• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to, first of all, thank the Budget Committee for the work that it did. The Committee came up with its own recommendations. I actually instructed the Treasury officials that they must take on board everything that the Committee has recommend when preparing the Appropriation Bill. The problem came when they brought to my attention some of the implications of the Committee’s recommendations. I did not want to say this but I am now going to say it. One of the Budget Committee’s recommendations was that the allocations for domestic travel be reduced by ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying this, and I have the recommendations here. I am saying when, for example, you have 4 per cent reduction in current grants to Government agencies across the board, if I were to implement this recommendation, in effect then, I have to reduce the CDF and the LATF. However, these are based on another Act of Parliament which gives the amounts. So, unless that law is, again, changed then you have a problem. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is what I would like to say. We have had a very wonderful working ... view

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I thought it will be important to inform the hon. Members what the Salaries and Remuneration Commission is doing. It is trying to allocate salaries, first of all, based on academic qualifications; secondly, on the workload; and thirdly on responsibility. So, it is important that we have some higher qualifications so that when they are reviewing salaries, Members of Parliament do not lose out because they do not have degrees. All we are saying is that for this coming year’s elections, there is an exemption, but in 2017, you must have a degree. That is what Kimunya’s ... view
• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I just want a clarification, so that we are sure of what we are doing here; what about honorary degrees? Are they included? view

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, for that ruling. I personally would have no problem. However, this issue is not as new as Members are trying to make it. This issue has been discussed for a long time. We have even held a workshop with the Members of the Committee on Finance. Planning and Trade. We have discussed these amendments. Basically, I know they are major but I can assure you we have taken into account the amendments that were raised by Members during debate. Even more, most of them are clean up. They are many but they are ... view
