• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: In paragraph (c), the National Assembly exercises oversight over national revenue and its expenditure. Standing Order 205(2) of the National Assembly is very clear in as far as the mandate of the PAC is concerned. That Standing Order provides that PAC shall be responsible for the examination of the accounts showing the appropriations of the sum voted by the House to meet public expenditure and of such other accounts laid before the House as the committee may think fit. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Pursuant to this Standing Order and the relevant provision of the Constitution, my Committee undertook the task of examining the accounts of IEBC for the 2016/2017 Financial Year. I must also point out that the reason this Report appears special is that in the year under review - the following financial year - is when the elections of 2017 were held. Therefore, the Auditor-General, in his wisdom in undertaking the audit of IEBC for FY 2016/2017, went beyond and got into the FY 2017/2018 because this Report covers up to and including the time of the repeat presidential election of ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: illustrate another aspect of wastage of public funds. If you look at the procurement of an item which was then referred to as ‘security seals’, you will find that IEBC procured 3.7 million of them in March, 2017 for use in the elections of August, 2017. It is interesting to note that even though IEBC procured 3.7 million security seals, the supplier was able to supply only 2 million seals. That means IEBC was supposed to have had a deficit of 1.7 million seals. When the elections were nearing, it became apparent that this supplier was unable to supply the ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: More importantly, the first supplier who failed to deliver 1.7 million seals went ahead to deliver these seals this time round after the elections and the IEBC went ahead and received them. As we speak, the 1.7 million seals that were delivered after the elections are lying somewhere in a warehouse of the IEBC in Nairobi. They have no idea what to do with them or how to treat those security seals. They are telling us that even though they have received them, they have not acknowledged - some very peculiar terminologies - and that they have not paid for ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We have recommended that this supplier who failed to supply the security seals on time and in full be blacklisted by the IEBC. The supplier is Ms. Far East Limited. My Committee worked very diligently and was basing its recommendations on the observations and findings. Where we found culpability, we said so without mincing words. If we look at the IEBC Act, Section 11(a), I am sure Hon. Kaluma will be interested in this, it states that for the effective performance of the functions of the Commission, the chairperson and members of the Commission shall perform their functions in accordance ... view

• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Integrated Electoral Management System (KIEMS). This resolution was supported by Mr. Wafula Chebukati, Mrs. Consolata Maina, Dr. Roselyn Akombe and Mrs. Margaret Mwachanya. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Min.15.1.5. There was dissent to this resolution by Prof. Abdi Guliye, Mr. Boya Molu and Dr. Paul Kurgat for the following reasons: (a) There is no value for tax payer’s money. (b) Ms. Safran Identity and Security did not have the technical capacity to deliver especially on results transmission. (c) Lack of market survey could not allow one to make an informed decision. (d) Not satisfied with the evaluation report by the Secretariat.” This is the meeting that gave the IEBC Secretariat the go ahead to procure the KIEMS from Safran Morpho. It is clear from these minutes that the ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was established that the Chairperson of the IEBC, Mr. Wafula Chebukati, despite being a founding partner of a specific law firm - even though by the time he was coming to the Commission as Chairperson, he had purportedly resigned from that law firm - did not make any effort to declare either to his fellow commissioners or the Secretariat of the IEBC that he had dealings with this law firm before he joined the IEBC. Therefore, the Commission went ahead - I am not saying under his direction, because there is no evidence to that ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if that is not conflict of interest then I do not understand what conflict of interest is under the Constitution and the relevant laws. view
