• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We need PPP to roll out that road. We are more than ready to pay toll charges on that particular section of the road. That is one area which we are calling upon the Government to be very serious about so that we do not go the easy route of going to a commercial bank to get a loan for a project which the private sector can do. If we do that, we will get into trouble like the one we have read in the newspapers today. Those dams should have been constructed by the private sector. view

• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to second the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. This Bill is in cognisance of the fact that after we passed the Budget in June, our Government realised that it is not able to raise all the revenues required - including borrowings - to finance that Budget. You know the question of Budget is a matter of this House. It is written by this House and it is proposed by the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Budget and Appropriations Committee which we lead. Most of the time, there is disconnect between the expenditure side which we pass in June and the revenue raising measures. We remember what went on about a month ago in terms of the proposed revenue measures by the Government. It is the reason that we are here today, to reduce our expenditure by Kshs55 billion so that the revenue the Government raises will be able to meet such expenditure. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: You will also note that it is the policy of Government and other multilateral agencies which we deal with, that our borrowing or the fiscal deficit should not exceed 5.6 per cent. When we passed the Budget in June, the fiscal deficit was huge, close to 7 per cent. This was not going to auger well for this nation. To justify the reason we are cutting expenditure by Kshs55 billion, we are to maintain the fiscal deficit at 5.7 per cent. Even with the deficit, in real terms, you will realise that Government is going to borrow to finance this ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I beg Members to pass this Bill this week so that everyone can start to access money. At the moment, they are not able to access much of the allocations made to them because this Bill is before this House. The very popular fund which we succeeded in ensuring that it receives adequate resources will be able to receive its funding properly after we pass this Appropriation Bill. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Equally, the county governments are anxiously waiting for this House to process this Appropriation Bill. Of importance, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Members of this House appreciate the role being played by the Judiciary in ensuring that we all adhere to the laws of this country. In the Supplementary Budget and through this Appropriation Bill, we have enhanced the funding to Judiciary by Kshs1.5 billion. The Judiciary, through the Chief Justice and his team, came before the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we agreed that it is true that the Judiciary needs more money and it is the only ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: realised a gain of a whole Kshs1.5 billion shillings so that they can dispense their services to Kenyans very fast and promptly. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We shall be calling the NG-CDF Board now that I know Members will be able to process this Appropriation Bill by tomorrow, that they promptly disburse funding to constituencies. I know how anxious Members are. We are in the Financial Year, 2018/2019 and your proposals have not been approved by the board. That is because of the uncertainty in terms of the amounts each constituency is supposed to get. Immediately this Bill is passed, the team at the National Treasury should send monies to the NG-CDF Board. This is the only fund which makes sense in this country. This is ... view
