Clause 14 bases itself on the issue of a Parliamentary report every six months. This is a report that we shall be taking very seriously. Clause 15 talks about preferences to facilitate attainment of the quota in order for the State to achieve. This is just stating the principle which is actually enshrined in our Constitution in Articles 55 and 227(2). Clause 17 is also fundamental because the Constitution provides for a secretariat within the National Treasury that ... view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, we state that the National Treasury shall provide adequate staff and resources for the operation of this secretariat so that it is not frustrated.

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what this provides for is, on top of just saying that 30 per cent of the procurement at the end will be for these groups, they should also put it in at the procurement plan. When they are giving the procurement plans, they should demonstrate how they intend to make sure that 30 per cent goes to those groups. I support. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Instead of just saying Kshs30 million will go to the youth, women and people with disabilities, they must break down in terms of the target. They should say what they expect to give women.

If that is done, we will have something to audit and to ... view

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It is actually a bidding process for you to dispose of those assets. It has similar committee just as you are acquiring assets. If you go through from Clause 164 to Clause 165, the whole of section part 14, Clause 165 talks about technical report by the relevant expert of the subject items for disposal that takes into account the real market price.

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: So, there is valuation. What I really want to point out is that this particular amendment was originally part of my Bill and it had been introduced by Hon. AminaAbdalla who is the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. I just want to give her credit for following it through to this Bill. When we were doing the amendments to this Bill she was actually out of the country but she ensured that she called me to make sure that it still comes in this legislation. So, I just want to laud her for her consistency ... view

• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Chairman for your gracious indulgence. I just want to point out two things that are significant.
