• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: When you see an institution abandon its role and pursue roles of another institution, it clearly shows that it is an idle institution. If the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chair of a Board of parastatal are entangled in confusion, that institution will not move. If you appoint a Chair of a Board that is idle and you allow them to hover around the corridors of the parastatal, the CEO will not work. What does that tell you? The Constitution does not provide enough work for the Senate. Senators are idling and hovering around looking for work to do. ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, the HBC should consider and bring a Report to this House specifying that the Senate should only summon the CS responsible for Devolution. This is the only CS who will then link them to the national Government since there is no need of confusion. I want to conclude by saying that the Constitution is clear on the roles of this House. I also want to ask a question but I do not need an answer. We must ask ourselves who approves the appointments of CSs, the Attorney-General, the Secretary to the Cabinet, the Principal Secretaries (PSs), High Commissioners, Director ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this important Budget of 2019/2020. The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning had a total of 14 sittings to look at the budgets for the State departments and commissions which come under us and these include; the National Treasury, the State Department for Planning, the State Department for Devolution under the Ministry of Devolution, the Controller of Budget, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and finally the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). The budgets were more or less the same as what was there in the last ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we recommended some enhancement which would strengthen the various activities being carried out under the NG-CDF given that, in the various constituencies where we come from, people in the villages are only aware about the projects done by the NG-CDF. We wonder whether these devolved units were actually only for recurrent expenditure. This is because the work done by counties is not measurable and that is a very serious crime. I wonder what in future we will show. We were also asking about the activities which are normally carried out during the devolution conferences. They normally clap for ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: We observed that though this department has been given the responsibility of distributing relief food for Kenyans, they have not been funded. They used to be funded directly in the past. We observed that, this time round, they have not been funded directly. They were depending on the National Treasury as they would get funding from the Contingency Fund. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: However, we recommended that because there are Kenyans who depend on relief food given the areas they come from... In fact, there are Kenyans who go to the DCCs to wait for The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: food. So, for the DCC to justify or for the State Department for Devolution to justify that they need food, it becomes a long process if it is not budgeted under the State Department for Devolution directly. In case there will be need to have more food, especially when there is serious drought, then they can apply to be given more money under the Contingency Fund. Therefore, we had recommended an additional Kshs852 million for relief food to the State Department for Devolution. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The Commission on Revenue Allocation is one that is in charge of recommending the sharing of revenue between the two levels of Government, that is, the national Government and the county governments. This Commission was recommended to get Kshs456 million compared to Kshs413 million last year. This is because of the kind of aggressive work they are doing. They are working on new policies for the third formula on sharing of revenue and so we recommended an additional Kshs12.5 million. view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much for this chance. As soon as this Bill was tabled in the House and advertised for the public to know that it was being processed, our Committee was tasked to tackle three areas. One of them was the Micro Finance Act which the Leader of the Majority Party has already spoken about. The Central Bank of Kenya has said that they want more time to come up with a more comprehensive amendment to the Micro Finance Act. The next one was the amendment to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. It was ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I respect Hon. Wamalwa but he might have walked in or picked my contribution in the middle. I have planned my work well. Be assured I will come back to it. I was only systematically introducing what the Committee was tasked to do. view
