• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: provision of Kshs3.4 billion as I stated earlier from the national Government share as a specific grant to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to cater for free maternal health care to be disbursed as reimbursements. Previously, free maternity health care was reimbursed directly to the county governments but now, we have a policy shift in administration of free maternity health care where the service shall be administered through the existing NHIF framework. With respect to the conditional allocation to county governments, I wish to say that in accordance with Article 202(2) of the Constitution, we propose that there should ... view

• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: budget for a given financial year. It is also a requirement in the Public Finance Management Act; 2012, the Public Finance Management Regulations, 2015 and the relevant Standing Orders, that the document be submitted to Parliament for deliberation and eventual adoption.

The fiscal targets of that Community target a 3 per cent deficit by 2021. However, the strategy to reach this level is built on weak projections coupled with an ... view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, to reduce the deficit to a manageable level will require this country to check its appetite for borrowing, its corruption tendencies which has become a societal problem and also to begin curbing all leakages and wastages that we have seen. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: My Committee is concerned that unlike other countries in the region, this House does not approve new borrowing, but instead, the threshold is set in the Public Finance Management (PFM) regulation. To this extent, this House may need to enact legislation to ensure that any external borrowing should be brought to Parliament for review and approval before Government finalises any loan agreements. view
