• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 8 be amended in paragraph (a) by deleting paragraph (c) of the proposed new subsection (2) and substituting therefor the following paragraph— “(c) taking all decisions of the Centre in the exercise, discharge and performance of the Centre’s objectives, powers, functions and duties”. The justification of this amendment is that it clarifies that the director-general is responsible for all decisions made by the Centre. This is in line with the best Financial Action Task Force requirements and international best practices which require that the powers of the Centre must be ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 11 of the Bill be amended in the proposed Section 31 by inserting the words “specific act or” immediately before the word “function” appearing in sub-section (3). The amendment seeks to exclude the Centre from the ambit of the State Corporations Act as it has the potential to interfere with the operational independence of the Centre, which is a key requirement and the best practice for financial intelligence units. You know that when the Centre is in the State Corporations Act, it means that it will be guided by it. ... view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: This is a very important amendment because when the Agency gets independence, instead of working under the Attorney-General, it will be more effective. I support the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the Leader of the Majority Party because the police are already overwhelmed. People working for that Agency will be under the SRC and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury will approve their appointment. It is a good clause. view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: 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
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, even though we say that it is independent, it is very important that the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury is involved when it comes to opening of accounts. That is according to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. The National Treasury should know all the accounts that are opened. We are just trying to avoid very many accounts being opened without the authority of the CS of the National Treasury. Thank you. view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second the Report of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on the vetting of nominees for appointment as commissioners of the CRA, which was laid on the Table of the House during the morning sitting. When you communicated to the House the nomination of these members, the Committee, as usual, requested for their Curriculum Vitaes (CVs), which we received and went through. The nominees were invited for interview. They appeared before the Committee yesterday. They underwent their oral interview. By last evening, all the members of the Committee were satisfied that ... view
• 20 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: any adverse report from the statutory bodies that are supposed to clear them. We are sure these are Kenyans who are up to the task. There is a good combination because there is blending. There are old and young people. We know that even the young people will tap a lot of experience from the old people who are in that commission. Being nominees of both parties, the House should approve them. With those very few remarks, I second. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before I read the Petition, we have one that was brought here by a Mr. Njoroge Waweru on the waiver of VAT on text books, journals and periodicals. The Committee looked at it and noted that during the Finance Bill 2016, the same had been canvassed. It was dropped by the Committee and that is also reflected in the Finance Bill. So, after looking through the Petition from Mr. Njoroge Waweru, the Committee disagreed with his request. So, in that regard, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House today, Thursday, ... view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Procedural Motion. It is in the Calendar of Parliament. Secondly, we have been working so hard. We have passed so many Bills. Though we are going on recess, I know we still have the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), which I know we will be coming back next week to continue with. At least it is good that when we have a break, we do not need to seek for permission to meet in our Committee rooms. All in all, I want to thank all hon. Members ... view
