• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to second this Report that is before this House. As it has been eloquently put by our Chairman, it has not been an easy task to audit reports of 72 parastatals dating back to more than 25 years ago. That brings into question the efficiency of some of these audit reports that we get, especially if they take more than 25 years to be brought before this House to be adopted. I think some of the reports are even older than some Members of this House. I am saying ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another major sector is the energy sector where we have the GDC that is supposed to contribute substantially to the energy sector in this country. view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The other sector is financial sector where we have the NSSF where a lot of money from the public sector, that is the pensioners’ investments, has been going. We looked at how that money is being invested. The other major sector is infrastructure that is concerned with roads. Those are the main parastatals that we have covered. view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We have given an example of the NSSF in the financial years that we have looked at. On procurement, the Fund contracted Mugoya Construction Company, whose history is very well known in this country, to complete Phase II of Nyayo Estate in Embakasi at more than Kshs.324,000,355 million without any collateral security. The Fund was not able to recover this money. This happened in the last five years between 2008 and 2011. This is the case and yet the history of Mugoya, as a company in this country, is well documented. In the process, the public lost over Kshs300 million ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue is with regard to budgetary controls. Although it is very clear how public funds should be utilised, that is in terms of what has been approved in this House, you will find that some of these bodies have gone ahead to spend money that has not even been approved by this House. This is the case and yet nobody is held to account although it is very clear, under the law, as to who can appropriate public funds for usage. You will also find some parastatals that have gone ahead to use public ... view
