• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, it is good to use the constituency level criteria for qualification for the Equalisation Fund. This calls for the Commission for Revenue Allocation and other Government institutions that are responsible for doing poverty evaluation in this 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
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: to stop going along the main roads when they do the poverty index survey. They should consider all the parameters, including size and the economic value of that area. That is because you can have a constituency or a county with large land mass but the economic value of that land will not qualify that county or the specific constituency to be a rich. Therefore, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and others should go to where the Wanjikus are or the bottom of the constituencies and try to get the poverty survey index correctly. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Even on population, when they carry out the survey, they should consider many factors. We have seen that population and poverty index are the main parameters that are used when allocating resources in this country. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is also the proposed amendment to Article 204 which says: “Recent audited accounts and approved by the National Assembly”. Two things are in play here. First, is “Recent audited accounts” and second is “approved by the National Assembly.” I would like to call upon PAC to speed up their work because the last audited accounts approved by this House were for the 2007/2008 Financial Year. If we were to go by that, we will not be doing justice to the people of this country. That is because we are now in the 2013/2014 Financial Year. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I know that PAC has just tabled a Report for the accounts for the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 financial years. The Auditor-General has tabled a Report of, maybe, the 2012/2013 Financial Year. But that is not enough because the Constitution says: “Last audited” and “approved accounts by this House.” Therefore, it is upon PAC to speed up in terms of examining and presenting a report to those accounts. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, Article 204(3)(b) says:- “Either directly or indirectly through conditional grants to counties in which marginalized communities exist.” This is to the extent that the expenditure of those funds has been approved in the Appropriation Bill as enacted by Parliament. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The Mover has retained the word “Parliament”, but if you look at 204(1) it says “as approved by the National Assembly”. In the Constitution, when we use the word “Parliament” it means both Houses. Since it says “as approved by the National Assembly”, it will be good to be specific on 3(a) and say “Appropriation Bill enacted by the National Assembly” in order to cure that inconsistence. view
