The Chairman of the Committee has talked about telecommunication infrastructure. We have realised that telecommunication infrastructure is not adequate, especially in some counties. This has called for the need to ensure that the telecommunication infrastructure is standardised in a way that all the MNOs can share or access that data. If all this is availed, then MNOs are going to share the data as they carry out their services. The critical information infrastructure is a need that must be addressed. When we look at the Nairobi City County and how the MNOs are accessing the buildings - every MNO wants ...

Regarding mobile money services and the rates involved, we request the CBK to regulate them, so that we can enjoy what other banks are giving to their customers. The rates that are charged by many MNOs are exorbitant. We established that from the submissions given by the various MNOs. With those remarks, I beg to second and thank the Committee for a job well done with regard to the enquiry into the dominance of MNOs. I thank you.

Hon. Speaker, examination of the reports of the Auditor-General for the NG-CDF for the 290 constituencies in Kenya is one of the mandates of the Committee as outlined in the National Assembly Standing Order No.205A. The Committee received a backlog of these reports which date back to 2013/2014 Financial Year which had not been examined by the 11th Parliament. Based on the fact that each of the 290 constituencies is audited independently, the Committee adopted a strategy of scrutinising financial statements of each constituency for 2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 Financial Years, concurrently. The Committee also resolved to examine reports of ...

transparency, effectiveness, efficiency, and prudent management of the NG-CDF. This will ultimately improve the lives of the constituents of Kisumu County and the country at large. The Committee made general recommendations arising from observations and findings that cut across the seven constituencies, some of which are contained in the First Report of the Committee on NG-CDF on Nairobi County, which was adopted by this House. The Committee observed that there was ineffective monitoring and evaluation of projects in the constituencies. This was due to lack of adequate allocation of resources to the Constituency Development Fund Oversight Committee to perform its ...

Hon. Speaker, the Committee further observed that some projects initiated which currently fall within the devolved functions, prior to enactment of the NG-CDF Act, 2015, remain incomplete to date. The Committee also noted that most NG-CDF Committees had not engaged the services of the Clerk of Works as provided for in the NG-CDF Board guidelines. In addition, fiscal verifications of projects by the Auditor-General revealed that the structural integrity of some buildings was questionable as stated in various audit queries. We also observed that many of the constituencies still rely on the Public Works Officer without employment of the Clerk ...
