• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: I appeal to the Senators whose counties have been mentioned in this Motion to take some interest in the recommendations of the Committee. I thank Sen. Poghisio for pointing out the issues that he has identified with regard to West Pokot which is the county that he represents. It is important that Senators be part of the proceedings of the CPAIC. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: during our meetings. That way, they will be in a much better position to understand the issues raised by the Auditor-General, the manner in which the CPAIC deals with them and the recommendations that need to be put in place. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: If we had time and the good Senator for Nairobi City County was around, we would have illustrated how Nairobi City County Government borrowed Kshs5 billion from Equity Bank Kenya Limited many years ago. The money was meant for budgetary support. The County Government defaulted on the loan raising the interest from 14 to 24 per cent. You will not believe it but Nairobi City County Government is servicing a loan at an interest rate of 24 per cent. We have 10 of the 24 per cent that the bank calls “penal interest” because the County Government has defaulted on ... view

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: As I move this Motion, it is important to bring to the attention of Members of this august House that the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) has been working round the clock to ensure that reports are brought to the House. The interesting departure from other parliaments within the Westminster is that, for example, in the House of Commons, once the Public Accounts Committee makes recommendations and pronounces itself, those recommendations are binding. They are actionable and what remains is implementation. In our scenario, the CPAIC, being an agent of this House, is required to report back to ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: responsible. We have resolved, as Members of the CPAIC, that where there is violation of law and financial impropriety. The governor, being the CEO of a county, must be held jointly liable with the other accounting officers. Our understanding, as Members of the CPAIC, is that the governor is not just the CEO, but also the chief accounting officer. There are governors who argue that because they do not do the day-to-day approvals and they do not have the authority to incur expenditure, they should, therefore, not be held liable. That, in our view, is not an accurate interpretation of ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nandi County spent another Kshs5.6 million to plant trees. When the Auditor-General went to Nandi, there were no records of the Kshs5.6 million spent on tree planting to show that procurement procedures were complied with. Indeed, there were no trees to be seen. The governors have been coming to us, and blaming God for some of these things. Therefore, when they spent Kshs5.6 million to plant trees and there is no tree as evidence that the money was properly spent, they blame it on God. They say that God did not send rain, and they say ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another Kshs10.9 million was spent on a trip by Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) to Uganda, and imprest procedures were not followed. Another Kshs8.13 million was spent on bursaries without procedures being followed. To make matters worse, revenue was collected from hospitals and spent at source. view
