• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Chairlady. Let me attempt to move an amended version of my amendment taking into account both hon. Odhiambo-Mabona’s and hon. Eng Gumbo by inserting the words “open and” before the words “competitive basis”. That should take care of her amendment and then for hon. Gumbo, that will need to come on its own. At the end, the wording should read “this appointment will be subject to the vetting by the Parliamentary Committee”. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my further amendment is as follows: “There shall be a Chief Executive Officer of the Board who shall be recruited by the Board in an open and competitive basis and recommendations made to the Cabinet Secretary for appointment upon parliamentary approval.” view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 9 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (7) and substituting therefor the following new sub-section- (7) The Board may impose reasonable requirements, including restrictions, on a particular constituency and such restrictions or requirements shall be reported together with the monthly returns to be submitted to the Cabinet Secretary in accordance with this Act. If you look at what had been stated before, it is just to make it more inclusive on specific particulars. view

But if you look at the original arrangement, it was about misuse of funds and the rest and we thought it was deliberately creating an impression that the Fund is misused as if it is an NGO. So, that is why we want to deal with such. In terms of restrictions, we really want the committees on the ground to realize that you cannot just do things without due process ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (2) and substituting therefor the following new sub-section (2). (2) Once funds are allocated for a particular project, they shall remain allocated for that project and may only be re-allocated for any other purpose during the financial year with the approval of the Board. The reason here is just to bring clarity. We had actually a big debate within the Committee on whether we do not mean the same thing. We are trying to say, as the practice now is, that ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you will have to bear with me. I want to persuade my good friend. We have worked very well with him. The speed of a Cabinet Secretary and the speed of the chair of a parliamentary committee are too different. This is money allocation. You remember the issues we were going through with hon. Githae. If we do not get the parliamentary committees involved, we will see things which we cannot believe. So, I really want to persuade hon. Members, as strongly put by Eng. Gumbo; that we should have these things clarified, in terms of ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 12 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by deleting the words “there is no legislative authority and” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, these words serve no purpose in the Bill. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I concur completely. view
