• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: If you have a software you can process information by pressing a button; process statutory reports and upload them to an electronic system which will then transmit directly to a statutory body. Even after the new Constitution came into being, the current Sacco Bill is still referring to Ministers. Clause 3 is seeking to align county assemblies to the current Constitution because the current Sacco Bill is still referring to local authorities instead of county assemblies. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 4 seeks to recognise the Office of the Controller and Auditor-General which was changed. Previously, it was referred to as the Office of the Auditor-General during the time of the long serving Auditor-General, Mr. Njoroge. We did not know any other name. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We were told Kiswahili came by ship and English came by plane. Some of us did not fly before we started working. You are correct. This Bill seeks to change the name from Controller and Auditor- General to Auditor-General. Members, you can excuse me for that and you can now recognise the right word to use. There is an issue of SACCOs that do not comply with regulations. Therefore, it also provides for processes on how registration of SACCOs is done and how licences are revoked. It recognises the process of a tribunal when there is ... view

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I stand to move the Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2018, I request and indulge you that this particular Bill be stood down until next week.

Therefore, I request you to stand it down until next week. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. This is a very important Bill and it is an overall framework which will govern the way procurement is done in this country. It is actually a Bill which seeks to guide how contracts in this country will be drawn, the contents of the contract documents and the way those particular contracts will be executed. This Bill repeals the current Government Contracts Act which is old. Remember that after the new Constitution came into being, there were certain Acts of Parliament which were given priority in terms of ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: This Bill, once enacted, also provides for punitive penalties for accounting officers who will not follow or who will not ensure that the procedures stipulated here are followed. It provides penalties in both the county governments and the national Government. It also provides some control for the bidders. What happens is that when contractors are bidding for contracts, there is likelihood that there will be some lobbying. So, this particular Bill provides that the bidder should declare that he has not directly or indirectly paid or agreed to pay any officer or individual in the course of bidding for that ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When public officers do their work well, it is always good. If they follow the right procedures they cannot be held personally responsible if the law is not followed. It also provides that any contract which is signed properly outside the country for either the national Government or the county governments will be treated as if it is a full Government contract and so any officer who goes outside the country and signs contracts and is allowed by virtue of his job to sign, will not be penalised. This Bill will not occasion additional expenditure on the Government because it ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As I finalise, this Bill is important. We have talked so much about fighting corruption and this particular Bill is giving strength to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 and any other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws which are already in place, on top of complementing the current procurement and the Public Finance Management (PFM) laws. view
