• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I wish to associate myself with the sentiments of the Members who have spoken in supporting this Motion and Report by the Committee, with all the amendments that have been passed. I have the benefit of knowing Drive Inn Primary School and Ruaraka High School. That is before Kasarani Constituency was split and gave birth to Kasarani, Roysambu and Ruaraka constituencies. They were one constituency. I wish to state that for as long as I have known Ruaraka High School and Drive Inn Primary School, they have been polling centres from olden times; from 1984. These two schools have existed ... view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Committee of Parliament or another. It behooves this House to take responsibility for corruption. It is time Hon. Members performed their duty of oversight on departments of Government falling under them. This is the only way we are going to fight corruption in this country. We cannot say that these companies that have been paid this money are faceless. Money does not leave the National Treasury and go to the grave. It goes to somebody’s account. We have the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation. We should know in whose account this money went. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The essence of this new provision is to open up space for private surveyors and valuers to participate in the Big Four Agenda in terms of housing. You realise that in this housing component, many people will be involved through public private partnerships (PPPs) and investors from outside. Limiting the 500,000 houses to only 44 Government valuers and you know how bureaucratic our system is, means that it is going to be very slow. So, we are simply saying that if we have private auditors working for the Government, we should also have private ... view

It is intended to recognise county governments as distinct contracting authorities for public private projects and ... view
• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: In the process of coming up with the Bill, we invited comments by placing adverts in the newspapers. Three critical stakeholders appeared before us in our meetings in Mombasa. They included the Council of Governors, the Institute for Social Accountability (TISA) and the National Treasury who made their memoranda and made presentations to us which we discussed and agreed together. The Public Private Partnership Act of 2013 required a further review, and that is why we are working on these amendments. Among the issues the stakeholders wanted to discuss were, public participation, access to information and disclosure of requirements for ... view

• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: This amendment Bill provides the legal framework for governments to engage each other; county to county, national Government to county government, county government to bilateral donors or such other parties to work together to create products and services for our people. There are many areas that the county governments can work within the PPP, for example, energy, agriculture development, garbage collection, development of sport facilities, such as athletic stadiums, tree planting and afforestation and environment. It is true that there are many entities out there who would wish to partner with our county governments to develop markets, housing projects, bus ... view

• 17 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: which has also followed that style of public private partnerships. I want to assure Members that the views and the memoranda presented to our committee have been taken into consideration and at a later stage, in response to those memoranda, we will be making relevant amendments so that this law can be in line and develop the county government to work with other enterprises. Government entities and private entities develop, produce and deliver services to the public. view
