• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In keeping with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and our Standing Orders, my Committee, in its meeting held today, 18th June 2015, requested that the various proposed amendments be referred to the relevant Departmental Committees for review and consideration. In this regard, I request you to allow me to table the letter containing the amendments for conveyance to the relevant Departmental Committees even before the Bill is read the First Time in view of the tight timelines. May I also request, through you, that those Committees submit their recommendations to the Budget and Appropriations Committee on ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Speaker, you are aware that this House has been on the receiving end of much analysis in recent days. We have been accused of political tyranny, parochial vindictiveness and gangland execution of people’s careers. In particular, yesterday, the Senate had a special sitting to discuss a certain amount of money that we re-allocated using our discretion, as carefully as we normally do. Therefore, on behalf of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, I wish to give this House a statement with respect to the adjustments of the 2015/16 Budget Estimates to finance the Kshs3.3 billion budget proposed by the ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the role and mandate of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is to ensure fiscal prudence and efficiency in allocation and use of public resources. In this regard, my Committee considers every proposal submitted by the Judiciary, Parliament and the National Executive, in light of how it affects the macro-economic environment. This is important because to transform the economy into an all inclusive one, with reduced poverty and access to quality basic services by all our people, we must aim at achieving a stable economic climate. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In light of the above, as soon as this House adopted the Report of the Mediation Committee – I thank them for doing so, because failure to do so would have been absolutely calamitous – my Committee incorporated the measures into the Budget Estimates. We then had the sacred duty of looking for the Kshs3.3 billion. The Committee used the following criteria to guide its adjustments in the Budget proposals:- 1. absorptive capacity of the spending agencies; 2. targets and outputs of the year; 3. the hard Budget constraints; in other words, the need to adhere to macro-economic framework to ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With regard to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the reasons that led us to adjust the institution’s Estimates, or to recommend adjustments to this House, was the fact that substantial resources were voted to this Commission through the Supplementary Estimates II for the Financial Year 2014/2015. The Supplementary Estimates have yet to come to this House. The allocations to the SRC in the Financial Year 2014/2015 have been escalated by 91 per cent, from Kshs441 million to Kshs840 million. The additional funds will be used to undertake the job evaluation exercise. The bulk of the allocation for the institution ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: With respect to the National Treasury Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS), the adjustment was made as informed by the fact that the Public Accounts Committee (PIC) is still in the process of auditing the expenses of this particular project. The function has been allocated Kshs1.9 billion. Some issues were raised here last week, by some hon. Members who are familiar with the IFMIS. We recommended a reduction of Kshs325 million. On the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), which is the matter at issue, the Budget and Appropriations Committee was aware that some people had questioned why the proposed fund was ... view
