• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is correct but the content in both documents is exactly the same. I want to seek your indulgence. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will try to be as concise as possible. Let me start with the issue of the Kshs33 million. In the Statement, I have clearly said that these are expenditure items which have been identified as being either potentially ineligible for reimbursement from the proceeds of the World Bank credit or they could be eligible. I said that the validation process is ongoing and when it is finalized and the final status report on this aspect will be out in two weeks time, then we shall be in a better position to explain whether there was misappropriation ... view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to also point out that an issue has been raised by hon. Midiwo that we adopt the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) approach. These are some of the issues that are informing the design of KKV II; apparently, it has come out that it can be designed better, so that we get more value for money. Some of the concerns or positive experiences under CDF are also going to be taken on board when considering the roll out of KKV II. view

This could range from allowances for the staff members, logistical support and so forth. These are aspects that normally fall under the counterpart funding. There is usually a formula that can then be used by the donor agency on how to trigger off the sufficient counterpart funding for the exercise. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: There are several line Ministries; I cannot name all of them but in the document I have given here there are quite a number of Ministries that have been lined up as potential implementers of this programme. Some are the Ministry of Medical Services, Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Roads, Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. They are in the documentation that I have given out. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir, I want to categorically state at this stage that, and this is what hon. Odhiambo-Mabona said, at this stage you cannot categorically say that there is fraud or no fraud. I think that can come out specifically on the basis of an audit report. So, once we go into the details of the 14 expenditure items that I have mentioned, then we will be able to verify whether there was fraud or whether it is an accounting or entry issue that needs to be rectified. view
