• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am a bit lost about the information the Vice-Chair is giving the House and myself. He is saying the biggest mandate of this House is to write the Budget. I do not know whether that is Tugen language because I am unable to understand what "writing a budget," is. I am unable to understand, honestly speaking. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I stand to support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2020/2021. However, I do this with a number of reservations which I would like to highlight. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The budget-making process was conferred on this House through the Constitution, 2010. Every year at the beginning of the budget-making process, the National Treasury provides us with the BPS, which is a very important document. It lays the foundation of the budget-making process and gives out the ceilings and everything. What shocks me is that the National Treasury does not adhere to the resolutions of the House through the BPS. That is the document that they are supposed to use to lay the foundation of the Budget that they bring before the House. The resolutions of this House on the ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: We will not allow the National Treasury to do such things. If you look at this financial year that will end on 30th June, the National Treasury will bring the third Supplementary Budget. We had a Budget and there was Supplementary Budget I, II and III. You do not do that in your house. You budget the little salary you earn for a whole month. You do not make a supplementary budget in your house on 10th, 15th and another one on 25th. It just shows you how incompetent the technocrats at the National Treasury are. Look at the whole ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: because Article 223 of the Constitution is being misused. People spend money and then bring it here for us to rubberstamp. We deal with a carcass which we cannot do anything about. Even if we do not approve it, the money cannot come back because it has already been used. We must scrutinise the way the budget-making process is being handled. It is for our good and that of the country. I am not trying to attack anyone or lie. I want things to be good. I want proper management of our finances in this country. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: When I used to be in serious Opposition, but not now when we have gone down a bit, we used to talk about the debt portfolio in this country. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I remember those days when the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee used to ask me: “What kind of debt are you talking about? Look at Japan and the USA, they are at 200 per cent of their GDP.” Today, the debt repayment is at Kshs900 billion while we are collecting Kshs1.6 trillion or even less, as I am being informed. Where are you going to get all that money from? If you had listened to me in 2014 when I was doing mapambano, maybe you would be paying Kshs200 billion by now and not Kshs900 billion. You never ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: That one minute, I will use it in two ways. First, we must adhere to the Constitution and the law when we are making the Budget. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: In my last minute, I want to thank the outgoing Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations. I looked at the Budget thoroughly and I have not seen any gratuity for him. I wanted to put at least Kshs10 million for him to go home. I do not know whether we can get it from the Parliamentary budget or from which ministry. Let us see how we can send him home. He has done a very good job for the time he has been there. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support. view
