorous exercise we went through in vetting these Kenyans to these positions in the Privatisation Commission of Kenya. The Commission will be in place after this House passes these nominees. They will go down to business as soon as possible because we know that presently we have several institutions in this country which have been earmarked for privatisation. This should be done expediently for them to start moving on ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Despite the time limitation that the Chairman has already mentioned, we sat and burnt the midnight oil to make sure that we beat the deadline. I am happy that we managed to do the same despite the limitation. I also thank my colleagues because they all dedicated themselves to this purpose. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: All the nominees, as it has been said, are qualified. Moreso, there is also gender balance because out of the seven members, we have two ladies. That is close to the requirement of the Constitution because it is 2.1 of a person. I believe that meets the threshold. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: These nominees are persons from diverse fields in their qualification. I strongly believe that the Commission will be well represented because we have lawyers, teachers, bankers, business people and career civil servants. These brains put together will do a good job. They will come up with results which will be binding. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I do not want to belabour much because my Chairman has already done it but I request the nominating authorities of these commissions to look across the board to have a national outlook when they nominate. All the nominees were qualified but there was a small air of feeling that we did not look across the country despite the small number of nominees. All in all, they were all qualified and once this House passes the Motion, they will do a good job for this country. view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to second. view
