Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the 18th Report of PIC. I would like to thank the Committee for presenting this very important Report for the purposes of this House to adopt. As the Members are aware, parastatals are investments that the Government makes on behalf of Kenyans. But when you look at the trend since Independence, Chief Executive Officers, boards of directors and chairmen look for positions in those parastatals basically for looting and nothing else. Reports have been done time and again since Independence, indicting many officers ...

a paltry Kshs.7 million in the year 2001, when the Kenya National Assurance Company 2001 was formed. So, the receiver managers looted Kshs3 billion and nobody has been taken to court over that matter. There are investments the Government is making on non-performing organisations. An example is the National Social Security Fund. Those are public funds; workers’ money that is being collected and somebody invests Kshs1 billion in form of securities with Discount Securities and ends up losing Kshs1.2 billion.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, institutions are really letting down this country and it is high time we put them on notice. There should be timelines on the implementation of these reports. Otherwise, taxpayers will continue losing their money and they will have no refuge other than to go down. They will have lost hope in all institutions that have been put in place. With those few remarks, I beg to support. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Today I have given him a certificate from my side as the attorney of this country. The problem we have in these commissions is that there is no separation between the commissioners and the secretariat. The work that is done by every commission; majority of it or the core issues are handled by the secretariat. Commissioners want to muzzle the secretariat. So, we must give the secretariat mandate to do their work and we must give them some security. Parliament is not obliged to agree with the President, whether the President has sent it back here. That is his opinion ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I agree and support the amendments that were proposed by the President except that after some period new amendments must be introduced to these issues that were raised by the President, especially the issue that is touching on secretaries. Under Chapter 15, these commissions are not like any other commissions. There is a reason why they were anchored in the Constitution. It shows that they are superior to other roadside commissions. That issue should be relooked at. Thank you.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to oppose the amendment at Clause 25A. This is going to affect the Government in a big way in terms of collection of taxes. This is a Government which has been taken over by businessmen.
