• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also want to support this amendment. During an election year, you find people doing all sorts of things. The only good thing about this amendment is that it is not freezing everything. It is only that you will need approval from the National Treasury. Maybe in future, we will include a clause to specify how long it should take for such approval to be given. Otherwise, the National Treasury can decide not to approve anything. If we include a provision for the timeline within which approval should be given, it will enrich this ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I think this is right. Being an era of transparency, accountability and access to information, everything should be put in black and white. It is good that it be put on the website, so that anybody can assess the information and view it to see what the money is supposed to do. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 37 of the Bill be deleted. The justification is that the clause proposes to amend Section 123 (3) of the principal Act on the publication of the County Governments’ Debt Management Strategy by removing the requirement that a copy of the statement should be submitted to the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council. After being The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: published and publicised, the statements become public documents and anybody has the right to access them. Therefore, there is no need for us to say that we should give them a copy. They should access it because once it is published and publicised, it is a public document which everybody can access. There is no special requirement that they should be submitted to the CRA or the Intergovernmental Authority. It is ambiguous. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 42 be amended by deleting Sub-clause (b). As usual, we are in a deleting mood because we do not want to have--- view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, when you make laws, you do not want to have something big like an encyclopaedia. We are trying to make it slim, so that it is something that somebody can read and understand. The import of the deletion is that the clause proposes to amend Section 131 of the principal Act so as to limit the adjustment that county assemblies can make to Annual Estimates with regard to the Vote ceiling as approved by the county assembly in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper in Clause 42(b) to 10 per cent. This will ensure adherence to what ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon, Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 43 be deleted. The justification is that the clause proposes to amend Section 131 of the principal Act to allow county governments to withdraw money from the County Revenue Fund in case county assemblies delay passing the Appropriation Bill. It is similar to the amendment proposed under Clause 13 of the Bill for the national Government. The amendment should be treated the same way as Clause 13. The import is self-explanatory. It is providing that counties do not withdraw money without the authority. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Maybe I am trying to practise. You never know. Next time I may be on the other divide and could be the Leader of the Minority Party. I beg to second the Leader of the Majority Party. I agree with him that in the last dispensation, we only had one House. Maybe that is why the Act referred to Parliament. Since we now have two Houses - the Senate and the National Assembly - it would be good if it is clear that it is supposed to be the National Assembly. It is the practice of ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also beg to lay on the Table of the House, the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on its consideration of a Petition on payment of terminal dues to the former employees of Pan Paper Company Limited presented to us by Hon. Patrick Wangamati, MP. We want to say that the Committee found that Pan Paper and the Ministry concerned should have a list of authenticated employees and ask the National Treasury to make those funds available during the Financial Year 2017/2018, so that we can pay the former employees of ... view
