• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: smaller political parties. This does not make sense. So, in my opinion, there is some mischief. I support the bit where they say that 20 per cent of that fund should be shared amongst the parties that are showing clear inclination towards supporting special interest groups. But the top two parties cannot take the lion’s share and leave scraps for the rest of the political parties. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Another challenge I have observed is the changes or amendments proposed to the Elections Act. Here, the proposal is that political parties are supposed to ensure that one-third of the nominees to Parliament or county assemblies are of either gender. I am the organising secretary of the third largest party in the country and there is no formula you can use to do this. This House has attempted to pass the two-thirds gender rule for the longest time and it has been very difficult. So, how do you tell a political party to decide that a third must be of ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Report by the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the proposed amendments to the Public Finance Management (National Government) (Amendment) Regulations; Regulation 26(1)(c) on the public debts ceiling. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: As a Member of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, we deal with issues to do with subsidiary legislation guided clearly by the Statutory Instruments Act. So, there are basic things we look out for whenever regulations are brought before the Committee. However, these are a little different from most of the regulations we get because not only are they anchored in the Statutory Instruments Act but also under the PFM Act. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The National Treasury is responsible for the preparation of the PFM Regulations and as a Committee, our mandate is to ascertain among others whether there was sufficient public participation. This is clearly stated in the Statutory Instruments Act. We realised that when it comes to regulations under the PFM Act, it defines who the publics are and which stakeholders are supposed to participate in public participation. In this case, we realised that Parliament is one of them and we know the National Treasury consulted with the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We also realised that the IBEC, which draws its membership from a lot of stakeholders, is also a mandatory participant. So, basically, we believe there was sufficient public participation. We got the reports showing that all these bodies were consulted. The other requirement is for us to check whether any subsidiary legislation conforms to the parent Act. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With that, a review of these regulations is provided under Section 205 of the PFM Act and Regulation 6 of the PFM (National Government) (Amendment) Regulations. This proposed amendment to the regulation is firmly anchored in the PFM Act and is consistent with the provisions of the Constitution and takes into account current and future generations. So, basically, using the Statutory Instruments Act, we feel that these regulations have passed the threshold for us to pass them. However, allow me to go further and talk about the purpose of these proposed amendments because my Chair has ably canvassed a lot ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: says he needs money, we have no option, but to support. Then we need to figure out how to control and ensure that the money the Government gets does not get wasted. Hon. Speaker, I second. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also comment on the Petition. Land issues have become a thorn in the flesh of Kenyans. That is because almost every time when people are meant to be compensated, it is always questionable as to who the real owners are. If this is an issue of 1965 and those people are purporting that their land was acquired and yet other people were paid, it is important that, as this House discusses this Petition, it makes far-reaching decisions on what happens if that is the truth. What should be done to ... view
