• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a Procedural Motion and most of us have been here religiously to, at least, get an opportunity to speak this afternoon, but in vain. It is almost 7.00 p.m., and we have not been given an opportunity to speak. I was wondering if the House could agree that Members should only contribute for three minutes. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I support this Procedural Motion which is in line with the Standing Orders. This recess is very important. It will give Members enough time to interact with our people at the constituency level. Noting that the NGCDF issues have become a hot potato, it will give us time to inspect the projects which we have been undertaking in the last one year. We will also reflect on 2016/2017 Financial Year because we need to come up with objective projects, which we will forward to the NGCDF Board. ... view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My friend, Hon. Anami is a very outright man, but I am afraid that he is moving out of the Motion and is now discussing corruption in the Jubilee Government and other irrelevant issues which are not in this important Motion to this country. Can you advise or guide him appropriately on how to go about this Motion so that we can also get time to comment? view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to make my contribution to this important Motion. As many Members have made it clear, it is not important to pass these Supplementary estimates especially at the eleventh hour. Sometimes even the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the relevant Committees of this House do not get enough time to scrutinise the Supplementary Estimates, especially this second one coming one day to the close of the financial year. Therefore, as the Constitution clearly stipulates that the Supplementary Estimates should be brought two months after the money is used, as a House, we are ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Departmental Committees have an obligation to scrutinise the development expenditure on quarterly basis. The National Treasury and the Budget Office of the National Assembly should update us on quarterly basis especially on development expenditure whether the money has been released to the projects or not. We do a lot of work at the committee level to appropriate money to different development projects in this country but at the end of the financial year, we do not see this money going to the projects. When we ask the relevant Ministries, they say that the problem is with the Exchequer. Therefore, as ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, moving forward, these are issues that need to be looked at. I was happy when the Chairman said that one of the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is to look at the scorecard of every Ministry. This is very important because we will, on a quarterly basis, scrutinise ministries’ scorecard which will be the scorecard of the Government.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I support and also state that, as the Executive reorganises the Government, it is important to check, after the adjustments, whether the relevant Government departments are aligned with our Standing Orders so that the rightful Committees can oversee the running of these ministries, especially Water and Irrigation. As Hon. Amina put it, it is important that the National Irrigation Board (NIB) is properly placed under the Ministry of Water. Most of the work the NIB does is water infrastructure. Therefore it is important to align that department with the Ministry of Water. Regional Authorities is another State department which has ... view
