• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to say that, really, asking someone to quit politics is unconstitutional. I have even heard hon. Members asking that we incorporate into this Bill Members of Parliament who have served just one term. If that is the case, Clause 3 will work against all of us. I do not think that anyone would want to be told to quit politics to get their benefits, especially Members of Parliament. We should live to the spirit of the second stanza of our prayer. I think we have taken this prayer just like a poem. This prayer ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion that is asking this House to approve the Appropriation Bill of 2014. I want to start from the fact that this House debated and approved the Budget Estimates for 2014. We did it in line with the Constitution and having passed the Budget Estimates, what has been done is just to consolidate them and put them in the Appropriation Bill and that is what the law requires. I wanted to read the Constitution, so that the National Treasury, must also be alive to one fact that the budget process ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, therefore what that says is that the Treasury has all the time to engage with the Budget and Appropriations Committee before the estimates are passed by this House. Once the estimates are passed by this House the law requires that that is what should go into the Appropriation Bill. If you do not that you would be acting unconstitutionally. I know there is a provision in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act which requires us to balance the reduction with the increment but that is an Act of Parliament. The Constitution is superior. The electronic version of the ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, I am raising this matter because I know that we gave the Treasury some time to come and harmonise with us the estimates that we approve vis-a-vis their original draft of the Appropriation Bill. Unfortunately the Treasury did not meet our deadline. Deadlines are deadlines and we cannot wait. However, there is still time for the Treasury to engage us to fill the Budget gap. I know there is a Budget gap of about Kshs17 billion. However, what was annoying was that the Budget gap was coming according to Treasury because of us. Hon. Speaker, you remember ... view
