• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, part (5) says that in discussing and reviewing the Estimates, the Committee shall seek representations from the public. You already have something on the table. This is my suggestion and we are going to be making amendments. Hon. Members, let me plead with you to think about your people. We shall add this Kshs3 billion to the Kshs2 billion to go to the CDF to be divided according to the CDF formula. That is the only thing that will make sense. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Mbadi confided in me that he wants to make his road using the Kshs60 million. Who will make your roads? Who will make my roads in Gem? This Committee will be so criminal as to talk about issues of allocating money and participating in the Budget process. It just says “in discussing and reviewing”. It does not say that you take money and give to yourself. That is not what the law says. Now that you have given us Kshs3 billion, we shall be in a minute moving an amendment to make sure that, that money is added to ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: We know when something is wrong. When it smells like a rat it cannot be a goat, it is a rat. This is chicken or mbuta. They attempted to do it last year but the Office of the Clerk stopped them. We cannot sit here, take away the role of the Executive and give it to selfish Members of Parliament. We will not. Article 221 says that the Estimates are submitted by the Cabinet Secretary not by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have time. I have very many things to say. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Committee proposes to give additional Kshs1.75 billion to Level 5 Hospitals. I want to congratulate them but this House has a duty to respond to rampant and wanton corruption taking place in our counties. At our hospital in Siaya, nothing is working. Rats are even eating corpses. We have given this money with a blanket. What we need and what we are going to do is putting in the Budget, when the Appropriation Bill comes here, a condition. We will not let these greedy Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee have their way, even if ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we will not let them have their way. These people are trying to wrong the people of Kenya. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I withdraw and apologise for the statement about Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee being greedy and say that they are hungry for money and graft-thirsty. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Sorry, hon. Speaker. I wanted to raise a point of order. When you spoke about the Senate’s wishes that we should incorporate the current budget policy--- I guess we are now complying with the court ruling. Since we are talking about the Budget, there is an issue which I thought at that point I should arrest because it has to do with the Budget; now that we are talking about the policy, we are about to talk of the “meat” in the Budget in the next few months. This is an issue that came up to the attention of Members ... view
• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: That is with a light touch. In the last Budget there was an attempt by the Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to do something which Members of this House thought was very illegal. They allocated special budgets to their constituencies. I wonder how that would have been different from our normal view about rent-seeking. However, we wanted you to give guidance now that we are going to discuss the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), and we will be talking about the Budget; it is necessary for you to rule over this issue where a few Members of this House ... view
