• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Committee for bringing this Authority back. It was a concern for us in the urban areas because these roads are important for the growth of our economy. It is also a good amendment because the Kenya National Urban Roads Authority can now borrow money as an institution to fund some roads in the urban areas that are vital because sometimes the Budget is not enough. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, not basically on the same but I am on 11(C)(3) where the nominating organisation will send three names and the CS will only pick one. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not about this one but on the other Schedule. I had proposed some amendments which I took to the Clerk’s Office, but I cannot see them here. I remember last week Hon. Gumbo was complaining that there was an amendment that was never included in the Order Paper. I had brought mine as well and it was an amendment on the Third Schedule. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Well, we take our amendments to the Clerk’s Office. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with you. In my understanding, the recommittal was requested by Hon. Chepkong’a regarding the issue of constitutionality of that clause. Since Hon. Chepkong’a has withdrawn his recommittal request, as you rightly said, Hon. Nyikal needs to understand. In my understanding, we have come back to the Committee of the whole House to deal with the aspect of the constitutionality of that clause. I totally agree with you and ask Hon. Nyikal to hold his horses. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also thank the Committee led by Hon. Kamanda for the good work that they have done. The only issue we want to raise here is in the Third Schedule. Counties need to learn from the Kenya Urban Roads Authority and the newly established Kenya National Secondary Roads Authority (KeNSRA). The small roads in the counties have been classified, but the classification has been done in a very poor way. The quality of the works, like murraming and drainage, because of flooding, is poor. I wish the Senate would take up this matter and provide ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We also need to look at the formula of making the amendments. Hon. Outa had brought a very important amendment. When the Committee’s amendment was carried, Hon. Outa’s amendment was defeated. So, it is important to look at what the other Members have brought. Some people take a long time to prepare the amendments, only for them to be defeated because the Committee’s amendment has carried the day. It is important to look at the individual Members’ amendment and pick the ones that are good. We can use them to improve the Bill. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to air my comments regarding the Report which has been tabled in the House. The Committee has done a very good job. We want to thank the new Chair, Mr. Gumbo, for the good work that he has done. At the same time, the Committee now needs to give us direction with regard to most of the things. Where there are shortcomings, the Committee can propose some amendments to either the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act or whichever Act so that we can be compliant with the law. One issue is ... view
