• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. There was a time I made a very passionate statement in this House. I said that sometimes you may not like someone but there is a good number of people who love and even adore him. Please, we are just requesting the Leader of the Majority Party--- I find it very difficult to interrogate the statement by him, because he is not speaking on behalf of the Government. He is just delivering a statement to us. Therefore, I would request that the Leader of the Majority Party asks the Government to ask ... view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for that guidance. I wanted the Leader of the Majority Party to convey this message because as I rightly put it earlier, the Leader of the Majority Party cannot purport to speak on behalf of the Government. We appreciate and thank him for the apology. However, the message that I want the Leader of the Majority Party to take to the Jubilee Government is that you cannot equate the former Prime Minister to hon. Ng’ongo and any other Cabinet Secretary or even hon. A. B. Duale. Please, allow the former Prime Minister to continue using ... view

• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on this Motion that he has moved. This House will recall that we passed the Division of Revenue Bill, 2013 and immediately we passed it, it was referred to the Senate and this was based on our Standing Orders and also as picked from the Public Finance Management Act. Subsequently, this House will recall that I raised an issue with referring that Bill to the Senate. From the outset, I would like to point out that this should not be seen as a tug of ... view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, you made a ruling and in your ruling, you were very clear that having considered this matter, the issues that I raised – substantially I raised three issues - to do with whether Part I of Chapter Eight of the Constitution of Kenya exclusively vests in the National Assembly the role of determining national revenue between the levels of government, in your ruling, you said that under Article 95(4)(a) of the Constitution, the National Assembly determines the allocation of national revenue between the levels of Government as provided in Part Four of Chapter 12. This role is ... view
• 6 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: In our considered opinion and the rules of this House, we felt that opening this Bill for discussion again was going to be counterproductive and will go against the ruling of the Speaker, which was very clear. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I know this matter has enlisted a lot of debate and that is why I would like to revisit just a few issues to bring into perspective those that have not been very clear. There has been argument that because the Division of Revenue Bill divides revenue between the National Government and county government and because county government is mentioned ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c) to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee regarding the establishment, composition and operation of all constitutional Commissions in Kenya. This House has a constitutional responsibility under Article 95(4)(c) to exercise oversight over national revenue and its expenditure. This is a responsibility shared with no other institution of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I want to further state that the Public Finance Management Act, under Part 1 Section 2, defines wasteful expenditure as any expenditure incurred which could have been avoided had due care and diligence been exercised. This House is required by law under the Public Finance Management Act, Section 7(b) to monitor adherence by Parliament, the Judiciary and the national Government and its entities to the principles of public finance and others as set out in the Constitution which includes but is not limited to openness and accountability; public money shall be used in a prudent and responsible way and to ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, Article 254(1)(2) gives powers to the President and the National Assembly to at any time, require a Commission or holder of an independent office to submit a report on a particular issue. In that regard, I would ask the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee: (i) To table before the House the salaries and allowances of all members of constitutional commissions, including their sitting allowances and rates per sitting. (ii) State how many vehicles are allocated to a Commissioner and the monthly cost of running those vehicles including fuel and maintenance cost as per Commissioner. (iii) Explain to ... view
