It also has modalities of resource allocation to the projects, implementation and oversight of the identified projects.

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Oundo has said it very well. First of all, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, who has just walked out, said that she had queried the legal minds that had looked at this piece of legislation. In addition, I would say that the able minds of the Legal Department of Parliament have compared the existing laws and came out clearly that this is a copy paste pieces of legislation that are uncalled for. I, therefore, with the recommendations of the Committee, beg to reply and ask for its rejection. I ask the House not ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the presence of foreign soldiers in Baluwago location, Mandera East Constituency. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the residents of Mandera have been living in fear as a result of the presence of foreign-armed soldiers, who crossed the border into Kenya from Bula Hawo in Somalia and settled in Baluwago Location, Mandera East Constituency. The said soldiers are allegedly there to provide security to the Minister in charge of Security from the Jubaland Regional Government ... view

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I sit in the PIC and I wish to state at the outset that it has not been easy coming up with this Report of the 48 parastatals. There are five or seven common elements in all the 48 parastatals. One of them is the issue of procurement. Ninety-five per cent of these State corporations do not adhere to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. They have no procurement plans. They haphazardly advertise for projects and tender for projects knowing very well that they may not have the ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Another problem is failure to adhere to the Public Finance Management Act. It is disturbing to note that accounting officers take the Public Finance Management Act lightly. Many senior managers are in acting capacity. This is by design. The appointing authorities must take their responsibilities seriously to make sure that they appoint substantive CEOs and senior managers to these parastatals. A case in point is the Kenya Pipeline Corporation, where 95 per cent of the senior managers have been serving in acting capacity for five to six years. This is so disturbing. Another disturbing aspect is that contractors are not ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On 26th February, I had asked a Question by Private Notice to the Cabinet Secretary for Defence in respect to a serious issue in my constituency. I am yet to get any response from the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. It is a serious matter. I beg to know the status of that Private Members’ Question which I asked on 24th February. view
