• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise on a motion of privilege. There is some noise behind us and it is like a gas leakage. Could you, through your office, establish exactly what is going on for the safety of the Members? I thank you. view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My brother has brought up a very serious issue that I am not aware of and not everybody was aware of. He has indicated that he has been waiting to see it, but he has not seen the Motion. Hon. Speaker, we have a lot of confidence in you. I wish, then, he could proceed to name the people, so that we also deal with it. Otherwise, if he speaks the way he has spoken and he does not name the people, then we shall be disenfranchised to deal with the matter seriously. view

• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I want to indicate that I support the Report of PAC on the examination of the Report of the Auditor-General on the financial statements of the national Government for the Financial Year 2017/2018. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The positives of this Report are glaring, as moved very well by the Chairman, whom I want to congratulate for being very clear. This Report will go a long way to make the revenue that has been collected to be released which is good for this country. Furthermore, it will also ensure that more revenue is released to the counties. Remember that we are speaking during the time that counties are in dire need of resources. In the temporary absence of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which we wanted to enable the process to happen, this will also go a ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Let me highlight something quickly. The Seconder of this Motion, senior Hon. Eseli, indicated that the interest of the Report of the PAC is waning. I took this very seriously. This is the kind of Report that gives stock of what the Government does and whether it spends the revenues that are collected from the taxpayers properly or not. What Hon. Eseli spoke about is very important. Institutions must be strengthened to oversee the Government strongly. That will bring confidence in the public, institutions and even in the National Assembly when speaking on such reports. Reports of the PAC of ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Another thing that kills this clamour is when we reduce ourselves to speaking or taking stock that is very sure that nothing will be done, after all. The Executive will go ahead and still do 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
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: the same things which will be brought to us. We will still pass them as they are. We cannot question them with the authority they deserve. I remember the days when I was not in the House when such reports were tabled and the entire House would be full. Emotions were high. The heat was generated. I loved it. Those are the moments I miss. Having said that, let me indicate that the Mover flagged out irregularities and illegalities in procurement and therefore made it clear that procurement is the main source of the troubles we have in terms of ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: There is another area I want to emphasise on, and Hon. Duale seems to have seen. Recently, I was in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. Believe me, the construction works of Mitihani House were started way back in 1986. It has been constructed all along until recently we gave them more money. Government officers have perfected the art of working with the courts and contractors together with officials within the same Government Ministries to enhance more budgetary allocations to an institution like Mitihani House. For more than 30 years, the Government has been constructing a building that is ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, let me speak on what has been called “pending bills” that have been created by the Government itself. The Government, through Supplementary Budgets, allocates money to tease certain areas with them, after which planning is done and tenders are awarded to people. However, after a little while, through Supplementary Budget, the money is removed and re-allocated elsewhere. The money is, again, used to tease another area. Procurement is done. Business people tender and before long another Budget is done. So, the same money is moved just to tease people in various areas. Procurement is done and businessmen put their ... view
