• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you need to protect me from hon. Muthama. I am going to take my time because I had warned you but you ignored the warning. This is a very important Motion. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: With the ten members we have approved, three are continuing. So, there is continuity in-built in the organisation. The other seven are fresh faces. We wanted to make sure that as we continue, we also inject fresh blood in the future of the CDF. I also want to confirm that the Minister proposed the names of the nominees in accordance with the new Constitution, and 40 per cent of them are women. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to make a few observations. The first category of statutory positions was meant to make the performance of the CDF very effective. Unfortunately, I must report that, as a Committee, we have not seen the value that these people are giving to this Committee. We do not see value in the representative of the Permanent Secretary (PS) of the Ministry of Finance. That is why our disbursements are delayed. We do not see the value in the representative of the Attorney-General. That is why even when we go to court, we have to hire ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have, indeed, not seen the value of the representative of the PS of the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 because some of the problems we have emanate from the District Development Officers (DDOs) and the District Accountants, whose representatives sit on the Board. We thought that they would be able to help us sort out some of the problems. view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Of course, the Ministry of Public Works could be forgiven for not being represented on the Board, but we now have one of them. In fact, the engineer is from the Ministry of Public Works. We have decided to bring him on board, so that we can sort out some of the issues we have encountered. view

• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, I would like to appeal to the Minister for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, and to the Treasury--- The CDF legal framework is not a wish list. It is not at the convenience of a Minister of Government. The CDF has had impact in all the 210 constituencies in this country. The law requires that the Treasury releases the CDF money at the beginning of every quarter of the financial year. As we speak, the money has not been released, even as the Deputy Leader of Government Business is forcing us to ... view
