• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: This Committee will look at the audit reports from the Auditor-General on political parties, so that we can table the understanding based on the issues raised to this House. The Members can debate and see how the money that has been allocated from the Political Parties Fund is used. Based on the deliberations, we are looking at how much of the 0.3 per cent of the revenue collected has been released and what has not been released. That money will be crucial for political parties. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With that, I beg to reply. view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving the opportunity to second the Motion. I thank the Chairman for a job well done. This is our second Report after the Nairobi County Constituencies Report. Based on the recommendations that are made in this Report, from the outset, I would like to second. First, with regard to ICT conformity on information back-up, we understand that the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties has already set up the ICT steering team that has come up with various plans, including the ICT Strategic Plan and the information conformity and disaster recovery plan. ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: recommend that to be factored in in the 2018/2019 Financial Year, so that it can be implemented. I request for the support of Members so that this recommendation can be implemented. Secondly, on the money that is allocated to the Political Parties Fund, the 0.3 per cent allocation is from the revenue collected by the National Treasury. Our realisation during the deliberations was that the Political Parties Fund gets only 0.3 per cent of the net balance after the interests of the Government are already met. They calculate the total expenditure for the political parties after factoring in the Equalisation ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I thank the Committee Chairman for the good work done. As they say, behind every successful chair, there is a very strong team behind. Well done to the team. One issue that has come out very clear, which is worrying, is the late issuance of AIEs. We are in technological times and we wonder why the Treasury disbursements to the constituencies and the NG-CDF take almost two weeks or one month in terms of release of the hard copy of the AIE. We request and recommend that we have these AIEs issued electronically ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: audit queries. Through our deliberations, there is also this definition of the word “emergency” that it is a sudden, serious, unexpected event or situation requiring immediate action. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Some of these issues like transferring bursary as emergency are raising a lot of audit queries. It is a concern that some of the fund managers need some training to know exactly what is approved for emergency and what is not approved. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I look at the fund managers and what they have been doing, I realise that, many times, they are not able to release the required financial statements on time. That is even after being given adequate time by the audit department to prepare. We realise they do not release the documents when the ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The recommendation that the Fund Account Managers be trained or the NG-CDF, in collaboration with the Public Sector Accounting Standards Board need to conduct some continuous capacity building of their staff is welcome. That is the Fund Account Managers and the staff at the constituency so that some of those frameworks are adhered to. That way, the NG- CDF finances will be utilised properly. view
• 18 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Report and congratulate the Chair together with his team. Thank you. view
• 16 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I think as a Member said, building surveyors have some good money. The Bill is talking about not exceeding. So if we go to Kshs 1,000,000, that will be much better and it will be for a judge or whoever to see whether to go to Kshs 200,000 for those without money or to go to Kshs 1,000,000 for those with money. view
