• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I think this is a report that we do not want to take lightly, because in a flash of a second, we have lost seven children. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I beg to support. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of CPAIC. Is Sen. Murkomen in order to cast aspersions at a Committee which is working very hard? If he has any evidence, has he to table it before this House. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. There are very unfortunate remarks that have been made on this Floor of the House. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I take the earliest opportunity to disabuse this kind of misunderstanding of the role and activities of CPAIC. One, it is the CPAIC that has been able to bring to book the majority of the governors who initially could not even appear before it. Secondly, the accounts for financial years 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016, 2016/2017 and 2017/2018, respectively had not been done in the last Session of the Senate by the CPAIC. We have on the table 235 reports on the executive alone, leave alone the county assemblies again another 235 reports. If you add on the various county funds, we ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: post-mortem on reports without being current. We are current. We presented before this honourable House the fiduciary reports covering all those years. When we look though the books and everything else, we have been able to cover and know what the danger points are, areas of corruption and misuse or abuse of office. Accordingly, we have been able to in the context. Finally, on that point, it is only today that we have been able to clear at least 10 counties in today’s sitting from those years I have mentioned up to the current 2017/2018. They will be table before ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: For anybody to stand here and say that the CPAIC has done nothing, I think is a misadventure in that story. I can only call it so. They should wait and not pre-empt the report because it will be here on the Floor of this House. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Schedule of Disbursement. One of problems we are finding in the CPAIC is that when we audit, examine and interrogate those books is the late Exchequer releases from the National Treasury to the county governments. We are now seeing that one of the mischiefs that are causing the pending bills is because the funds that ought to be disbursed before 30th of June of the ensuing financial year are now being disbursed in the following financial year. Consequently, this does not fall within the budgets that the county governments had developed that are ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: We will soon look at that of Elgeyo-Marakwet County. I wish the Senate Majority Leader was here because he is scheduled to appear before us. We will ask him whether the meeting should be here or in his own county headquarters. The ball is in his court. So, he should not lament here. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: It is the governor, but we will consult the Senator to give us an appropriate date. It is good to have the Senator, MCAs of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of that county and members of the public. When time permits, we will also go out and inspect some projects. Next month the CPAIC will use a different approach for its programmes. Having said that, one of the headaches we must cure is that when we pass this Schedule, the National Treasury must adhere to it because they do not disburse funds on time. Consequently, the counties are unable to ... view
