• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, he promised that the funds that were supposed to be utilised under the Economic Stimulus Package in the Financial Year 2009/2010 were to be re-voted back. We would like to know at what time he would bring these funds to this House for re-voting; or what other mechanisms, if any he is using especially on account of the cash budgeting system that we now follow since we are not on an accrual accounting system. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy to hear him state here that the figure allocated towards CDF remains intact. If you look at the vote for the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, you will note that there are various items that are written to go under administration and other Government agencies. We also want to know the identity of these “other Government agencies” which are going to take monies from the Ministry, so that we are certain that monies like CDF remain intact and those monies that are supposed to be re-voted are actually re-voted at ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to categorically state that the Bill leaves a lot to be desired and requires some of these items to be addressed before we can say we fully support. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to refresh the minds of hon. Members on when he laid that Treasury Report on the Table of this House. view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I appreciate very much what has been presented by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government. However, in supporting this Motion, I would like to express reservations which need to be addressed for proper and prudent optimal utilization of public resources. If you look at what has been happening with the money that is allocated to the various local authorities, you will discover that at the beginning of the year there are very many grandiose plans and targets which midstream the financial year get reallocated to ... view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to comment on the question of the Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF) allocation. A lot has been said about the allocation and what has been achieved through the CDF allocations. The CDF is a mere 2.5 per cent of the gross revenue to the various constituencies which are 210.

But when you go around and hear comments by various Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), departments and the public, the focus is on CDF. This other ... view

• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that these fresh produce markets are supposed to be part of the Vision 2030 midterm programmes? They are scheduled to be constructed across the country in dotted areas. Maragua was slated for a fresh produce market and Maragua Local Authority set aside 30 acres. We are not asking the Ministry to buy this land. We set aside 30 acres of land for the same purpose. This was supposed to be implemented between 2008 and 2012. Even though ... view
