• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Besides the late disbursement, Members have also discussed the allocation of the NG- CDF. The constituencies we have are unique in one way or the other. There are some constituencies with many schools and others with few schools, and some have high population while others have low population. The current formula is that all the funds that we get are distributed equally among the constituencies. I request the Select Committee on NG-CDF which is chaired by Hon. Maoka Maore to look into this matter and get the right formula, so that Members can see there is equity in this distribution. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Another issue that has come out is about the oversight committee which is still not in place. In the regulations of 2013, it was suggested that there must be an oversight committee, which does not have a budget at the moment. Therefore, the Select Committee on NG-CDF led by Hon. Maoka Maore should bring regulations on the Floor of the House, so that the committee can be put in place. All Members contributed to this Report. I would like to stop there. Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to make a few comments because my colleague will be finalising this Motion at the end of it. I will be brief so that other Members can still contribute to this Motion. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Members have discussed what there is with regard to disbursement of funds by the board. During the last few financial years, this has been a thorny issue because in all the financial statements from the Office of the Auditor General, late disbursements mean that Kenyans did not get value for their money because the projects that were budgeted for were not completed. For this Financial Year 2017/2018, there will be audit issues because constituencies will not be in a position to absorb all the money and yet it has been budgeted for. Therefore, according to the auditor, the projects were ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Late disbursement of funds is also affecting the building of more classrooms because of the transition and the demand for more classrooms is at a high peak. Therefore, we have allocated money for building classrooms to schools in order for students joining Form One to be settled. However, because of late disbursement, there is a lot of congestion in the schools’ dormitories and laboratories noting that this Fund is specially meant for education and security. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Another issue which Members have discussed is equitable distribution of this Fund. This is an issue which Hon. Maoka Maore led-committee is looking into. Our recommendation is that constituencies are unique and, therefore, several factors should be considered when determining the disbursement formula. What happens is that money is divided between the 290 constituencies. There are constituencies with very few schools, even five of them with 20,000 students. In my constituency, South Imenti, we get over 10,000 applications and all are needy cases. There are other constituencies which get 2,000 applications yet, we are given the same amount. Therefore, this ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: On the oversight committee, I think the regulations were not clear on the percentage that this committee should get. This is a critical committee needed in the constituencies. The patron The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: should be the MP because constitutionally our work as MPs is to oversee. Once, the projects are completed we should have an oversight committee of about three to five members led by the MP. This committee was not allocated money because it was to be given 0.1 per cent of the budget for monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The money for monitoring and evaluation is used by fund managers and NG-CDFC. It should be slashed because this implies that you work and then go ahead to mark your exam. That money should be given to the oversight committee so it can ... view
