• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The issues raised in the Report were as a result of a sudden increase in the budgetary allocation to the Commission. In the 2010/2011 Financial Year, the Judiciary had a budget of Kshs3 billion. In 2012/2013, the budget increased five-fold to Kshs16 billion. Parliament’s desire was good. We wanted to have an efficient and fair administration of justice by the Judiciary. As a result, the JSC and the CRJ went on a spending spree. We realized that there was financial mismanagement and irregular procurement procedures by the JSC and the CRJ. The issues of irregular imprests, irregular allowances and advanced ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There is the issue of Rahimtulla Tower, where there were no lease agreements. They were not duly executed and registered. The lease payments were made from deposit account as the Chair has stated, yet the amount that was in question was the voted provisions that were passed by this House. They went to the deposit account and made irregular payments. They have acknowledged those payments and said that they have refunded the money. That was an irregularity that the Committee noticed. view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There was also the down payment of rent; six months down the line, yet the premises were not fully occupied. There was the lease of Elgon Place where Kshs70,147,605 was paid. That premise was meant to be occupied by the Court of Appeal, but it was not fully occupied. Those are issues that were raised by the Committee. We visited the AFC premises countrywide and found that most of the premises were not occupied with the exception of Kakamega and Meru, which were partially occupied and yet, payments had already been made. view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The Mayfair Court Centre, which was meant to house the Commissioners, was also another irregularity where Kshs7.3 million was paid up-front two years down the line before even the occupation of the premise. Funny enough, the Commissioners were even allowed to design their own bathrooms in those premises. On the issue of the purchase of the official residence for the Chief Justice, initially, the house was supposed to be fully furnished. The initial figure was supposed to be around Kshs425 million which was renegotiated to Kshs310 million and upon acquisition, they decided not to furnish the house. An extra amount ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: houses would have been very costly and so they ended up opting for prefabricated houses. But apparently, by the time we made the visit, all these structures had not been completed and they were not in use. That was the case and yet millions of shillings had been spent. In fact, the Auditor’s Report indicates that over Kshs626, 535, 974 has been paid. He questioned the cost because we made a comparison. I visited the Runyenjes Court House personally which is just next to the district headquarters. While the district headquarters cost about Kshs29 or 30 million, the Runyenjes Court ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I was winding up, Hon. Speaker. The JKUATES has really taken a lot of money from the Government, purporting to be a government to government body. When we did our investigation we found another company called “Align Architects” taking 95 per cent of the proceeds, while 5 per cent went to the Government body, which was the JKUATES. Therefore, we want this body to be investigated because it seems some lecturers are privately making money out of this in the name of the Government. Our recommendations should be implemented although most Members have contested them. We will listen to their ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also a victim of this. We have been sitting here. I have been pressing the intervention button. Every other time it comes on and off and so we are taken back. I will request that you allow us to participate in this. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: It switches off. So, you wonder what is happening. I think we are in area where it has been having a lot of problem view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: We are still seated here. I am seated here waiting to contribute to this. view
