• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The focus of the hearings was to use the information when reviewing key policy and budgetary documents including the Budget Review and Outlook Paper submitted to Parliament by 30th September. This is as well as the Budget Policy Statement, which was submitted by 15th February together with the Division of Revenue Bill. Through this process, the Committee received invaluable input from the public which has been instrumental in arriving at the vertical allocation of resources as proposed in the Division of Revenue Bill, 2015. Having considered the Bill and in order to provide guidelines to the relevant spending units in ... view

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I take this opportunity to acknowledge all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. They have given invaluable input into the Bill, which will not only enrich it, but also benefit the policy makers. I believe they are listening to us. A number of issues have been raised and it is needless to repeat them. Concerns have been raised with respect to some functions being performed by the county governments and, in particular, the issue of health. This is one of the sectors that have many challenges. Therefore, it begs the question whether allocations to ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I call upon oversight bodies, namely, the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Public Accounts Committee, the Public Investments Committee, the Controller of Budget, the Auditor-General and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. Some of them are the biggest beneficiaries of this Budget. We shall be looking at that when we will be examining the Estimates of the National Government. We want to see the presence of the Controller of Budget in the counties. She should be aiding them in developing their budgets and supporting them in prioritising the needs of the people in those counties. They should also be ensuring that ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The Auditor-General has also been capacitated enough and the office needs to enhance the oversight mandate. We also want to see timely reports to this House. Members are concerned with issues of efficiency, transparency, effectiveness, appropriation and administration of those funds. We want to tell the governors that Kenyans want timely delivery. They want to see services closer to them. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have given them money. In the last financial year, the Budget and Appropriations Committee suffered the wrath of the people because information on the criteria and rationale of how the money was divided was distorted. We were at a loss even in trying to defend ourselves in some of the fora. I am impressed that this financial year, the allocation to the counties has been enhanced from Kshs226 billion to Kshs258 billion – an increase of Kshs43.3 billion or 17 per cent. We want governors to perform. We want to see tangible projects on the ground. We ... view
