• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Yesterday evening I made good progress in moving this Motion. So, I will share the 20 minutes with Hon. Omuse who will be seconding the Motion. I just want to give some highlights on the issues that we have captured in the Report. This afternoon, Members have talked passionately about how NG-CDF has improved this country. I am therefore very happy as the Chair of the Special Funds Accounts Committee that we now have an opportunity to check on how this money is being used in the constituencies. Since 2013, these are the first ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Also, we highly recommend that the board should have one fund manager per constituency so that they can be efficient and can handle the task and do the work diligently. This is arising from the fact that the constituencies which are sharing fund managers are the ones that suffer from inefficiency and they receive audit queries from the Auditor-General. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Another thing that we recommend and we also want the select committee on NG-CDF chaired by Hon. Maoka Maore to support is to ensure that the NG-CDF board is fully constituted. At the moment the officers that are in the board are civil servants. We need about four officers who should be appointed to the NG-CDF board. Some of the decisions are delayed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: because they take a lot of time to meet, depending on the nature of their work. We have therefore recommended that the NG-CDF board should be reconstituted so that they can be efficient as they serve Kenyans. The board also needs to advertise for the position of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The current CEO has been there since 2011 in an acting capacity. For eight years in acting capacity, you agree with me that it is not proper. If he is confirmed or the position is advertised, then we will be following due process. The last issue before I ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I want to conclude by appreciating my committee Members for demonstrating commitment and consistency in their duty. They have sacrificed their time despite being busy to ensure that the Committee effectively carries out its mandate. On behalf of the Committee, I wish to recommend our appreciation to the offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for facilitating the Committee in fulfilment of our mandate. Our Committee is also grateful to the witnesses, Government officials and agencies that adduced evidence before us. Further, we are also grateful to the staff of the Office ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move that this House adopts the special report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on audited financial statements for the NG-CDF for constituencies in Nairobi City County for the Financial Years 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16, laid on the Table of the House on 3rd October 2018. Allow me to call upon Hon. Geoffrey Omuse, Member for Teso South, to second this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. These are good transitional clauses but I hope the transition will be run smoothly. People will move from this trust fund which has a lot of liabilities and assets and go to the new scheme. Whoever will implement this clause should be very careful because a lot of funds get lost and very funny deals happen during transition. I want to support this clause because it is well put. However, caution should be taken when the transition is done. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Second Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on Audited Financial Statements for the National Government Constituencies Development Fund for Constituencies in Nairobi City County for the Financial Years 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 3rd October 2018. As I move this Motion, I wish we could have even a quarter of the Members of this National Assembly present because this Report is really touching on the constituencies. It touches on the money that we oversee directly ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I have already moved. Now I am on high drive. view
