• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: It is my plea that, because this is a direct mandate of the Senate, they need to rein in the county government management so that we realize value for the money that we vote for the counties. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, I support. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Motion. First of all, I would like to say that this is the third year since the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution that we are preparing the Budget under the new dispensation. This is the first Budget that is being processed under the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Budget Committee expected to see a uniform format both for the National Government, Parliament and the Judiciary. However, to our surprise, Parliament, the Judiciary and the National Government came up with different formats of the Budget process. We advise that the law contemplates that the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Finance needs to bring to this House policies and rules that will govern the Budget- making process so that there is a difference in the next financial year when we embark on the next Budget cycle which will begin by 30th August, this year. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, after this House approves these Estimates today or immediately thereafter, we expect the Cabinet Secretary, within 21 days, to consolidate and publish in the Kenya Gazette and also make it public in the media for Kenyans to know which Budget we have passed. We hope that the Cabinet Secretary will make sure that, that particular provision of the Act is followed to the letter. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I know that on Thursday we expect the Cabinet Secretary to come to this House and make policy highlights and spell out revenue raising measures, if we adjust our Standing Orders. He will spell out how exactly we will finance the Kshs1.6 trillion Budget that we have. This is not a small Budget but a record Budget. However, my only concern is that this Budget over-relies on the possibility of changing or amending the Value Added Tax Bill. Unless this Bill that is before this House is passed, we are not likely to raise the over Kshs900 ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: That being the case, in the event that that VAT Bill will not be passed in its current form, then we run a risk of failing as a country to realize the revenue that we have projected to realize. In that case, we will either fail to implement some of the development projects or alternatively, we will have to borrow more either domestically or externally. You know the risk of domestic borrowing. This is because definitely we will cloud the private sector from the market. view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, some questions have been asked. I have heard some people raise the question on why we took away Kshs4 billion from the Treasury meant for constitutional implementation. The answer is simple. I remember sometime in 2011, before most of the commissions that we have today were put in place; that is before the various Acts setting these commissions were put in place, we decided to provide a solid line item or a block item in our Estimates. That is under the Treasury. That was so, so that the moment the commissions are in place the money would ... view
• 11 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The Treasury has continued to carry along that Budget line even after various commissions are already in place; actually all of them that are contemplated in the Constitution are in place. Therefore, there was no need to budget under the Treasury a block figure for constitutional implementation because those amounts go to the line view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order regarding the notice of Motion that my Chair has just given. Looking at the Order Paper and without pre-emptying debate, there is something to do with the Division of Revenue Bill. So, I do not know how we are going to marry the two. That is why you need to give direction as to how we are going to marry the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Order No.9 on the Division of Revenue Bill. view
