• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to reinforce what my colleagues have said. It beats matters of prudence for an ordinary Kenyan who has done business with a county government to go to the bank and the bank asks him where he got the money to do business. It is very sad. That is why the Exchequer has a problem doing collections. If, indeed, we allow all Kenyans to bank their money and withdraw it, we can easily trace those Kenyans who are not able to pay taxes. We do not have problems supporting our ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (a) Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that residents of Gem Constituency are living in fear due to high levels of insecurity?

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Report by the Public Accounts Committee. Not to belabour the points my colleagues have canvassed, it is prudent to congratulate Mr. Edward Ouko for being candid and for doing a very good job in the context of revealing the flaws that exist in our ministries. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is important to note that audit reports help in the independent and systematic examination of statutory records and books of accounts. It is important that even as we look at the accounts as presented by the audit report, we should also look at what would help us achieve a good level of efficacy. We should ensure that processes that are not working well are corrected. The processes that have been pointed out by the Auditor-General for improvement should be enforced, so that in the next audit, we can see an improvement from the ministries based on the flaws that ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is important that we have an audit report that is proactive. Is it possible to have an audit report that would hold officers accountable the same year or a year after the budget has lapsed? This will ensure that we do not wait for so many years to get an audit report which would be more of historical than looking at the current happenings. In my perspective, we need to engage the Auditor-General’s Office. If they can expedite the process and ensure that we get the audit report in time, the agencies can prosecute those who are culpable in ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: who are working can know that if they plunder the country’s resources, they will be held accountable. It is also important to point out that one of the benefits of an audit report is to improve processes. The audit report, other than pointing out those who are culpable, should point out how to improve on the processes that exist so that in using those improved processes, we can reduce the plunder of the country’s resources. view
