(4) The breaches in the debt thresholds in terms of exports indicate increased vulnerability of public debt to export and financing shocks. It is clear from the cost and risks analysis of the current public debt portfolio that- (1) Depreciation of Kenya shilling against major currencies increased the nominal debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio to 70.8 per cent in June 2023 from ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I refer the witness to page 65 of the DG’s bundle. I can see you transferred Kshs70,000, three times on the same 28th. You had a handsome balance in the account, why did you not transfer the whole Kshs500,000 that evening through your account? Secondly, you said this debt which you were paying to Dr. Monda you borrowed the money in 2022. Is that not so? When was the last time you visited Dr. Monda before you went to his house on 28th May, 2023?

Spika, najiunga nawe pamoja na Sen. Sifuna kuwakaribisha wanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi. Nilikuwa mwanafunzi katika chuo hicho miaka 34 iliyopita. Kwa hivyo, hata nami najivunia kuwa mmoja wa waliosoma katika chuo hicho.

Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia Ripoti ya Kamati ya Seneti inayohusiana na masuala ya uwekezaji na hazina maalum. Kwanza, naunga mkono Ripoti hii. Ni jambo la kusikitisha kwamba kaunti zetu zinadaiwa takriban Ksh80 bilioni. Hizo ni pesa za wale ambao wamestaafu na kwa sasa hawana mapato ya kila mwezi. Kaunti ya Mombasa ambayo nawakilisha inadaiwa Ksh9.43 bilioni. Jambo hili linaathiri kila mtu. Hata wale ambao wako kazini kwa sasa, uwezo wao wa kufanya kazi umeathirika kwa sababu mtu hajui akistaafu kama atapata malipo yake mapema au la. Niliwahi kufanya mkutano na County Public Service Board (CPSB) ya ...
