• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Could I be in order to request you to consider giving a considered ruling on the matter Mr. Nyamweya raised? As is the practice elsewhere during the Prime Minister’s Question Time, we could also refrain from asking questions in writing. This is because part of his duties is co-ordination and supervision of Government Ministries. Hon. Members should ask him questions on the spot during his Time. view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Presidential Speech which was read on the State Opening Day. I would first like to congratulate you for the decision that you took last week to ensure that the business of the House continues uninterrupted. Listening to His Excellency the President, one of the points that he spoke about was on the way forward on the agenda for this country. However, that agenda will only succeed if we avoid grandstanding, political posturing and on realization that this country belongs to all Kenyans and that all Kenyans ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that CDF allocations for 2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 financial years were allocated to various constituencies based on budget estimates. That was occasioned by the fact that the actual ordinary revenues collected can only be ascertained at the closure of the financial year and on the subsequent audit of the same. Therefore, it is not practical to base the CDF allocations on the actual ordinary revenues for a financial year under consideration at any one time. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) It is true that, in the current financial year 2008/2009, resource allocations were Kshs10.1 billion instead of Kshs11.6 billion based on estimated ordinary revenue for the year. Considering the events of last year, and the current global financial crisis, the ordinary revenue targets will only be accomplished with extra efforts by all. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Our Ministry, together with the Ministry of Finance, will continue to review the situation on a continuous basis. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, going back to the actual figures of collection - because I have the audited and actual figures - in 2005/2006, the 2.5 per cent as per the Act was Kshs7,000,085,675. I am giving this figure so that I can answer his question in comparative figures. The allocation that was given was Kshs7.2 billion. So, the allocation was higher than the actual amount. In 2006/2007, the amount of money allocated was Kshs10,038,000,000 and 2.5 per cent of the actual was Kshs8.5 billion. So there was an excess payment. In 2007/2008, the estimated figure that was used was Kshs10.1 ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I do not know where the figure of Kshs8 billion has come from. In some of the financial years, CDF ought to have refunded the Treasury some money because more money was allocated than what was actually realised. Unless the hon. Member is adding what was due, plus what is due to hon. Members. view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Secondly, the role of passing any estimates whatsoever lies in this House. Therefore, every hon. Member has a duty, when the estimates are brought here, to raise certain issues that pertain to this subject. view
