• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On that note, the NG-CDF needs to be entrenched in the Constitution and in the laws of the land. You will realise that the NG-CDF is so lean in its operations and even structure. The decision-making of the NG-CDF is bottom-up. The public plays a critical role in identification of projects. That is why it is rare to have white elephant projects in the NG-CDF. You will also realise that the cost of running and maintaining the NG-CDF is so lean. It is less than two per cent. Look at other devolved funds, the funds that have been taken to ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Chairperson of the NG-CDF Committee need to hear this, so that as we move forward to next year, we will make sure that an oversight committee which is able to oversee the standing committee on NG-CDF will be able to oversee all the projects in the constituency without any problem. Two, let us also ensure that this Fund is entrenched in the Constitution… view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The issue of Yassin Juma is a matter of national concern. It is a matter that has put this country so low in a community of nations, more specifically the East African Community. Over the years, Kenya has been known to be serious regional bloc. However, the way we behave when it comes to foreign affairs and treat our citizens when they are in distress is bringing this country down. We have had issues with Uganda, and you will all recall the issue of truck drivers, Tanzania and other countries. I want to state this ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The other issue is the challenge facing most State corporations on procurement, control and management processes these entities. Most of them do not follow the necessary procurement procedures as per the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005. Some have entered into contracts that sometimes has costed them a lot and has cost the Government to be taken to court and surcharged. There is also delay in the appointment of CEOs. Some of the CEOs have been good, but they have been in acting capacity for many years. If they are confirmed, they will ... view

As Members have just put it, the Bill that we discussed in the morning mainly discussed issues that affected former Members. Even in the precincts of this Parliament, we have seen ... view
