• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Overuse of Article 223 of the Constitution, does not only undermine the credibility of the budget process but also the role of Parliament in the budget- making process. This House is aware of the efforts we put in processing the Budget and to have all this effort undone through the Supplementary Budget process undercuts the role of Parliament. view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the revenue performance is below target as reported in the Quarterly Economic Budget Review that was read in this House a few days ago. This means that the expenditure approvals will have to be met from either additional borrowing or expenditure cut. The National Treasury indicates that they are reviewing the performance of all Ministries and will be making proposals through the Supplementary Estimates. Given the amount of expenditure incurred and that these expenditures affect a number of Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDAs) the Committee would like to table this schedule to this House and recommend that it ... view

• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I rise to give a status report on the legislative proposals referred to the Budget and Appropriation Committee (BAC). Hon. Speaker, I am happy that you have given a ruling. It is as if we read your mind. We had prepared a report from BAC. It will be brief because we have had quite a number of legislative proposals coming to the Committee and Members were sometimes complaining that BAC is the deathbed for legislative proposals. However, I am happy that we have processed quite a number of them. Hon. Speaker, Article 114 of the Constitution ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: proposal affects the current and future budgets and may include implications on tax measures. It considers the views of the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and holds discussions with the Member sponsoring the proposal before making a decision. Hon. Speaker, at times, the Committee defers making its decision awaiting to receive comments from the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury while, on other occasions, the Members sponsoring the legislative proposals are not available. Hon. Speaker, in this regard, since the commencement of the 12th Parliament, the Budget and Appropriations Committee has processed 142 legislative proposals of which 117 were processed from January, 2018 ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to inform the House that when a legislative proposal is referred to Budget and Appropriations Committee and it has financial implications, we must make decisions as to whether it should proceed and how it should be financed. Already, the macro framework was decided in this House for the next three years and thus, the overall resource envelope is restricted. Thus, some legislative proposals must be rejected on account of lack of resources. After all, the Legislature does not legislate in vain and if the legislative proposal requires billions of shillings, then that proposal must wait ... view

The proposed total allocation going to county governments, therefore, for the current 2020/2021 Financial Year, stands at Kshs369.87 billion.
