• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, another Kshs5 billion was because of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). The law requires PSC to bring an independent budget to Parliament and not through Treasury and, therefore, we should tell the Treasury that they are not over sighting and perfecting the PSC. It is the work of this Parliament and so we told him that we will not accept the Kshs5.2 billion that you are reducing and we will take it back because it is not your job. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, finally, remember when we go out there to listen to the public and hear their concerns and what they consider as priority projects, we are not going there to entertain ourselves. We go there so that we incorporate some of those issues in our Budget. I want to give you an example. Last year we went to about seven or eight areas and those areas had priority items. We took number one priority item in every area we visited. We did the same this year for eight. So, that is 15 in total. We decided that the ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there are others which include for example my neighbouring constituency of Mbita. We have a hero called Tom Mboya who we refer to as Tom Okeyo Odhiambo. This person contributed a lot to this country. This person was the first person to bring clearly defined economic papers for this country some of which we are still referring to. Nobody can visit his gravesite and yet it is a tourist site. This Budget and Appropriations Committee has made sure that we are allocating Kshs10 million to that site. What could be so good like that? view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, another thing is that we have been crying for a patrol boat for Lake Victoria. This Committee has made sure that there is allocation of Kshs90 million for this particular patrol boat. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to add that there are road in other areas like there is a road in Central Province that this Committee has allocated money to. We have allocated money in respect of our departed colleague Mr. Nyumu who just passed on the other day because he had started a project of rehabilitating the youths who are victims of alcohol. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, listen to this: What is our strategy? Our strategy is for the next three years to divide our 47 counties into three so that each year each county must give us 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: a flagship project so that we allocate funds direct to those projects as a Parliament. If for example Siaya feels that there is one road that cuts across the county we will not continue blaming the Executive and yet now Parliament has a budget making power. So, if it is Siaya and there is a road that cuts across all the constituencies and we cost it we will allocate money for it say Kshs1billion or Kshs2 billion for that specific road. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you allow this Committee to go that direction and engage with the Treasury on your behalf I am sure by the end of our term we will say that this Parliament has made some progress. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, very quickly after talking about those issues I wanted to just raise one more point before I sit down. I want to say that we have allocated money to ministries. Yes, we are very proud. We have given money for security. We have given money for infrastructure for example to the roads. We are giving Kshs42 billion for donor funded roads. We are giving Kshs41 billion for ongoing projects. Kshs22 billion for maintenance of roads and Kshs10 billion for new roads. We want the ministries now to start running. We do not want where we allocate huge amounts ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, my plea is that we respect and implement the Budget. My final comment if I still have any few minutes left is that there is an allocation through these public hearings money that we have put in the Budget for this Parliament to use in executing debate on peaceful co-existence in this country. I would urge that that money is utilized effectively and efficiently so that we can remain cohesive in this country. view
