• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The Board, in consultation with the National Treasury and Ministry of Planning and other relevant authorities should expedite completion of all incomplete or stalled projects. The NG-CDF Board should adopt and implement electronic monitoring and evaluation systems and tools to monitor all projects in the constituencies and have them linked to the electronic national Government monitoring and evaluation system. That is not a big thing to do. The board should have an electronic system that can synchronise all the projects across the country from wherever they are. Once they are complete, the system will be indicating that a project is ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Another cross-cutting issue that we identified as the Committee is failure to surrender imprest. The Committee observed that recovery of outstanding imprest was low and that some imprest remained outstanding since 2015/2016, which is in contravention of Regulation 94 of the Public Finance Management Regulation Act, 2015. The Committee recommends that the NG-CDF Board recovers all outstanding imprest from defaulting officers with interest at the prevailing Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) rate as provided for under Article 226(5) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Another cross-cutting issue is stated in part (g). It is on transfer of assets and liabilities following the splitting of constituencies. The Committee noted that constituencies were facing challenges relating to the transfer of assets and liabilities occasioned by the delimiting of constituency boundaries. The Committee further observed that following the split of constituencies Fund Account Managers opened new accounts with nil balances for audit, despite a directive issued by the board requiring that financial transactions for new accounts be conducted through the old constituency accounts. Actually, Nairobi County is the leading county in Kenya with many new constituencies. For ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: His fund manager has done very well and I want to commend him. Therefore, when these constituencies were split the liabilities and assets…You know the original constituency was supposed to take over the assets and any money left so, it could be shared among the projects falling in other constituencies. This did not go smoothly according to what we got during our interaction with the fund managers. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, we have recommended that the board provides a status report to the National Assembly on transfer of assets and liabilities among all constituencies, following the delimitation of constituency boundaries which resulted into creation of 290 constituencies. The NG-CDF Board should implement this recommendation within six months of adoption of this Report by the House. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Another cross-cutting issue is inadequate support from the national Government sub- county treasury in Nairobi City County. The Committee observed that the 17 constituencies in Nairobi City County are served by one district accountant domiciled in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. Therefore, it was very difficult for the fund managers to get the statements of accounts to adequately prepare for auditors. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The Fund Account Managers cited challenges in accessing services of this office, particularly approval of payments and access to documents under the custody of the district accountant. These are usually subject for verification by the Auditor-General during auditing period. Therefore, my Committee recommends that the Cabinet Secretary under the National Treasury and Planning and the Ministry of Planning establishes the office of the regional accountant to support Fund Account Managers within Nairobi City County. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Another key issue is about engagement of Fund Account Managers by the NG-CDF Board. The Committee observed that some Fund Account Managers were deployed to more than The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: one constituency with others doubling as regional coordinators. This creates inefficiencies in execution of their functions. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the board reviews its policy on renewal of contracts for Fund Account Managers to provide for clearance of outstanding audit queries based on reports from the Auditor-General on constituencies’ engagements prior to effecting any transfers and deployment. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The NG-CDF Board should fill existing vacancies of Fund Account Managers and regional coordinators and it should adhere to this deployment policy on the maximum number of years that Fund Account Managers should be engaged in a constituency. On this one, we recommended that it should be implemented within three months of the adoption of this Report by the House. Members will agree with me that as we do the oversight role, sometimes it is hard to trace the fund manager serving your constituency. When he has two or three constituencies, his or her efficiency becomes zero. Therefore, the constituents ... view
