• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to support the Report of the PIC. Allow me to commend the work that has been done by the Committee together with the assistance of the Auditor-General, to make sure that we get the people that we needed to examine. I want to support many of the Hon. Members who have supported this Report because such reports will see the light of day in this House because we are looking at money and properties that belong to the people of this country. The Chair and Members of the Committee ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Allow me to mention about the land issues mentioned in the Report. If you look at many of the State corporations they have land issues in two ways. Some do not have the title deeds to show that they own their land and others have irregular transfers. In this country, we know that land is scarce and if many State corporations do not have title deeds to show ownership of land, it means we are opening this for abuse by land grabbers who have a very high appetite for land in this country. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I would suggest that we support the recommendations put forward by the Committee so that we can see to it that transfer of land that has been done illegally is corrected and fast- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: tracked. I also want to comment on the issue of the delays we have in appointment of CEOs and managers. We found that in many State corporations, their compositions are not up-to-date. Therefore, there is no reason as to why a CEO can be in acting capacity for more than a year. That is why I support the Committee’s recommendations that if anyone is in acting capacity for more than a year then automatically, they qualify to be the CEO of that State corporation. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We also need to support the Committee when they come up with the recommendation that the Cabinet Secretary and the Chair of NLC put a caveat on State corporations’ lands that are owned by private individuals. I am saying this because we need to ensure that these lands are not abused. If left this way, automatically, we may find by the end of the day, they may not be in the hands of the State corporations as they declare their assets. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When we were looking at the Report, we found that there were many variations of tender documents. This is an area we found to be highly abused by the top officials in State corporations together with other cartels to rob the public money. We found a contract was given, then it was delayed and at long last, it cost billions of shillings. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: That is why we get concerned when people complain about the cost of putting in place the two-thirds gender principle. It will only take Kshs.282 million at the end of the year when in State corporations we are losing billions and millions of shillings. Therefore, we need to look at the integrity of the people we appoint. We should look at their academic credentials so that we can fight the cartels that are in these State corporations. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, it is good that the area of implementation is really taken care of. If at all we write all these recommendations and the House adopts the Reports that we usually bring here… view
