• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the BPS. The BPS is a document which gives policy pronouncement underpinning the preparation of Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure. To this end the BPS is adopted by the House to guide the National Treasury and ministries and departments. If you look at this BPS, there is no policy contained in it. It is just a routine thing that Treasury is trying to achieve. There is no major policy that is contained that caught my eye in this BPS. I am disappointed that over the years, the BPS has been brought before ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Let me begin by addressing the plans pronounced by the Government under the so called Big Four Agenda. The proposed expenditure allocations indicate business as usual approach. This BPS is just telling Parliament to do things in what we normally call business as usual. There is nothing new that is contained in this BPS. This Report indicates that the bulk of the ministerial expenditure which is 26 per cent goes to the education sector and 22.3 per cent to the Energy, Infrastructure and ICT. Public Administration and International Relations Sector gets 14.9 per cent while as Governance, Justice, Law and ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: investigation, when you do not have a laboratory to do the investigations that you intend to do and you are not spending in that direction? Instead, you are spending in other directions that have no benefit to this country. These projects were the foundation of the envisaged growth of 10 per cent in the Vision 2030. When those projects were done, we expected the economy to grow at 10 per cent. Even after the revision of how those things are calculated, this economy has stagnated at between 5.6 per cent. It is stuck there. It has lost energy. It cannot ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We are freezing in the House. Maybe he is waiting for KAA matter. view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the National Treasury has always lived a lie by giving optimistic economic projections. The projection that was given in this BPS of 2019 and medium term are not anchored in any major policy of Government and project implementation, but they are still based on factors beyond control of Government like weather. The Government is telling you that the economy will do well, if the weather condition is good. So, they are living in the hope of hopes that if God can favour us and there will be rain next year, then this economy will do well. ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: In conclusion, an overrated growth projection impacts on our debt position amongst microeconomic fundamentals. This loophole has always been used by the National Treasury to give incorrect position on our debts. We have spoken about the issue of debts for many years, from the last Parliament to this one. And we were told we are using the GDP to set our ceilings on how much we can borrow. I want this House to change that rule and put specific provisions in the PFM Act and give the Government a numerical ceiling beyond which they cannot go, Kshs6 billion and it ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. He is right. But by the time he is coming to borrow, he has already calculated some figures that our debt ratio is 48 per cent to the GDP, so we have 2 per cent to go. I am saying that we write it in black and white that the ceiling is Kshs5 trillion. Do not come back here, if you go beyond that. That is the point I was making. To conclude, the BPS is a tool that guides the government in preparing estimates. Over the ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Haijaisha, unless you do not want me to speak in the House. There is some light that normally goes on. To conclude, the amount of corruption that goes on in the county governments, the devolved corruption, the billions of shillings that are lost in the counties cannot be overemphasised. Look at what is happening. Nowadays you just hear that a county has lost Kshs2 billion or Kshs3 billion. You never hear about Kshs1 million, Kshs10 million or Kshs100 million. We must come up with a mechanism to address this. Even though here in the national Government Kimwarer and Aror are ... view
