• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Ichung’wah is my very good friend. You should note that this Bill is coming back a second time. The purpose of the Bill is to reduce bottlenecks. If we are making any amendments to increase bottlenecks and yet we have a Committee that has representatives from the national Government and county governments where a project is submitted for determination of all these factors... If we say that a project has to go to the Attorney-General who single-handedly determines the county government’s dispute, then we will just get into further disputes. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I am constrained to ask Hon. Ichung’wah to reconsider this amendment, so that these proposals will go to the project committee which has representatives from the Council of Governors whom we have increased their numbers. It has the Principal Secretaries. They make a determination and the project proceeds. If we do not want to have PPPs, we will add these bottlenecks. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am constrained to oppose this amendment. view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: This is the issue of auditing of the project company. The project company is the private investor and the contracting authority which is a Government institution coming together and forming a project company for purposes of moving the project forward. So, what we are doing here is to have a balance. We had a big debate around this issue of auditing by the Auditor General for the project company. So, what we have said is, where we found a balance, that the Auditor General shall audit accounts of the project company where the counterpart funding for a project includes public ... view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: This is with regards to the issue of the annual report. Our worry was around financial reports that as part of the annual report, we should have financial reports of projects which have been completed and are being operated by a private party. What is being operated by the private party must be part of the annual report. If you are collecting money from the Expressway and are collecting tolls and you are a private company, those details will not be part of your private records. Those must be included as part of the annual report. The other important thing ... view
