• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: So, these requests have been rationalized and are recommended for funding within the context of the proposed savings from the overall Budget cuts. The full list of rationalized recommendations which is attached and which I circulated yesterday, shows how the recommendations of the initial estimates from Treasury---. If you take into account the recommendations of Parliament in total through the Vote on Account and if you take into account what we have rationalsed, it is given in the other column---. Lastly, the last column is now what is appearing in the Appropriation Bill. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with the exceptions that I have given, we have fully implemented the recommendations of the Budget Committee. This is the first time it is happening and I am sure hon. Members of Parliament have also seen the changes even in the attitude of Treasury. I have given instructions that the Budget making process is no longer the sole domain of Treasury. It is now being done in conjunction with the Budget Committee of Parliament. That has been accepted and you should expect no further resistance. Parliament must be involved. The stakeholders must be involved and that ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is important to clarify the following. Printed Estimates are basically used for debate and that was done. The Estimates were then committed to the Budget Committee which looked into them and came up with their own recommendations. So, we have moved away from the Estimates now. To me the issue was; has the Treasury implemented the recommendations of the Budget Committee or not? I have said, except for those items that I have mentioned, we have fully implemented and I have given the reasons. We have a new budget-making process in place. Previously, ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity right from the outset to thank hon. Members for their contribution which we have taken seriously. Even more, I will just respond to one or two issues that were raised. One, even with the money in the Appropriations Bill, I am looking for money and I am happy to say that I have now found money. I have found a financier who is going to finance the Voi-Mwatate to Moshi Road. There is now a financier for Turbi up to Moyale Road. We have a financier for Wajir-Modogashe Road and even ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: The other one is Vision 2030. The Vision 2030 Secretariat is not the one that implements the project. The projects are implemented by the various Ministries. So, the little money you find for the Vision 2030 Secretariat is really for administrative purposes. It is not for implementing Vision 2030. For example, LAPSSET, which is going to transform the North Eastern areas of this country, again, because it is of a huge amount, cannot be funded through the Budget. We are looking for a financier and already, we have two. We are almost concluding so that we can do the Lamu ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, to conclude, let me say that I have taken the views of Members seriously and Treasury, as you may have realized, will now work together with Parliament so that we can start developing this country and bring development to all parts of the country. view

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the House its consideration of The Appropriations Bill, Bill No.28 of 2012, without amendments. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you will recall that when the Clerk gave me this Report to read, I returned it. I said it is for the Attorney-General. We were still thinking that we were on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Then, she gave it back to me again. I said: “I am not the one who is---“ You read it. So, I think to amend it--- Because, really, we have been working since morning on these amendments. That is why when I was given this, I returned it twice and still the Clerk said: “No! No! I thought, maybe, ... view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: There are no amendments. It is only the Schedule. view
