• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Very good! Hon. Speaker, let me correct the Chairperson of Budget and Appropriations Committee. He is not getting it right. The amount not yet disbursed is Kshs11.7 billion, but the amount which is in this Supplementary Budget is Kshs6.3 billion; that leaves you with an allocation of Kshs5.4 billion, which the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is asking to be delayed. That is the mathematics. What is left for CDF in the whole country for this financial year, ending in 11 days’ time is Kshs11.7 billion. But what you have put in the Supplementary Estimates is Kshs6.3 billion. ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, protect me from hon. Members. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am actually helping some of them to follow the report. It is good for hon. Members to listen because some of them have not even read it. I am just explaining to the House why the Chairman of the Committee is seeking for delayed disbursement of the Kshs5.4 billion. They say that it is very unlikely that the CDF will disburse the remaining amount with less than two weeks remaining. So, what the Committee is asking for is just delayed disbursement. The report says that the Appropriation Bill for Financial Year 2013/2014 will have the re-allocation ... view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, as I second this Motion it is good to state that this House passed the Supplementary Budget in January, 2013. The Government has, however, continued to face major challenges. That has been contributed to largely by a weak global economy that has in a way affected our tax collection agency, which has so far not been able to register good, or very encouraging performance in terms of revenue collection. This Motion, therefore, is seeking the authority of this House to allow the Executive to look for ways of meeting this unanticipated expenditure through the ways the Mover ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: operations, especially this time when we have a kind of insecure environment in the entire country. You know our region is highly threatened by the Al Shabaab and other insurgents. You may also not be able to anticipate when floods will occur. In the last three months this country has received good rains. At times the negative happens. Floods that wreak havoc on our roads, bridges and low lying areas like Tana River were not anticipated when we approved the Supplementary Budget in January, 2013. It is good that several measures were taken. We had both food and non-food services. ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: sector were being implemented at the constituency level all the way from the stages of awarding tenders, supervision to monitoring. This project was under the former Ministry of Local Government, where the tenders were awarded. All the procurement processes were undertaken. Supervision and monitoring was done from a central place. It is a good example from which to learn to devolve services, because centralising all these things in one place brings a lot of challenges, which may not be there if we devolve some functions to the lower levels. I also wish to support what the Mover has said. This ... view
