• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: The Appropriation Bills will be debated tomorrow. The funds have been provided for in the Appropriation Bills under the care of the national Government, but which agencies? I request the Budget and Appropriations Committee to tell us who are going to administer these funds? Will they be under the national Government or county governments? If these questions are not answered, we cannot debate it. I have looked at the page on which the purpose of a Bill is normally indicated, but it is missing. The Collection Fund Appropriation Bill, 2017 makes provisions for sanction. We have so far spent some ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: This money has been used. They are telling the House to pass money that has been used and yet there is no evidence it has been used. With those few remarks, I oppose it. Thank you. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this Budget. I have a serious concern. While we are showing very good figures in our Budget; a figure of Kshs2.6 trillion, in reality, it is based on high economic activities, increased revenue collection from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and an economic growth of more than 6 per cent on the GDP. When you look at these issues keenly, you will realise that the Budget is not realistic. We are going through an election year and, therefore, economic activities will be hindered. We are experiencing drought ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Budget. I have always said so. It is the National Assembly which allocates funds and the Executive gives us the Budget. Once you have allocated money, it is used. There has been talk everywhere that one has to be in the Government in order to get development projects in his or her area. I want to tell my colleagues here and people out there that funds are allocated in the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya and that is what we are doing today. We are now in the budget-making process. We approve funds here. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I have looked at another area, the area of sanitary towels for girls in primary and secondary schools. My colleagues here said that money has been allocated to that item. The money has been reduced. An amount of Kshs400 million has been reduced in the State Department of Planning and Statistics. An amount of Kshs400 million has also been reduced in the State Department of Basic Education. This is meant to touch the poor in society. My colleague was saying here that the money has been increased. I do not know where he was reading because clearly, the money has ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Jubilee. However, funds are allocated by the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya and that is what we are doing here today. So, this propaganda must come to an end. view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Upgrading of slum areas is a key area. About Kshs450 million has been removed for that programme. How do we reduce poverty and create equity if we reduce money for upgrading of slums? We just removed Kshs450 million. I have talked about the police where money has been reduced. I am talking about upgrading of slum areas where money has been removed. Overall, you try to look at the growth of our national debt from 2013 to date and it is so huge. Therefore, there is need for us to be more realistic and pass a Budget which we can ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would urge the Committee that will be there, since there will be another Committee and if the Chair comes back and is honoured to be the Chairman again, that they will need to audit and check the performance of Ministries that they have given money to ensure that it is prudently used before they allocate more money to them. I was in France the other day and they have a Committee on Finance and Budget, chaired by the Opposition and they share information. They check whether the money they allocated the previous financial ... view
• 23 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am in total agreement with it. The Constitution is very clear. Article 95(4)(a) of the Constitution states: “(a) determines the allocation of national revenue between the levels of government, as provided in Part 4 of Chapter Twelve:” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: This mandate is given to the National Assembly. Nowhere does it mention that the Senate can perform this function. It is very clear. The only role the Senate can play is to allocate funds. Article 96(3) of the Constitution states: “The Senate determines the allocation of national revenue among counties, as provided in Article 217, and exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the county governments.” It is very clear that the Senate is supposed to oversee and allocate the money which the National Assembly has approved. Therefore, I do not understand why the Budget and Appropriations Committee must take ... view
