• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I want to go to the Committee’s recommendations. After we got this Report, we held two meetings where extensive deliberations were done, but remembering that if we had to make any amendments to this CARA Bill, we know the threshold. So, we observed that there is a high level of pending bills at the county level as well as lack of transparency in reporting of the pending bills. In fact, more than half of the counties could not give us the right pending bills. The county governments also need to prioritise the pending bills as a first charge in the ... view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The county assemblies’ ceilings have been improved on account of personal emoluments and for settlement of outstanding pending bills. The county assembly salaries and wages have been rising over the past years due to the annual salary increment. The increment further has an effect on gratuity cost and hence smooth growth in county assembly ceilings. Our Committee had only one recommendation that this House does concur with the Senate on the Schedule hereby attached. I beg to move and request the Whip, Hon. Emanuel Wangwe, to second. Thank you. view

• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am just about to conclude. Thank you so much. There is a concern over the growing pension obligations which is attributed to many years of non-implementation of contributory pension plans. In the Financial Year 2021/2022, the financial obligations are estimated to be Kshs153.6 trillion. As I conclude, I want to highlight a few policy recommendations. The National Treasury should set up a fund that may be financed through a long-term bond for the payment of the existing verified pending bills and court awards. The funds should be in place by 1st October 2021. Specifically, there should ... view
