Ahsante, Mhe. Spika kwa kunipatia nafasi hii nitoe risala za rambirambi kwa jamaa na marafiki wa rafiki yangu Mhe. Waititu. Wingu la simanzi limetanda katika taifa letu na kule Juja kwa sababu tumempoteza Mbunge na pia rafiki yetu. Nilijuana na Mhe. Waititu mwaka wa 2013 tulipokuwa tunafanya kampeni. Wetu ulikuwa ni urafiki wa mara ya kwanza kwa sababu yeye ni mcheshi na mpenda watu. Kama walivyosema Wabunge wenzangu, jina ‘Wakapee’ linatokana na ule moyo wake wakupeana. Tulipokuwa na yeye hapa Bunge, mara nyingi, tulipokuwa tunakunywa naye chai, hakuwa anapatia mtu nafasi ya kulipa. Pili, kinyume na Wabunge wengi ambao hawaishi ...

ukigundulia mapema, unaweza kutibiwa. Kwa hivyo, hili ni jukumu tunalopeleka kwa serikali za kaunti kuhakikisha kuwa wako na vituo mbadala vya kuangazia ugonjwa huu. Kwa hayo machache, ningependa kutoa mkono wa buriani kwa familia ya rafiki yangu mwendazake Wakapee. Ahsante Mhe. Spika.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to give a Statement in regard to many questions that I have been asked by Members of Parliament in regard to Article 223 of the Constitution.

The Budget and Appropriations Committee is in receipt of a brief from the National Treasury highlighting additional expenditure that has been incurred under Article 223 of the Constitution in the current financial year. As per this Article, the national Government is allowed to spend money that has not been appropriated, if the amount appropriated for any purpose under that Appropriation Act is insufficient, if a need has arisen from expenditure which no money has been appropriated or if the money has been withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ...

According to the brief that we got from the National Treasury on 15th October 2020, they have approved additional expenditure amounting to Ksh36.1 billion. It cuts across various agencies, notably monies for the Nairobi Metropolitan Services, support for free primary education, substantial support for the Kenya Airways, additional support for Kazi Mtaani, provisions for desert locusts, security operations among others.

The Committee observes that the submission of this brief is significant in the improvement of the Supplementary budget process as it is in compliance with the Committee’s request that such information be presented early enough for approval by Parliament. Nevertheless, it is observed that for the two approvals, the submissions were done beyond the two months as it is required; namely, the provision for the Nairobi Commuter Railway and the Kenya Airways grant.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Committee is concerned that some of these expenditures incurred under Article 223 are not emergencies or unforeseen in nature, and therefore undermine the spirit of the Supplementary Budget process. Ideally, and according to Section 4 (a) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFM) Regulations 2015, unforeseeable and unavoidable expenditures do not include expenditures that, although known when finalising the estimates of the original Budget, could not be allocated within the allocations. Indeed, any expenditure that can be deferred to the following financial year, should not be presented in the Supplementary Budget.
