• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we know, this country has come a long way. We have come from a history where the budgetary process was top secret in the Treasury. You may recall one time when an Assistant Minister from Bungoma County was dismissed for talking about the Budget two hours before it was tabled in the House. We have moved from that. Kenyans are now involved in Budget making. Parliament is involved in Budget making and this is the new Kenya. This is the new dispensation. The Minister has informed the House that disbursements will be done expeditiously. He ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The procurement law remains a major impediment in the absorption capacities of all Government organs. Funds are allocated and our current procurement law looks at the process and not the end. As long as the convoluted process is followed, it matters not what you get at the end. In the process, the tendering, preconditions and so on, make it absolutely difficult for sometimes very simple projects to take off. I want to suggest that the Minister assures this House that his next agenda on his path of reform that is so impressive is to realign the procurement law with the ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: We are going to a devolved government in this country and because of lack of capacity some of those devolved units may not even be absorbing half of the money, not because they cannot, but because the procurement process makes it difficult for them to achieve what they want to achieve. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to point out to the Minister that if this economy has to grow; if we have to achieve our Vision 2030, we must pay attention to matters of economic activities anchored on trade. Our external trade, our internal trade and our regional trade must be capacitated to grow. I want to opine that the amount of money allocated to the Ministry of Trade does not go far enough in helping the Ministry engineer the external trade, the internal trade and all other activities related thereto. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Lastly, I want to point out that on R168, page 1815, the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties is given a specific allocation yet we know that that Office is an Office within the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). So, why is it being budgeted for independently or independent of its parent body, unless this is the money that is going to be distributed to political parties? If it is, then we will require absolute transparency, accountability and equity in the distribution of those funds. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the idea of releasing the Constituencies Development Fund ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: I want to thank the House for agreeing to the process of sending the Bill to the Committee so that we get better informed in the line of transparency, accountability and openness that the new Constitution has brought to this Country. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support the Memorandum. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in returning this Bill and clause to this House, the President is, in fact, shaping his legacy as a man who gave true meaning to constitutional democracy to this country. If we do not respect parties that sponsored us to come to this House, then we are being politically immoral. We cannot talk about integrity when we have Members of this House who stood for elections, lost and were nominated by parties and then, they abandoned those parties and said that they were dead. The President is ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, is the hon. Member in order to cast such aspersions when I am seeking the presidency of this country not to drag the country through mercy or lack of it, but through the Constitution and the rule of law? view
