• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to rise under Standing Order No.96 that allows us to adjourn this meeting so that the leadership can consult for the sake of the budget-making process. Let us get time so that both sides of the House can come up with the names they want. We cannot personalize this issue. The issue has been raised before. We were to have a view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: here but it never took place. Some Members have decided to take us for a ride by bringing the same names knowing very well that, if we do not pass these names today, the debate can only come after six months. So, the best option for us is to use Standing Order No. 96 and adjourn debate. The House can adjourn debate and be convened again to discuss this matter. With those few remarks, I support. Thank you. Let us adjourn debate. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to support this Motion as amended. If we look at what happened in the Judiciary, we will find that the money they were given was voted by the National Assembly. They did not have a structure on how to spend the Kshs16 billion they were given. Out of the Kshs16 billion they got, they were supposed to use Kshs1.3billion in a month and they were supposed to use Kshs44 million in a single day. As Parliament that carries out the budget process we need to check when we are voting monies ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: If you look at all these issues, you will find that the challenge which is facing this country is that ministries are being allocated money without scrutinising whether they have the ability to use those funds. That is why we have issues at the National Youth Service (NYS). Scrutiny was not done to confirm that it could use the money. They even had to lease a new space for the Court of Appeal and money was paid before the premises were completed. They did this and yet they did not analyse and understand whether they actually needed extra space or ... view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: only Kshs3 billion. That money was increased by Kshs13 billion. They were surviving on the Kshs3 billion budget. So, we need to re-examine our role as the National Assembly. As we prepare the next Budget, we should ensure that ministries confirm to this House that they have the ability and have put in place structures to use the funds. If we do not do that we will allocate money to various ministries and it will not be spent. Therefore, it will be allocated elsewhere, or if it is spent it will be spent wrongly. As the National Assembly, we need ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is the Member in order because what happens is that the Chief Justice recommends who is going to be the accounting officer? The National Treasury then appoints--- view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: That is what it is. The National Treasury appoints. Let us get it clear here. Is the Hon. Member in order? view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. It is not fair for a Member of this Committee to mislead the House. It was the JSC which sanctioned the payment. They held a special meeting. It is in the Report. Therefore, it is not fair for a Member to mislead the House. For one reason or the other, he has either forgotten or he did not attend the meeting. He is coming up with his own ideas. It was very clear that initially they rejected, but finally they approved and called the entire Commission to approve the payment. view
