  • 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to the last part of my point of order, I just wanted you to guide us. Is there precedence where you can do a minority report on an interim report? view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Standing Order 51(b) provides that- “At least every three months, a Committee Chairperson is expected to make a Statement relating to activities of the Committee.” In fulfillment of that provision, I wish to make a Statement with regard to the Senate Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments for the period commencing 20th February, 2018 to 5th December, 2018. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts and Investments is established pursuant to Standing Order 220 of the Senate Standing Orders and is mandated pursuant to Article 96(3) of the Constitution, to exercise oversight over national revenue allocated to county governments; and, pursuant to Article 229(7) and (8) of the Constitution, to examine the reports of the Auditor-General on the annual accounts of the county governments, to examine special reports if any of the Auditor-General on county government funds, to examine the reports if any of the Auditor-General on the County Public Investments and to ... view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: On county visits undertaken by the Committee, the Committee had scheduled two county visits but did not undertake them due to a loaded Committee work schedule. However, the Committee plans to undertake several county visits in the Third Session, where it will consider audit reports in the counties. Borrowing from the Senate Mashinani concept, where the Committee sat in Uasin Gishu County and considered Reports from the neighbouring counties, that would be the model that the Committee would wish to adopt in the next Session. view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: In terms of public participation, this has been limited to the inquiry into the possible loss of funds through the acquisition of LR No.78794 by the NLC. The Committee does not process Bills and, as such, public participation has been confined to inquiries or when we have county governments appearing before the Committee. view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of stakeholder engagement, I wish to report that the Committee has held a very fruitful workshop with Chairpersons of Public Account Committees (PAC) of county assemblies. This brought together PAC Chairs, Vice Chairs and the county assembly clerks sometime in May, 2018. This was a very important meeting because we sat down and came up with several resolutions. For example, we resolved that the Senate and county assemblies need to consider establishing county oversight support units to strengthen legislative oversight. view
  • 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also resolved that the Auditor-General needs to come up with a reporting model that will allow the Senate to fast track audit reporting and avoid overlaps with county assemblies. We also said that we are going to establish an annual accountability forum of the Senate Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC) and county assemblies PACs. We said that we needed to have a tripartite engagement between the Senate, county assemblies and the national Treasury to look into the issue of delays in disbursement of funds. We also recommended, at that forum, that the Senate needs to ... view
