• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I have heard many of my colleagues speaking and one of the things that is very clear and is coming from everyone is that there is a lot of uncertainty on issues of expenditure or spending of money. For sure, many have talked of pending bills. I was wondering because every year, we have been doing budgetary allocations. Parliament accepts requests from ministries, we approve them and allocate money. However, every year, we hear of issues of pending bills and wonder what happens along the way. The fact remains that the work of the ministry is normally dynamic, but there ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Unsupported expenditure is the other thing that is worrying the Auditor-General so much. Many of the reports which come to this House show that money has been spent, but nothing is supporting that claim. This is a fact in every ministry. I heard my colleague say that when we give out bursaries, we do not get back receipts that will make the Auditor-General confirm that we paid money to certain institutions especially schools. Some of these things are the ones which make the Auditor-General uncomfortable because most of the expenditure in this country The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: is not supported. Some procedures, rules and regulations should be put in place so that every money that is spent is supported. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I also want to speak about imprest. When I came to Parliament, I found a very different way of surrendering imprest. We are not doing things as we should with the current technology. Where I worked before, we used to surrender imprest online through a software such that nobody would get imprest twice. You had to apply online and when you needed another imprest, if you had not surrendered even one shilling, the system would decline and you would not be in the list of those who were going to receive the next imprest. As a country, we need to ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I am worried because since I came here, I have learnt a few things. It is unfortunate that we are institutionalising corruption particularly in the ministries. I can critique the requests that come from ministries. When a ministry or an agency brings its budget to a committee, the committee should look at it deeply and know whether the money they are asking for is what is going to work for Kenyans or some people are budgeting for other things that are not important. I have also learnt that people do skewed budgeting in order to do business other than change ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that the Government is complaining against itself. Corruption in this country is mostly at the ministry level. The Auditor-General always points out things that are not working well in ministries. The Office of the Auditor-General is mandated to audit all Government institutions. It is as if the Government is complaining against the Government. It is a shame. We need to change and refrain from this behavior. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The EACC is mandated to investigate. So far, we have only seen the DPP doing his work. Many have been apprehended. The game should not stop there. The Judiciary should give us a way forward. The cases should bring about some deterrence. If we do not win the war against corruption, it will attract more players. We want to see things happening. How come people get arrested, but they are not convicted? Where is our stolen money? What, in terms of compensation or reparations, has our Government been granted? What properties have been repossessed? So, if fighting corruption is all ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is important that all the arms of the Government work in tandem to bring sanity in our ministries and institutions, so that in future, we do not have the EACC or the DPP as a laughing stock. People must fear stealing from the Government through the prosecution and conviction of those who have stolen from the Government. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that reports that emanate from the various institutions in this country make great narratives and statistics. Unfortunately, they do not see the light of day in terms of implementation. We should work towards implementing the reports that we make. Much as they are good, implementation is critical. Thank you. view
