• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker at this stage, I have some short quick comments to make on this Bill. This is because the Bill was extensively debated during the Second Reading. From some of the contributions, I realised that probably, we need to understand the import of this Bill properly. This Bill seeks to provide a credit guarantee scheme and the borrowing will be through financial institutions. So, let us not leave this place and start telling our constituents who own enterprises that the Government is now going to give them loans. The Government is setting up a fund to guarantee ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support this Petition. I remember before we went on recess, I actually raised a matter that the Committee in charge of matters education to inquire and report to this House on the funds that we allocated in 2019/2020 Financial Year up to 30th June, with specific attention given to that period that the schools were closed. I cannot remember that we reallocated those funds in the various supplementary budgets that we have. If that is the case, I expect the Committee to report to us how the Ministry has utilised those funds or why the Ministry cannot ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. While I appreciate the value of virtual meetings – and the few that I have participated in are equally very important and they serve the purpose – I think the matter that Hon. Opiyo Wandayi has raised is very critical. The mandate of this PAC and also by extension the Public Investments Committee (PIC) is to examine books of accounts and the reports of the Auditor-General. It is not practical to examine books of accounts virtually. You really need the tabling of those documents. There is need to cross-reference. You need to have the ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, a programme can be worked out to allow these two committees to meet physically so that the oversight function of the National Assembly is not compromised by COVID- 19. I just wanted to support the sentiments of Hon. Opiyo Wandayi. Finally, also as we progress, we are praying hard that the effects of COVID-19 come down. The Budget and Appropriations Committee will be considering Budget Estimates and it will not be practical to discuss them virtually. We hope to have a supplementary budget before we reach that point. Probably, we will have relaxed some of the rules when Kenyans ... view
