• 3 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to join my colleagues in congratulating the President for the wonderful Speech that he delivered to this House. I want to agree that this is a democratic nation, as displayed by His Excellency the President. He gave us his brief and detailed the issues that have been addressed in the past one year. He did not stop at that. He has also mandated his Cabinet Secretaries to give detailed reports of what is happening in their respective Ministries. We have all listened to the Cabinet Secretaries explaining what they have done in their ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Being a Member of this Committee, I want to say on the outset that as a general observation of the report, accounting officers have been questioned for not being responsive to management letters, which are given to them in time. As a result of that, we are getting these issues, which have been raised by several of us on the pending bills, which are really enormous in most Ministries. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, in this Report, is leading with a whopping over Kshs.10.1 billion ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: move very fast, and after going through, table them in the House. We have instructed the accounting officers to be alive to that fact. The issues that are now facing the counties are as a result of us not adhering to Article 203(2)(3) of the Constitution. This is about sharing of revenue between the two levels of government, that is the national Government and the county governments; this sharing is to be based on audited revenues collected by the national Government. These revenues must be approved by this House. If you look at the reports we are discussing, the 2008/2009 ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Look at maintenance of accounting records; they were also queried by the auditors as they are poor and inadequate. Their cashbooks are un-reconciled and there are so many outstanding items in bank reconciliations that could be cleared. But I am happy that using the EFT system that is now in place, several of these outstanding items will be cleared upfront. Hon. Speaker, I stated that Article 203 requires us to share revenue that has been received by the national Government between the two levels of Government. For sure, if these reports are not updated, we will be complaining of the ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also want to join my colleagues in congratulating the people who have been nominated for appointment to serve in PSC. Having listened to them, I have realized that Dr. Ali and Mrs. Mumelo have a lot of expertise in terms of management and that is what we require in PSC. They will inject new blood in the Commission. I want to urge the Commission that having servants of Members working without salaries for several months--- For sure, they are really suffering. The employees who ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I have seen the budget proposals from the PSC being slashed all the time by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I think that has contributed to the issue of--- view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to talk on this Bill. I want to thank hon. Sakaja for bringing this Bill to this House. Awarding 30 per cent of the tenders to the youth is a worthy initiative from the Jubilee Government. You can see the unemployment rate in this country. Over 70 per cent of the youth are unemployed and engaging them in business at an early stage is a worthwhile venture. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have read a book called The Fourth view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: People think that those who are employed are well endowed or are better off but the reality is that those who are doing business and investments are doing so much. So, it is a worthwhile venture that we are bringing the youth into business at an early stage so that they can start investing. This is so that we can now talk of that double growth initiative in this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the challenges that we have are that we ought to empower this youth and empower them to enter into business. This means that they must have ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving this opportunity to contribute to this Procedural Motion. This Motion is good. We want to allow the Mover of the Report 60 minutes. This is because we require quality reports that are well researched, detailed and, probably, very accurate. You understand that, as a result of the current Constitution, Ministers do not appear in this House. Therefore, we expect reports generated by Committees to be very accurate so that we can discuss them. We need to speak to those reports. I would like to urge hon. Members that when they get time, they should ... view
