• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate your ruling and even as you go through the document, as an accountant, I believe that proof of expenditure is receipts. In carrying out your finding, I would request you to check if there are any receipts to that effect. I heard Dr. Khalwale saying that people were paying for the meals. I wonder what kind of a party that was, where you pay for the meals. No wonder, I did not attend it. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in your second Statement, I just want to observe that in the recent past, we have had increased cases of our Albino brothers and sisters being lured to some other parts of the world where it is alleged that their body parts are being used for some clandestine activities. To protect these, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona successfully moved a Bill in this House, The Counter Trafficking in Persons Bill which this House passed. I have just heard from your ruling that this has not been assented to. I am concerned because this Bill would go a long way in ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to my Chairman, I thought the Motion before us is a procedural Motion. The Appropriation Bill is coming later. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Appropriations Bill. view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: As I start I would like to appeal to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that he should try as much as possible to work within the law. On a number of occasions, he has deliberately refused to work within the law. That makes it very difficult for some of us to just support the Motions that he brings before this House. Even though this is a very crucial Bill, sometimes, it is with a heavy heart that we support it. Why do I say this? First of all, the Ministry of Finance is accountable to the Budget ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another point that, the law is very clear when it comes to Budget for Parliament and the office of the Controller and Auditor-General. These are Budgets that are supposed to be passed as they are sent to the Ministry. But the Ministry has been violating the various legislations and just reducing the Budgets for Parliament and the Controller and Auditor-General. This is unacceptable because it compromises the independence of these two important institutions. When these pieces of legislations were passed to shield these Budgets from control by the Treasury, it was deliberate because this House did ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: My Chairman has talked about the CDF. The law is very clear on the minimum percentage that should be voted on this vote head. But the Ministry has been violating this consistently. Even for this financial year, if you work out the two and half per cent of ordinary revenue, it is more than what the Minister is showing as going to the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 to be given to constituencies. Why do we pass laws in this House which we do not respect? That is the question! When this House passed a Bill which ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: My Chairman has talked about a Treasury Memorandum. When the Controller and Auditor-General audits accounts of Government departments, parastatals and Ministries and has given recommendations, those recommendations are looked at by various Parliamentary Committees. Those committees present reports to Parliament and view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: their reports are adopted. It is actually a legal requirement for the Ministry to present a Treasury memorandum. We should not beg for these things. The Ministry has to work. We have a young Minister in this Ministry and we expect things to change. We do not want it to be business as usual. So, Mr. Minister, we will give you money, but we want you to change your attitude. This is a new Kenya. So, change your attitude and the way your Ministry has been doing business. If it is a question about the technocrats in your Ministry ageing, ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Duale to impute improper motive on Members of the Back Bench, that we present reports in this House which are not credible? Could he substantiate? view
