• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I also take this opportunity on behalf of the Committee and myself to thank all the stakeholders for their submissions written and otherwise. I thank the Members of this honourable House and especially their work through the Committees, not least the Committee Chairpersons who acquainted themselves honourably in the task that they have been given with respect to the BPS. I thank you, hon. Speaker, and your Office, for guiding this process as, indeed, you do all the other processes, I thank the Clerk of the National Assembly and the Parliamentary Budget Office under the very able leadership of Mrs. ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Further, the Budget Policy Statement does not clearly indicate the status of the output and the key targets that were supposed to be achieved in the 2014/2015 financial year probably due to lack of a clear framework on monitoring and evaluation. Thirdly, as we talk about compliance and time constraints, the National Treasury needs to give us this document earlier. We have said this before. We are working under pressure cooker conditions to get this document ready. I thank you for indulging us in giving us a bit more time so that we can prosecute this matter today. It is ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: expenditure from recurrent to capital expenditure, no such measure have been implemented to date. Indeed, the total expenditure reduction strategy appears to be a moving target. That is unfortunate. The danger of ballooning public expenditure is that it is likely to increase the Government’s appetite for borrowing, which will not only increase the level of public debt to unsustainable levels but also reduce credit access by the private sector, making it very difficult for the private enterprise to thrive. As we all know, it is the private sector that drives any economy. With respect to governance and oversight institutions, my ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thought that this is something that hon. Midiwo might be pleased to know. We propose, in the Budget Policy Statement, that the Office of the Auditor- General and the EACC get an extra Kshs750 million each. This is one of the resolutions we arrived at when we were in Mombasa two weeks ago. It is important that these institutions are strong because it appears that we are rather low on values, as a society. It is very important that the oversight institutions are strong and able to bite, and not just bark. Hon. Speaker, with respect to ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: to achieve them. For instance, no measures have been proposed to rationalise public expenditure in order to remove overlaps and wastage. The National Government has been undertaking leasing without a clear policy, though it targets to develop one in this financial year. The link between the pillars and commensurate resource allocation does not provide a clear picture on whether the strategic interventions provided are supported by the resources allocated. In addition, the linkage between the pillars and the programmes appears to be weak. Furthermore, IFMIS is yet to be fully operationalised in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and especially in ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: and road networks, navigable waterways, modern and efficient ports and harbours, expansion of handling capacity in order to reduce cost in doing business in our harbours, enhanced competitiveness and a real commitment, especially by the President who is leading from the front, to get this country transformed to become a hub in every single way in this region. That is commendable but we would like to see some of the Vision 2030 flagship projects begin to move. We are glad to learn that the Lamu Port and Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport ( LAPSSET ) is getting attention and other Vision 2030 ... view
