• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: input from members of the public as well as additional submission and memorandum from other bodies. For this, we are truly grateful. Noting the importance of having a people responsive Budget, the Committee has taken these submissions into account in the finalisation of the final Budget. Public participation is budget requirement of the law but we believe it is very important and we need to make sure that, that participation is not in vain and this year we have made sure that it is, indeed, not the case. Having considered the above matters, my Committee proposes the following policy recommendations; ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: provision of sanitary towels to school girls should be implemented through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund for effective monitoring and evaluation. The Budget and Appropriations Committee also proposes the following financial recommendations: With respect to reallocations, many Departmental Committees proposed reallocations which were based on their assessment of needs and were also based on the discussions that these Committees held with the various MDAs. After a careful review, the Budget Committee has approved and recommended, to the largest extent possible, to this honourable House, those shown under the Second Schedule as hereby attached. In addition, we have agreed with ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: (c) Approve that the National Treasury finalises the required Budget document as per the Public Finance Management Act on detailed Budget Estimates. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Departmental Committees and all the members of those Committees who have participated in these meetings as they have overseen the various MDAs. We take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work, especially coming at a time when other political undertakings were on. Party considerations and the need to get re- elected notwithstanding, they showed a lot of dedication and commitment to make sure that Parliament ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am happy to concur. My only problem is that we are acting outside the law and the laid down procedure. The law is very clear as to how amendments must come to this House. We spent a lot of time whether we were dealing with the Supplementary Estimates, sitting with chairs of Committees, agreeing on the amendments or sitting with the National Treasury for long hours. We did the same on this current Budget. I find it a bit odd that my very good friend, the Member from Murang’a, would bring an amendment to the Floor of ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: because it is a reallocation although there are some inherent challenges, but it is just the procedure. If we make the law, we should follow the law. I would have thought that the better way to approach it, if I may advise the Member for Murang’a and her Vice-Chair, the Member for Tinderet, is that there is a lot of unanticipated expenditure we will have to go through in the next financial year. Some of those matters are better done through supplementary budgets. I made that case. I think there will be at least one or two supplementary budgets in ... view
• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I can confirm that this matter never came to my Committee. I saw it for the first time in the House this afternoon. view

• 23 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, the Senate Amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 2 of 2017) be now considered. view
• 23 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: The enactment of the Division of Revenue Bill is critical in setting the stage for the preparation of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which will inform the preparation of respective county budget documents in a manner that is timely and enables fiscal clarity. Given the revised Budget calendar due to the August General Election this year, the early conclusion and subsequent enactment of the Division of Revenue Bill will enable the counties to carry on with their budgeting process. As you are aware, in accordance with Article 218 of the Constitution, the National Assembly considered and passed the Division ... view
