• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I agree with you because misleading the House is misleading the House whether it is a fact or not. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, the Chairman has a prerogative, but I am also entitled to my opinion and I will put it across. On the other one regarding hon. Gumbo, there is already a ruling in this House. Actually, hon. Gumbo should appreciate that when the Constitution allows the President to nominate, we can legislate on the process of nomination. So, there is nothing we are doing which is unconstitutional. We are just telling the President, yes, you can nominate but this is how to nominate. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, auditing of any entity is guided by auditing and accounting standards. There is the bare minimum standard. As hon. Makali said, we are over-legislating. You cannot put in every detail of what an auditor is supposed to do when he goes to an entity. Telling the auditor that he must examine the public procurement and asset disposal of a State organ or a public entity is not necessary. There is a body responsible for the oversight of the procurement and asset disposal processes of State organs or public entities. The work of the auditor is to ... view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have only one problem with this amendment that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee could help us understand. The addition of the Association of Professional Societies of East Africa is a good thing because we are adding professionals in the interviewing panel. However, the problem I have is that we are now making the panel to comprise of an even number of six instead of five. You see, when you have an interviewing panel at times there could be a tie in making decisions. It may look tidier if it was an odd number. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support all those amendments. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support the amendment by hon. Ochieng fully. This idea of telling us that it is the report that is supposed to be controlled--- Really, even that reporting is going to deny us the opportunity to know who have embezzled funds. This is the gist of the matter. The gist of the matter is that you can only legislate to cure a mischief. What is the mischief here? The Auditor-General has been auditing these confidential expenditures, but just because-- view

• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I really wanted to inform my former friend. Anyway, we still remain relatives. If you look at clause 11 that we just passed, actually, if a vacancy arises the timelines are set within which it should be filled. The timeline is very strict. The President has his days and the panel has 14 days. It is about a month or less. I strongly support that amendment because the timelines are already there. view
