• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Through you, I would like to thank all the hon. Members for their very positive and helpful contributions. We have noted what they have said and we are very grateful. I cannot, as you can imagine, respond to all the issues that have been raised, but allow me to say that the Budget and Appropriations Committee is there to serve all the spending agencies created by the new Constitution and the laws that we make. We do so in good faith and without fear or favour. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Let me speak to the point that was made by hon. Samuel Chepkong’a, which has to do with the reallocation of Kshs500 million from the Judiciary to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the State Law Office. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This was certainly done in good faith. I do not really want to repeat myself. We have lawyers employed by the Government and the State Law Office is a Government office. The DPP and the Judiciary are also Government offices. You cannot have Government officers earning different salaries while their training is the same and their levels of performance, we believe, are the same. So, there is a problem there and that was what the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs was seeking to address and we supported it. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Let me also say that we have adopted all the recommendations that came to us, including that of Kshs40 million that we were talking about here. That was a recommendation of the Committee that we adopted and brought to the Floor of the House. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I take this opportunity to send another plea again - maybe it is just my institutional background - I think we need to have strict discipline in the management of committee work, be more institutional and be committed. When we are appointed to be members of committees or chairs of committees for that matter in the new structure, it is an enormous responsibility and we must put in hours. We must also make sure that we do the work that we need to do. This is because, as the hon. Member for Suba rightly said, a The electronic version of ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: money Bill cannot be brought to the Floor of the House. We create the time for all what needs us. I really plead that, that opportunity be used as much as possible. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, as I end and with regard to the strong argument put on the need to support defence, agriculture and interns; if you check my report, you will see that the one expression that I repeated over and over again is; “the Supplementary Budget proposes”. So, this is a Budget from the National Treasury and it is not a Budget from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Once the National Treasury proposes, we give it to the committees to do the necessary reallocation because we are not supposed to exceed the ceiling. That is what we respect and we ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I hope that when the Supplementary Budget Bill comes to the Floor of the House, some of the very valid arguments made with regard to defence, agriculture, interns, the CDF and so on will be looked at. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Indulge me, hon. Deputy Speaker, as I close to also take this opportunity to inform the Chairs that we are expecting them tomorrow from 9.00 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. to consider their contribution with regard to the Budget Policy Statement, which we shall bring to the Floor of this House on Tuesday at 2.30 p.m. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: With as many grand children and with as many remarks, I beg to reply. view
