• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: National revenue is all national revenue whether spent at the national or county level. Therefore, the National Assembly has a responsibility to oversee national revenue whether spent at the national Government or at county government level. The Senate only overlaps with us at the county governments. What am I saying hon. Speaker? What I am saying is that this House has a responsibility to oversee the expenditure of both the national Government and the county governments. I have looked at the PFM Act and I wanted to bring an amendment at one time. I wanted the PFM Act to make ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Your guidance has been sought on this and I am sure this House has a responsibility to oversee and debate this Report. Where I disagree with hon. Duale and hon. Abdikadir is on which committee is responsible. My understanding is that the Controller of Budget is answerable to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and not the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Even the vetting of the Controller of Budget was done by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Auditor-General (AG) is answerable to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade but when it comes to the Controller ... view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, we even raised these concerns about why the Executive is not able to ensure that the absorption of Development Expenditure is as per what this country would want to see. By the end of the financial year, the development part of the Budget is only absorbed to 20 or 30 per cent, yet the current expenditure is either 100 per cent or more. This is because we are not debating this kind of report. If we were debating this report and making clear recommendations to the Executive when the year is still progressing, then we would make very good ... view

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to thank my colleague in the profession; CPA, hon. Kigo Njenga, for allocating me two minutes to contribute to this Motion. My only concern is the fact that the various Government institutions that are tasked with the responsibility of implementing the laws that are already enacted in this country are so relaxed. They do not even enforce the very obvious laws like the disposal of such items. I challenge the county assemblies to come up with more strict laws and regulations on disposal of waste in our various cities and counties, so ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to echo what hon. Chris Wamalwa has said with regard to the funding of NACADA. The NACADA is struggling in terms of getting enough resources to discharge its mandate which cuts across the country. I agree with hon. Chris that this problem is not just in Central Kenya, although it is more pronounced there, but even in other areas, many children drop out of school because of alcohol abuse. view
