Asante sana mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda kwa kunipatia fursa hii. Moyo wangu ulikuwa unadundadunda kwa sababu nilikuwa nimetafuta Kiswahili chote na nilikuwa naona muda unaisha kabla sijatumia Kiswahili hicho. Ninatoa shukrani kwa mhe. (Bi.) Lay kwa kuileta Hoja hii ambayo inatupatia nafasi ya kuzungumza kwa Kiswahili. Wabunge ambao wanatuongoza katika lugha hii ni mhe. (Bi.) Khamisi na mhe (Dkt) Shaban lakini leo mhe (Bi.) Lay ametuweka katika nafasi ya sisi pia kutumia Kiswahili. Nataka iende katika kumbukumbu za Bunge hili kwamba mimi nilipata alama ‘A’ katika somo la Kiswahili katika mtihani wa kidato cha nne (KCSE). Kiswahili cha kuandika ...

If it is a matter of assigning auditors to conduct external audit every so often, then the presence in a particular county does not necessarily change the fact. What my brother, hon. Gumbo, wanted was to ensure that the audit needs at the county level are met. There is big need for auditing services in the counties. When you have presence in an area, even people who have information will want to reach you, so that ...

Hon. Chairlady, first of all, I want to thank hon. Wanjiku Muhia for bringing this Bill. To deal with the issue of implementation, I want to propose that since public institutions are appropriated money by this Parliament, the Mover could move a further amendment to only cover public institutions. We appropriate money for public institutions and we know that people with disabilities have a right to receive services. While we cannot control so much what private institutions do given the fact that they have to deal with their own books and see if they have profit or not and if ...

Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I would like to say that I support this Report. I want to thank members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, led by their Chairman. This is, probably, one of the most hardworking committees of this Parliament.

They do a lot of work. When you look at the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and even the Estimates, there is truly a lot of commitment required to ensure that this House has reports in good time, and has the quality of reports that we receive. I do not belong to the Budget and Appropriations Committee but it is good to look at the other side and be thankful for the work that our colleagues are doing. On the matter of public hearings, we were privileged in the last financial year to have public hearings in Homa Bay, and it ...
