• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I note that the Budget Policy Statement is a document that is supposed to be submitted to this House pursuant to Section 25(2) of the Public Finance Management Act. On page 5 of the Report, the Committee has highlighted the contents of the Budget Policy Statement. I also note that the Committee has concerns on the legal compliance of the Budget Policy Statement, given the manner in which the views of the public and the interest groups were incorporated in the document. On the issue of public participation, I also note that the Committee has highlighted ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: the same fate. I have been in this House for nearly two years now. Even though Article 228 of the Constitution requires that this House deals with reports from the Controller of Budget on the implementation of the Budget, this is the first time I have heard communication from the Speaker about Half-year Report on implementation of the National Budget emanating from the Controller of Budget. This is gross oversight of our role, as the National Assembly. This is a matter we have raised time and again in the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. A lot of money is ... view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Even if we receive it, this House does not address itself to the Report. There was a time I wrote to the Clerk asking for the Controller of Budget Report and when it would be discussed by departmental committees.

• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: It is not an individual effort. That Report should be channeled to the departmental committees for each committee to go through for each and every sector. That is the only way it will be effective. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Iwant to talk about the three areas that I oversight directly as a member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and a member of the Departmental Committee on Lands. I agree with the Budget and Appropriations Committee for allocating a further Kshs 4.2 billion to the National Lands Commission (NLC) and a further Kshs 1.2 billion to the Ministry of Lands to purchase survey equipment to enable rapid development of settlement schemes in Kenya. I however differ completely with the Budget and Appropriations Committee for not engaging us more on their decisions to scrap all proposed increments ... view

• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support the amendment by Prof. Nyikal. If this amendment is carried into the Motion, I will not have a problem with this Motion as it is. My problem with the ranking system as it has been is that, it limits education to only one thing called passing examinations. If we tracked the top ranked pupils and see how they perform in secondary schools, it is not consistent. That makes the ranking system poor. If we carry the amendment by Prof. Nyikal, we will develop something that can enable us rank ... view
