• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Procedural Motion. The idea of the Motion is good because these Bills have a constitutional deadline. I beg to second. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I second. The Members have not been accused of corruption; rather they have been accused of breach of privilege. We have to make it very clear that those Members who had been mentioned and the print media went ahead to tarnish their names in their constituencies--- We are many Members here. We are not corrupt and there was no proof. So, the accusations were never proved. I wanted to make that very clear so that Kenyans know that even those Members who were removed from PAC are not being removed because of corruption. It is good for the ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we do not want improper motives to be imputed on some Members where corruption has not been proved. The Public Accounts Committee is one of the most powerful and the most privileged committees of this House. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. You can see the interest that is generated by this Report. The findings of the Powers and Privileges Committee were that they should not reconstitute the whole Committee and that confirms that PAC has been doing a good job. This Committee looks into accounts of public entities once the National Assembly appropriates the Budget. This is a Committee where the word “corruption” should never be heard of. It should be above board. It was a lesson that if you accuse your fellow Members of corruption, you have to prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. I thank ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Without dwelling on this straightforward matter, the newly reconstituted PAC will do a good job. Let us not delay reports. They have done well in the past and let us follow the same route of working out and working fast. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I second. Thank you. view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. I want to make it clear to the Members so that it is understood. We only did a cross transfer. If you move from a certain Committee to PAC, then you are replaced by a member from PAC. We agreed on that and that is why there should not be complaints. In the case of hon. Cecily Mbarire, when she moved out, she exchanged with the person who was in that other Committee, who is the one who came to PAC. It was likewise in CORD. Those Members who are moving to PAC have ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. I support the Motion by the Budget and Appropriations Committee and I oppose the amendments by the Senate in that the Budget process was done fairly well. If these amendments are meant to benefit the county governments, they should have come at an earlier stage; now the Senate wants to put us in a very awkward situation.

• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: First, where will we get the money to fund this Kshs7 billion from? Secondly, I want to urge the Senate to talk to the county governments to avoid wastage, to collect taxes and to try to operate with the budgets that they have. Devolution was meant to take resources to the people, but in many county governments, we find that they have not delivered services to the members of the public as required. We do not want a situation where every time there is an issue on a money Bill, it goes for arbitration. We do not want all the ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: As my colleague said, the National Assembly has the mandate to plan and prepare the national Budget. Even the county governments budgets are not a preserve of the Senate. It should be very clearly understood. I urge this House to reject those amendments, because through my own calculations, it is not even Kshs7 billion. It is coming to Kshs8 billion, and every county government will get Kshs160 million. As we know, Section 110 of the Public Finance Management Act (PFM) Act provides for how to deal with county governments, and they are allowed to spend 2 per cent of their ... view
