• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Report on the nominees of the CBK Board. I take this opportunity, first of all, to thank the President for nominating women. Out of five nominees, three are women. This is the way forward for this country. If you look at the CVs of the women, you will realise that we have very qualified economists like Nelius Kariuki. We have Charity Kisotu, who is from a marginalised community and very qualified. We have Rachel Dzombo, who rose to the level of Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: make sure that there is restructuring. The board will assist the Governor to carry out his duties. This is a well-thought out list of nominees. It is high time we, Parliamentarians, stopped thinking in terms of tribalism. That it is only when I have a Mtaveta in the list, that I would get excited. It is important for us to be Kenyans. Since we are in the 11th Parliament, coming in elected after the new Constitution, we should embrace all Kenyans. At the devolved units, we have places where people can conduct meetings at the executive level in their mother ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Public Private Partnerships (Amendment) Bill, 2016 be now read a Second Time. view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The provision of public infrastructure, including power, road, rail, sea and airports, and services, including water, health and sanitation is a key mandate of governments the world over. These public goods are fundamental prerequisites for economic growth and development. Fiscal constraints experienced by countries, however, have resulted in the development of new and innovative approaches to the provision and financing of public infrastructure and services. Kenya adopted a public-private partnership (PPP) framework reflecting the Government’s desire to improve the quality, quantity, cost-effectiveness and timely provision of much-needed public infrastructure and services in Kenya. The private provision of public infrastructure and ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: design or management of a project, or for the provision of public services undertaken as a PPP. This new section comprehensively deals with instances where the Act applies. The amendment contained in Clause 4 introduces a new Section 3A which expressly exempts the contracts under the Act from the requirements of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. Clause 5 of the Bill seeks to amend Section 15 of the Act by including county governments as one of the entities that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) shall make rules for with regard to its relationship with the unit. Previously, the ... view
• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to assure all Hon. Members that the proposal in the Bill complies with the provisions of the Constitution and recognises the two levels of Government and it is important that there are amendments proposed in this Bill. If we approve the amendments proposed in this Bill, we will immensely improve the operations and regulations of these public private partnerships in this country. I beg to move and ask Hon. Benjamin Langat to second. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda. Nakubaliana na Mwenyekiti wa Kamati hii kwamba sheria ilioko isibadilishwe ili wananchi wajulishwe matumizi ya pesa za umma kupitia Bunge hili ili ufisadi usikuwepo na pesa zitumike inavyotakikana. Asante sana. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Nami pia nataka kupongeza Maseneta kwa kutuletea Mswada huu kuhusu shule za chekechea. Shule za chekechea zilikuwa zikichukuliwa kiholela holela hapa nchini. Mpaka mfumo wa ugatuzi ulivyokuja, shule za chekechea zikawa zikiangaliwa kama shule ambazo zina umuhimu. Mswada huu wa kutengeneza sheria ya kuwezesha shule za chekechea kujenga msingi bora kwa elimu yetu hapa nchini ni mzuri. Tukipitisha sheria hii, itawawezesha watoto wetu kuwa na mwanzo kamili ulio na msingi mzuri ili waweze kuendelea mbele. Isipokuwa watoto wetu walio shule za mjini waliokuwa wakipata elimu bora ya chekechea, Wakenya wengi kule mashinani hawakupata ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to reply. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the Members for their contributions. I would also like to emphasise the importance of those amendments because they are going to make sure that the Executive works as per their constitutional mandate. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Health did not have a major role to play, considering that the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Act of 1988 did not foresee the coming in of a new Constitution. It also did not allow the CS to make appointments to the board so that people ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the PIC on the audited financial statements of State Corporations, which was tabled in this House. It is obvious that there is carelessness with the management of some of these parastatals. It does not make sense for a CEO, whether with or without a board to apportion money as if it is personal money. It is taxpayers’ money. It is obvious that the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) has refused to carry out its mandate because it is supposed to ensure that pension schemes in this country are ... view
