• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the outset, I want to thank this House for allowing us to have this Second Sitting so that we can prosecute the Supplementary Estimates for the Budget of 2019/2020 Financial Year. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, equally, as I move this Report, I also want to thank Members who have taken their time to exceed today’s Sitting to be available for this Second Sitting so that we can be able to finalize the third Supplementary Estimates before the end of the 2019 Financial Year - which we well know is coming to an end next week ... view

• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me read the entire Motion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Third Supplementary Estimates for the Financial Year 2019/2020, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 25th June, 2020 and, pursuant to the provisions of Article 223 of the Constitution of Kenya, Section 44 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, Public Finance Management Regulation 40 and Standing Order No.243- (i) approves an increment of the total recurrent expenditure for Financial Year 2019/2020 by ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: (iii) approves an overall increase in the total budget for Financial Year 2019/2020 by Kshs11,300,000,000 in respect of the Votes as specified; and, (iv) rejects the reallocations in the said Third Supplementary Estimates, including those intended to affect the ring-fenced funds under the Ministry of Health and necessary adjustments be made before publication of the resultant Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2020. I am contributing to that Motion. I was giving the reasons why this Third Supplementary Estimates were necessary at this time - seven days to the end of the financial year. A sum of Kshs3.4 billion is being allocated to ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is for that reason that we thought that we could push other proposals by the National Treasury to the next financial year. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that includes Kshs1.1 billion for Loiyangalani Project which we, as a Committee, did not get sufficient information from the Departmental Committee on Energy. The Chair of the Committee is here. He has promised that between now and Tuesday, he is going to give us all the information on the Loiyangalani Project. view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: There is also Kshs1.9 billion for defence. The Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations did not come to us to justify the urgency in paying Kshs1.9 billion to the Ministry of Defence seven days to the end of the Financial Year. It is for that reason that we did not approve Kshs1.9 billion for defence. view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: There is also a further amount of Kshs2.4 billion. We did not get sufficient information from the Departmental Committee or proper justification from the National Treasury for us to approve Kshs2.4 billion for Nairobi Metropolitan Services. We approved 80 per cent of the proposals by the National Treasury in this Third Supplementary Budget. What is important to Members - and you have seen it in the Motion - is Kshs3 billion which this House proposed to be ring-fenced for COVID-19 pandemic for particular hospitals. There is Kshs400 million to Moi The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH), Kshs500 million to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), another amount to Kenyatta University Hospital, a decent amount to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital in Nyanza and Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital. view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: We declined the request which required us to give Kshs1.5 billion to Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) by the National Treasury. We rejected it and stuck with the original proposal which was approved by this House during the Second Supplementary Budget. We did not see good justification that we needed to give Kshs1.5 billion to KEMSA while we know that there was a huge raid by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) there today. If we process Kshs1.5 billion to KEMSA, they will definitely not spend it in the purported purchase of reagents. Such reagents can still be purchased by KNH ... view
• 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move and invite Hon. John Mbadi to second the Motion. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
