• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: you will find someone with an imprest given another imprest. A case of multiple imprests. The last case we had was Mombasa County Assembly where one individual had more than Kshs1 million outstanding imprest and multiple imprests. In some cases, those individuals are Members of County Assembly (MCAs). You will find the county assembly staff reluctant or scared to follow them up. You will end up with somebody keeping an imprest for a year and still getting more imprest. There are many areas where we need to follow up and make sure that the law is followed. As a result, ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: It is upon the counties to value and record that. However, none of them has done that valuation. It is an outstanding issue. Counties stand the risk of losing their assets to individuals because they have not been secured. (6) Irregular use of receipts as source without a fund. This is a case where counties have been collecting funds but they do not sweep it to the CRF or create a fund. For example, when health institutions generate funds, they are supposed to have a fund to deposit their money and use it in that institution but it should be ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, I wish to register my appreciation to the Office of the Speaker, the Clerk of the Senate and Office of the Auditor-General for facilitating the work of the Committee and thus making the production of these reports possible. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: The Committee also appreciates the members of the secretariat and liaison officers from the Office of the Auditor-General, the National Treasury and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for their commitment and dedication to duty. They have always been present to engage and guide the Committee. The National Treasury has always had an officer with us especially when issues are raised about late disbursement of funds and circulars, which are given by National Treasury which result in misrepresentation of audit reports. They are always ready to give us guidance on how the audit should be executed. In case of EACC, whenever ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Final appreciation goes to the distinguished and dedicated members of the Committee who created time out of their busy schedule to attend an actively processing and final production of these Reports. Madam Temporary Speaker, on behalf of the Sessional Committee on Public Accounts and Investment (CPAIC) I now urge the Senate to adopt the Reports and recommendations therein. Noting that we are at the end of the session it will be my prayer that this Report be adopted because last week we adopted the previous one. If these ones are adopted, then we do not need to cross over with ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply to this Motion. I thank the Senators who contributed to this Motion starting with the Seconder, Sen. Cherargei and the other two Senators, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. Faki. I would like to highlight a few issues, which have also been in our report, some of which the Members have brought out, and those that I hope will be taken into account when this report has been adopted and submitted to the relevant government authorities. The first one is the issue of pending bills, which came out in this report. It is difficult ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: this was what was sent to the Controller of Budget to approve and it was itemized but the payment was for other projects. This means that there are still loopholes somewhere. We have to make sure that what is approved for payment by the Controller of Budget is what should be released from CRF and what should be paid on the ground. These pending bills come only if once they receive the money, the governors decide to pay for other works or other activities other than the ones they have given requisition for which it is not right. The other ... view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to thank Sen. Madzayo, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader, for presenting the Senate business for the next sittings. view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: This Sixth Session is the shortest session, yet we have a lot of business pending. I urge Senators wherever they may be to take the business of the House seriously because we have 17 Bills at Second Reading and 11 Bills at the Committee of the Whole stage. More importantly, there are the Petitions and Statements, which we have not dispensed with. Our Standing Orders are very clear on the Petitions, which should be replied to within 60 days. This is an area we have not been doing well. Hardly has any committee submitted its Petition report on time. Some ... view
• 7 Apr 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
