• 7 Dec 2023 in Senate: I am finalizing, Madam Temporary Speaker. Some of the issues emerging are; failure by the fund managers of these funds to submit copies of their quarterly financial reports to the Controller of Budget as required by the law, counties not submitting financial statements of the funds to the Office of the Auditor-General, and counties not limited on the number of funds that they can set up. Some counties have over 10 funds, counties establishing funds but not providing resources. These are some of the challenges we will define in our report. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Committee is expected to have, ... view

• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: are being locked and we are not able to pay our bills on the ground because of lack of operation money. We must take serious action because this is more than just the money. It is the disrespect by the Executive to Parliament. Yesterday, I was surprised that a Principal Secretary--- view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is disrespect to the institution of Parliament by the Executive. They want to give us the Exchequer when they feel like. They want to punish us. If we are not facilitated, we will not be able to do our legislative work well. The Constitution is clear that Parliament shall be facilitated. I agree with Sen.
