• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I wish to heartily congratulate my sister, Sen. Shiyonga for the wonderful achievement she received. I have known Sen. Shiyonga for the period we have been here only; but I have only known her for the wonderful approaches to development. I am very much aware and I am hoping to accompany her to go and open a house that she built for a widowed woman and mother who does not have anywhere to stay. Therefore, when I heard about this achievement, I said that, surely, somebody has seen her. In ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the adoption of this report on the financial operations of the county executives for Financial Year 2014/2015. I start by congratulating the Committee for doing an excellent analysis of the report from the Auditor-General. The analysis has made far-reaching recommendations on various counties. It has exposed the performance of our governors in many ways. I would like to touch on a few that affect my county of Uasin Gishu. One of the observations by the Committee which bothered me was that county governments are not submitting documents ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: money in the right way? If your expenditure is as per the budget, why would you not submit the documents? The other observation that was extremely worrying, to me, is something called unsurrendered imprest. When we have unsurrendered imprest running into millions of shillings, you ask yourself; is there an accounts department in our counties? Do we have accounts departments that actually watch and inspect their own books to ensure that any officer who is given an imprest comes to surrender it? More worrying is an observation by the Committee that other than the issue of unsurrendered imprest, members of ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: executive in the counties believe that there is no need to account to anybody? How can we put them on track so that accountability is part of our life? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the laws that we have are supposed to put us on track. We do not need any other law to put us on track. I thank the Committee because they are very clear on matters they think that concerned officers should be prosecuted on. They have also stated that imprest must be paid by the concerned officers whether they are in office or not. The Report is ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: ensure that the public has put in the right inputs, then they are supposed to monitor the expenditure itself. Do the MCAs have the capacity to do all that? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I believe that the Committee observed very well that the capacity of our MCAs must be built, they have given the job to the wrong group. The report by the CPAIC states that the National Government entities should give the MCAs capacity. I think we need to design another way of building capacity of the MCAs. The Senate must come up with a structured policy of ... view
