• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to also support this Motion. I wish to begin by thanking the Committee that has done this good job. In fact, we can only say that it is extraordinary performance on the part of a Committee in this House. We ask them to keep it up. We ask other Committees to follow suit. I am happy that governors will have to keep quiet after we adopt these reports because every time they talk about the funding to the counties, they blame this House for delay in approving the audited accounts. Once we approve these ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Having gone through the executive summary that has been given by my colleagues--- Before I go into it, it is important for Committees to ensure that their reports are available to hon. members so that they can ably participate in debate. We have not seen the bigger report. We are actually acting on the executive summary. It is good and it is going to guide us but it is important for us also to have a look at the actual detailed report. I ask the Committee before we conclude this debate that it is availed. view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is shocking to see how public officers have been looting from our Government. It is clear that at the tail end of the nusu mkate Government, there was a frenzy to loot public coffers, starting with the confidential expenditures. It is shocking. People were withdrawing Kshs30 million, Kshs150 million and Kshs300 million in a day and the Auditor-General and our PAC cannot tell where that money went. While we are not interested in what is called confidential information we must, for sure, know that that money did not go into the pocket of an individual ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: of development in this country. I think the intention of the Committee to name and shame those Accounting Officers in future is not even right, we should do it now. If we are talking of Kshs2.8 billion not being accounted for and the officers were given a chance to explain how that money was spent and they did not do it or they were unable to do it, those are people who properly belong to jail. We should not have a situation where such people are in an office still doing what they were doing last year and the other ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: When we hear that the Judiciary is part of the looting clique, it is shocks us because this is the last arm of the Government or body that we would expect to be involved in this. When the Report says that the Judiciary cannot account for over Kshs2 billion, where is this country going? Those are the people who are supposed to be judging others in this country. When we hear that a house that ought to have spent about Kshs150 million consumed Kshs300 million in terms of purchase price, that is double, this is just showing us that we ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we are told that State House gave out a contract of over Kshs100 million for a petrol station, Kshs88 million has been given but there is nothing to show for it and nobody is in jail - neither the contractor nor the officers who paid that money without any services being rendered or any goods delivered - we need to be more serious. As a House, the Constitution gives us the oversight role. We need to insist on the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), not only do ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: It is also very sad as Members of Parliament that some of our constituencies are not able to account for money given as Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and yet, this is the little money that Kenya has been seeing reaching wananchi. I am pleading with my colleagues to ensure that we have proper structures of expenditure in our constituencies. We should ensure that we rival any other accounting officers in terms of value for money in terms of expenditure. view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: As I conclude, I plead with the Jubilee Government officers; please, we have a Government that wants to deliver. Let us not copy what has happened in the past. Let us ensure that this country uses money that is supposed to go for that development. Otherwise, Vision 2030 is going to remain a pipe dream. We are banking on the billions to be spent on development to generate and grow the economy and, therefore, generate more income and earnings for this country. That money is actually going to lie in the pockets of individuals and the economy will never grow, ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Asante sana Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ningetaka pia kuchangia mjadala kuhusu hii Ripoti ambayo Rais wa Kenya aliweza kutupatia kuhusu hali ya usalama katika hii nchi. Ijapokuwa hii Ripoti ilikuwa ya miezi kadhaa ambayo imepita nimeiangalia na ninaona bado mambo yale ambayo imeangalia ni yale ambayo yako. Hakuna kitu kimefanyika kutoka mwezi wa tatu na wa nne mwaka huu ambacho kimebadilisha sababu za ukosefu wa usalama katika hii nchi na pia hakuna mambo ambayo yamebadilika. Yale majadiliano yalikuwa na pia suluhisho ambazo Ripoti hii imetoa bado ni zile zile. Kwa hivyo, hakuna mabadiliko ambayo yamefanyika. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Naibu Spika wa Muda, ningetaka kusema kuwa polisi lazima sasa waanze kuangalia hali ya masomo ya wale wananchi ambao wanaajiriwa katika kikosi ya polisi. Haya mambo ya kuwachukua kutoka mahali ambapo wamelelewa na wamesomea na kuwapeleka hapa Kiganjo ama Embakasi na baada ya hapo wanatumwa Baragoi, Lamu na Mandera mahali ambapo kuna vita kabisa, lazima yabadilishwe. Lazima kuwe na sehemu ya mafunzo yao ambayo inawapeleka Baragoi na kule kwa kichaka Mandera ili haya mambo ya ukora ijulikane. Polisi ambao wanatumwa hapo ni wale ambao wameajiriwa hivi juzi. Wale ambao wamekuwa wakikula mshahara na wana uzoevu wa kazi hawatumwi kule kwa ... view
