• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: on. Therefore, I expect the Committee to have inquired and the report to the House should be from the Committee and not a letter from the Ministry. That is because we are not engaging you as part of the Executive. We are engaging you as a Chair of a Committee who has done some investigations and is now reporting to us. I have a problem. I do not know whether this Committee inquired into and is reporting on this matter. The other Committees should, in future, change the way they report to us. They should report to the House as ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also stand to support the Bill; the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. Yesterday we did pass the Supplementary Budget Estimates II in line with the requirements of Article 223 of the Constitution. I just want to say three things with regard to this Bill. One of the reasons why the second Supplementary Bill became necessary is because of the incapacity of the Government to absorb the budgets that we gave them; the resources that we vote and budget. This has been blamed a lot on procurement procedures. But I want to take a different line and say ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: You just mentioned the Kshs.570 billion? view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Actually, what we had passed yesterday, which should be captured in this Appropriation Bill, is that Kshs.300 billion is supposed to remain under Recurrent Expenditure and Kshs.270 billion is supposed to remain under Development Expenditure. I remember in the first Supplementary Budget, we took Kshs.570 from recurrent to development. So, we are reversing Kshs.300 billion back to the Recurrent 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
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Expenditure. I will check and if that did not happen, maybe the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to propose an amendment. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: The Minority Chief Whip should sit down because they are between me and the hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chair of the Committee, hon. Kamanda together with his Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing because they, indeed, invited me to that meeting. We had a fruitful discussion. He has really been fighting so hard on this matter. The Ministry was initially promising to give Kshs3 million for the maintenance. Through his efforts, it was raised to Kshs10 million. There are two clarifications that I want to seek. I would like to ask the Chair of ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, the Kshs10 million may not be sufficient to improve that road. It is better than the Kshs3 million but it is not sufficient to improve that road. As it is today, the road is impassible. We are required to maintain 55 kilometers with Kshs10 million. That is a drop in the ocean. But with the zeal in which the Chairman has taken this matter, if he continues that way, then something positive will come out of it. Thank you. view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, so that the Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee can do that. I was just about to conclude the first statement that I was making.

There was no reason and justification really to delay until a few days to the end of the financial year to raise that money to be able to spend it in the few remaining days. The second point I wanted to make is that ... view
