• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I start by mentioning that I was a Member of the PIC in the 10th Parliament and we had a lot of issues with State corporations in terms of prudent financial management. I am happy that a number of issues have been highlighted and more particularly PIC has focused on the major State corporations like the NSSF, the NHIF, KPC, Kenya Pipeline among others. I want to just urge PIC to continue working hard to update their reports so that all the parastatals are covered, even the small ones. Looking at the reports, I have just noticed that from the ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: caught national attention at the moment and I expect the PIC to zero in on that State corporation to find out if we are losing money or not or whether these are mere allegations. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I want to speak about the Kenya Pipeline Company. Many staff who work in that parastatal have approached some of us with some disturbing information. Members will agree with me that it has been in the news for some time. I can see the Vice-Chair of the PIC, Hon. Ibrahim, is here. I ask the PIC and the Leader of the Minority Party to look carefully at this parastatal. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The information coming through is disturbing. We need to find out who between the management and the chairman of the board is telling this country the truth. Mr. Ngumi has been summoned to appear before the DCI to record statements on his role on the procurement of the Kisumu Oil Jetty. That is a matter that probably the chairman is trying to divert attention from by bringing up other issues. Those reports are mostly appearing in one local daily and covered by one specific journalist. It is clear to me that, that journalist is being used by somebody and the ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Creating perception at the moment through media coverage yet we know quite well that there are so many audit queries facing the same chairman, more particularly, is wanting. The information I have, which is given by those who are working in the parastatal is that the chairman, through the board, on this Kisumu Oil Jetty contract, insisted on the implementation of that contract even when it was clearly apparent that the Ugandan side was not ready. The information is that the chair was using what he calls presidential directive to implement the project. That matter has become an issue. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I can see the Chair has walked in. There are some board members and chairs of boards of parastatals and some CEOs who in the past have even looted State corporations disguising it as fundraising for political parties’ campaigns. I think the PIC ought to look at the KPC properly. Let us see who between the management, the board chairman and the board in its entirety is involved in corruption and in mismanagement of resources. When you see two groups fighting in the same organisation, it is certainly not for the benefit of Kenyans. This is basically people fighting for ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Kenyans know that KPC is a very important and key parastatal. We cannot just allow it to be mismanaged or run down by a few individuals. Some claiming to be helping Kenyans yet they are the same ones who are serving their own personal interests. The Senate was looking at this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: matter and they invited the chairman and management of the KPC. The kind of exchanges we saw on television was not what you would expect from a serious State corporation. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, I want to congratulate the Auditor-General’s Office because it has managed to speed-up auditing of not only Government ministries and departments, but also State corporations. We need to say kudos to them. If you have been here for a while, you have realised that in the past, we had cases where accounts were even in arrears for 10 years without the Auditor-General attending to them. At least now it is Parliament that has the load of ensuring that we are up to-date. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I have been looking at the Report and the Auditor-General’s queries and I think this office needs to change tact a bit. There are some queries that need not find their way into our books at all. These are queries about reconciliations and later on we realise that the same organization… view
