• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: As we do this, we should not forget the Members of the County Assemblies who are also elected leaders. We also have pension cases of former councilors. If you go to the villages, you will find that these people are really suffering. They have been following up their monies since 10 years ago, and up to date, they have not been able to get their money. It is unfortunate that Hon. Savula has left. We should not leave it at that because it is very difficult for a developing country like Kenya to have free healthcare for all and free ... view

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Today you have made a lot of recommendations that Hon. Chairs of Committees should adopt and I hope that - because majority were not in the House this afternoon- maybe the Office of the Clerk will communicate that important message to the Chairs.

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: can see he is a new force. He is a new Member who is very active and I can see he is also very ready to contribute to this Report. So, Hon. Speaker, the Special Funds Accounts Committee is one of the three watchdog committees of this House. I want to thank you before you leave the Chair, because the Special Funds Accounts Committee is your brainchild.

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, noting that we had no Auditor-General for the last couple of months, I want to first thank His Excellency the President for appointing Madam Nancy Janet Kabui Gathungu as the Auditor-General. Moreover, I want to thank her predecessor, Dr. Edward Ouko who we have worked with for the last three years and he has really supported our Committee in so many ways. In addition, I want to wish him well wherever he will be serving Kenyans. Madam Nancy Janet Kabui has committed herself to work with a lot of independence, which is key especially in the audits. In addition, ... view

Speaker may direct. So far he has directed us to look into more than 70 other funds which we are looking at.

• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when Members of this House hear of Commodities Fund, they do not know what this fund entails. This fund was established under Section 9 of Crops Act, No. 16 of 2013 which was a merger of the defunct Coffee Development Fund and the Sugar Development Fund. This is the fund that most of the Members here especially from Western, Nyanza and parts of the Coast Region should be interested in. They should seek to understand its operations especially in sugar development. This fund is very key in supporting farmers, especially cane and coffee farmers. The electronic ... view
