• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Now that you have said it is one minute, I will just consume the one minute. I would like to say that the Chief Justice only relied on Article 261 of the Constitution rather than looking at the Constitution holistically. Article 259 of the Constitution, as it is written and also stated elsewhere in the same Constitution, provides that if there is a conflict between different language versions of this Constitution, the way you have said, for instance, certain legal jargon, the English language version prevails. That is what our Constitution says. I have read it ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, I feel his decision is vindictive. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me to appreciate the Report by the Special Funds Accounts Committee and thank them for the good work they have done. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: What comes out of this is the question, what is an audit? In my view, an audit is not a word that puts you in trouble or blames you. Instead, it is simply a statement to enable you correct the past for a better tomorrow. Therefore, I feel a properly done audit will help an organisation to run its affairs very well. I want to agree and appreciate the Report in its entirety so that the various constituencies involved can improve from what has been highlighted in the audit. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: One of the key issues that has come up is reallocation of funds. I want to agree that this is a challenge not just emanating from the constituency alone, but also the manner in which the NG- CDF Board takes time to effect the proposed changes of the reallocation. I wish to ask the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) together with the Board to recognise that they are a secretariat supporting various constituencies in terms of implementing the Fund. Therefore, let them be very effective when it comes to reallocation. The approach of the operation of the Fund is bottom-up. A ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: It is my plea and request to the Board to move quickly. For instance, we received a circular from the Board asking that we can vary funding from bursaries to other development concerns for instance, building of classrooms because of the covid-19 issues. For those who applied up to-date this issue has not been effected. So, how do you put this into action on the ground? This is the case and yet we can see the CS for Education saying schools are reopening next week, the week after or next month. He needs to make a quick decision on when ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance. From the outset, I wish to support the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill. In the footsteps of the Leader of the Minority Party, allow me to say that we cannot have a Government that has no policies and rules that govern the collection of revenue. Seven years down the line since we promulgated our Constitution, it is not fair that we have not really drafted the right rules in terms of a financial administration and collection of revenue at the county governments. This Bill seeks to put in place a seamless ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: the audit aspect of the resources. Audit will be achieved and once its verifiable, there is definitely going to be a better way of handling the resources for the counties that have collected. This Bill recognises the existence of the KRA, the CRA and the CoG who will be a joint organ in terms of laying down the rules that will govern the formation of these tax rules. Therefore, once it is enacted, it is not going to override the existence of CRA and KRA. The independence of those institutions will still be there, but it will gain the richness ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Our Standing Orders provide that every Member shall be responsible for what he states. Can the Member confirm that the IFMIS has failed - that it is a fraud and has paid various amounts of money to wrong recipients? Thank you. view
