• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: It is very important that we get to the bottom of this matter. Repealing the Act is the easier action but the action must be implemented with the terminal audit to see whether people have taken advantage of the scheme that has been moribund for almost 40 years. view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take up from where my colleagues stopped. The purpose and object of the County Governments Grants Bill is to put together a framework to support Article 202 on conditional allocation and to facilitate the transfer of conditional and non-conditional allocations. That is what the Bill says. When you look at the attachments, you see a problem. The problem of conditional grants is exactly that—it is a conditional grant. A conditional grant can be accepted or rejected by a county government. The last page of this document says every county government in ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: mechanism for deciding what value there is for money? The Consolidated Fund has that mechanism. The Public Finance Management Act is supposed to be amended by inserting a new section 42 to provide that Parliament shall consider the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and the Bill for allocation and transfer of conditional and non-conditional grants under Article 202 of the Constitution no later than 30 days after the Bills have been introduced. I understand the first one on the Division of Revenue Bill, but where do the conditional grants come in? They are a bane. ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg your pardon. I am out of order. Before I speak, let me put on my mask. I am sorry about that oversight. My colleague has detailed the five Funds that the Special Funds Accounts Committee (SFAC) looked at. I am a Member of the Committee. It has taken a great amount of time to look at the accounts of some of these Funds, which had never been sorted out for some time. There is one Fund that I want to bring to the attention of the House. I was a ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The first thing we want to raise in respect of the LAPF is to ensure that it has the first charge on assets. As a member of City Hall or county staff, I was making my pension deductions but the local authority never transmitted those contributions to the LAPF. When I retire, I will go to the LAPF and demand my pension. The LAPF will not manage to pay the pension because it will say that the pensions were never remitted to it. Unfortunately, that is the situation we found the LAPF in. The remittances from the local authorities had ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: attributed to the slow pace of loan repayment by settlers and beneficiaries due to a tedious manual process. Nobody has been looking at that. We have loans of Kshs70 million. I beg to move. view

• 16 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have interest but not in this particular clause. view
• 16 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My only concern on that particular amendment is sub-clause (6) which states; “The Attorney-General may make regulations.” There was a suggestion to have it as: “The Attorney- General shall make regulations.” I think this is what we call simple English. When it says “may” it might leave the Attorney- General with the... view
