• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Let me, hon. Chairlady, speak to these changes. With regard to the first amendment, that is Vote No.D146, this matter refers to three dams which we had allocated funds, that is, Umaa Dam in Kitui County with an allocation of Kshs.300,000,000. We are proposing to reduce that by Kshs.150,000,000. We have Chemususu Dam in Eldama Ravine, which had been allocated Kshs.400,000,000. We are proposing to reduce that by Kshs.200,000,000.

• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to Vote No.R204 and No.D204, that concerns Parliamentary Service Commission. As you are aware, there are huge constructions being undertaken by the Parliamentary Service Commission and we do not expect that the uptake will be as high as we had budgeted. Should need arise for us to review this matter, we will be willing to review it. In the case of Vote No.R204, the saving there will be Kshs.2.5 billion and with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, as I said in my reply, we have a very ambitious Budget here and one of the concerns that we have raised in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and this House has continued to raise it, is the fiscal deficit. It is very important that we try to balance our Budget. We still have a hole of about Kshs12 billion that somehow we shall have to close. Indeed, we had a meeting this morning with the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Rotich, where we were discussing these amendments that I have brought before this Committee of the whole House, on ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, as I close you may recall that we have just inaugurated a bond that has been taken up very well in the United States of America (USA) and in Europe. When we talked with the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Rotich, I think a week ago or so we asked him what were some of the concerns of the investors when they looked at our country as a place to channel their investment. He mentioned three things. He said the investors are concerned about devolution, insecurity and the financial deficit. So, this is not a small matter and so we ... view

• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. For the avoidance of doubt, let me say this: I happen to have been the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands and Natural Resources in the 10th Parliament. When the five dams were constructed; Kiserian Dam, Umaa Dam, Maruba Dam in Machakos, Badasa Dam in Marsabit and Chemsusu in Baringo, I was the Chair of that Committee. We visited those dams and we saw them when they were being inaugurated. I personally went there with Members of my Committee. Hon. Chairlady, I also want to indicate that I am aware of the problem which is being ... view
• 26 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: we said, perhaps, we should go back here. If we find that we have more money during the Supplementary Budget, in another two months, we will see what we can do to support these projects. I want to give my own word of honour; this will be my priority. Therefore, we should support this amendment. If we did not care, there would be no cent. But we care for the overall Budget of the country. Thank you, hon. Chairlady. view
