• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: before assemblies. If the county assembly is a legislative authority at the county level, why should we deny them that power and right to summon a Governor? A Governor only appears before a county assembly when there are impeachment proceedings against him. What kind of oversight is that, that takes away the powers of county assemblies? view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: There was the recent decision that said that county assemblies should oversight own-source revenue while Senate oversights nationally allocated revenue. As I had mentioned last week when I presented the Report of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee we consider that view to be obiter dicta, and we are not compelled to comply with it. In our view, it poses serious practical challenges of implementation. When you look at the judgment and the subsequent orders that came from the court, the issue on Own Source Revenue (OSR) did not form part of the final orders. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Senate Sessional Committee on Public Accounts and Investments on the Fiduciary Risk Report on audit issues by County Governments for the Financial Years 2012/13 to 2015/16. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to inform the House that this Report can be found on the online portal. It is called e-Parliament. It is a 78-page Report. Previously, we were used to getting hard copies of the report on the clerks’ Table. However, I wish to inform Members that they can peruse ... view

• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I actually did it, but not with all the words that are there. Allow me to do it properly. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Senate Sessional Committee on Public Accounts and Investments on the Fiduciary Risk Report on audit issues by County Governments for the Financial Years 2012/13 to 2015/16 laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 10th July, 2019.

• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have indicated that this Report is available on the online platform. Since Members are competent to read the Report, I will only cover about five issues. The other Members of the Committee will support me on the other issues. In the past five years, the Office of the Auditor-General has submitted to Parliament about 235 reports for county executives,141 reports for county assemblies and more than 1,000 county funds and corporation reports. In total, the Auditor-General has submitted more than 1,300 reports to this House. The Controller of Budget has also submitted 20 quarterly reports ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: It is our view - we have expressed it in the past - that we either expand the mandate of the Parliamentary Budget Office to cover parliamentary audit and scrutiny, or establish another body that could be referred to as a parliamentary audit office to do the same. It will consist of a team of technicians and analysts that will support the work of the oversight Committees of this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to highlight some of the risks that have been identified in that Report. In the first three years of devolution, counties were generally not ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, another example of a case that we have looked at where there is inconsistence with the law, is a circular by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) that limits the capacity of vehicles that county governors and their executives are allowed to purchase. Governors are defining that circular with serious impunity. There are counties where governors have made orders that they need a 5600 centimetres cubed vehicle whereas the guidelines put it at a cap of 3000 centimetres cubed. Is that guideline practical? If it is practical, then no governor should appear before The electronic version ... view
