• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I also request Hon. Patrick ole Ntutu to kindly second. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has put it very clearly. This morning, we had a meeting with the National Treasury and for the umpteenth time we sought to make it clear to them that we are getting tired of Supplementary Budgets coming here at the eleventh hour. We want to agree on a cut-off date. As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, we do not want to entertain Supplementary Budgets after 30th April of any financial year. This is because the national Government is empowered by the law to spend up to 60 days and ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Jakoyo for indulging me. I want to read from the Report that I tabled yesterday on this matter: “Article 223(5) of the Constitution, limits Supplementary Appropriation in a given Financial Year to not more than 10 per cent of the approved Budget for that year except if Parliament has approved a higher percentage. The total Supplementary Appropriation for 2014/2015 Financial Year amounts to an additional expenditure of Kshs244.2 billion, which is a 15 per cent increment from the approved Budget for 2014/2015 Financial Year.” The Motion that we shall be debating ... view

• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Article 223(5) of the Constitution allows the Executive to spend up to 10 per cent of the sum appropriated by Parliament for the financial year and, under special circumstances, with approval of the House, up to 15 per cent. This is as long as those approvals are sought from this House within two months. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Today we are not here discussing the National Youth Service (NYS) so I have no wish to be dragged into that issue. I know it is very juicy politically but that is not what we are discussing. What we are discussing is the Supplementary Budget and the special circumstance. When we asked the National Treasury, they came out clearly that it is the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). We repeat that it is the SGR and the figure requested is Kshs130 billion. The Committee that oversees the SGR is the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was at pains earlier on to explain how disappointed we are with the National Treasury with respect to Supplementary Budgets coming to us after 30th April. I made that point on my own volition and my Committee Members will bear me out that I spoke with the same feeling this morning when we met with the National Treasury and not for the first time. So, we too are not happy with Supplementary Estimates coming late. We really hope that this is the last time we are going to be put through this. As I ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member in order to get personal? That seems to be the case on the other side. I can tell you that we burnt the candle on both ends for the sake of the Kenyan people to make sure that we bring information that has integrity to this House. Is the hon. Member in order to keep dragging my name as it happens often? This is all about Mumias and ODM politics in western Kenya. Let us proceed to vote on this matter and move on. view
