• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: That is okay. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. The Report is very clear on the austerity measures that the Ministries and State departments need to take if Kenya is to attain the objective of becoming a middle income country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the pertinent issues that have been raised in the Reports include pending bills going into scores of millions, imprests, unscrupulous and dishonest contractors and under-collection of Appropriation-in-Aid. With regard to that, I think going forward the counties should also account for the A-in-A they collect and it should be factored in future reports. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a lot of seed money is pumped into State corporations and agencies that are supposed to generate revenue but no returns are realised and this actually translates into non-performance or under-performance by the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of these ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. I rise to support the Bill because its overall aim is to reduce the cost of living for Kenyans. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Before I give my points, I want to congratulate the President and the Deputy President for the good gesture of reducing their pay. We encourage all the people with fat payslips to do the same. Unfortunately, for me, I may not do it because after deductions, my payslip only reads Kshs6,000. I do not know what to give. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to that, I want to talk about public or State wastage. That is because if we have to reduce the cost of living for Kenyans, we have to address the issue of State wastage. I am looking at institutions like the commissions that we have in Kenya. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Most of the commissions have nine commissioners. If we reduce the commissioners to three, we will save close to Kshs720 million a year. If we reduce the board members in State corporations, we will be talking about saving billions of shillings. If we retrench idle staff in most of these State corporations, for example, Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) where I was before--- It has over 600 staff members who are doing nothing. When we have more people or commissioners working in these institutions, they wrangle with staff over work. They are idle and as you know: An idle mind ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: At the end of last year, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) and the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) had questions over flawed contracts. We are looking at things like workshops and seminars that are unnecessary. We have many organisations that are paying ghost workers. Many Government agencies are paying people who died many years ago. We can make savings by reducing foreign trips and reducing printing and advertising in the Government. view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the county governments now, you will realize that they have become employment bureaus. We have three different governments in the counties. We still have the local government - we used to have the county councils - we have the Provincial Administration and all of them have budgets. Unless that is addressed, we will not be able to realize the multiplier effect that hon. Mbadi was talking about. This is the only time we can get the water we are talking about in Turkana and achieve the food security that is devastating many ... view
• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support. Thank you. view
