• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I move and request him to second. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I strongly second the amendment. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I want to start by stating that my Ministry has no authority to control, regulate or monitor Government expenditure on advertisements in media houses. In my view, this Question should have been directed to the Office of the Prime Minister, which co- ordinates all Ministries. However, I have managed to gather expenditures on advertisements--- view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: However, I have managed to gather expenditures on advertisements from 23 out of 42 Ministries, which I believe broadly reflects Government expenditure on advertisements. Although we wrote to all Ministries to provide this information, as you may note, not all Ministries responded. The total advertisement expenditures for 23 Ministries since 2005, amount to Kshs974,224,134. I hereby table the breakdown as requested by the hon. Member. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The trend of advertisement expenditure for the period 2005/2006 and 2010/2011 Financial Years by the 23 Ministries varies from one year to another depending on the number of activities to be implemented in a given financial year. The activities that require advertisements include tendering, recruitments, public awareness campaigns, launching of public programmes and call for public stakeholders fora among others. The expansion of the Government to 42 Ministries has also contributed to the increase in advertisement expenditure. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (b) I wish to table the list of top 20 Ministries in spending for the financial years under review based on the 23 responsive Ministries. The Office of the President leads in Government expenditure with Kshs207.5 million, while the Ministry of State for Special Programme spending is least with Kshs1.87 million. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (c) As stated, the Ministry of Information and Communications has no control over advertisement expenditures in other Ministries, departments and agencies. The Ministry is, therefore, not able to table the contractual documents as requested, since the other Ministries are not mandated to report or request any clearance from my Ministry. However, all Ministries are expected to follow procurement guidelines in procuring advertisement services in the media houses. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has nothing to hide. So, it is okay if the Question is referred to the Office of the Prime Minister. view
• 30 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I agree, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
