• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was a question asked by the Member for Gwassi on how the Ministry will monitor the banks. We will monitor them the same way we monitored the AFD programme. We have a small unit in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance that handles SME situations. We are developing a reporting format that all banks will now be required to follow. We expect to receive six monthly reports, first and foremost, whether the target market has been reached, the number of people who have been lent funds and the amounts ... view

• 4 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer to part “b” is very clear and obvious. The framework itself is very clear that any bank that is participating and that shall utilize these monies must lend to this particular target group. That is why it is clear that for every shilling that the Kenya Government contributes into this programme, participating banks must contribute an equivalent of a minimum of Kshs5 because we wanted to bring the total up to about Kshs15 billion or a minimum of Kshs15 billion being lent to this target group. That is why the monitoring unit as ... view

• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Following the approval by this House of the Budget for the Financial Year 2010/2011, the Government embarked on the implementation of various programmes for which resources were appropriated. Whereas, indeed, I have tried to adhere to the fiscal programme presented to this House, the implementation of the Budget has faced numerous challenges which have disrupted the original assumptions that formulated the basis of the Budget. Key amongst those challenges included the rise in food and oil prices, political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, drought, security issues and implementation of the Constitution. This has resulted in revenue shortfalls ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Regarding the request for additional funding, the Treasury received requests amounting to more than Kshs120 billion from line Ministries to fund various additional programmes. However, due to the constraints in realizing more revenue receipts and the need to maintain a stable macro-economic framework, there was need for us to rationalize these requests to Kshs44.8 billion to cater for critical interventions that could not be postponed. The above expenditures have been financed using the existing Civil Contingency Fund of Kshs2 billion, budget reserves of Kshs2 billion, drought contingency of Kshs2.1 billion and rationalizing - that is scaling down expenditures of slow ... view
