• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: We need to increase the ceiling to accommodate new programmes and project loans we intend to borrow over the next four years, under the Medium Term Plan, 2008-2012, the first plan under Vision 2030, as part of the efforts to sustain the economic growth over that period and to continue our fight against poverty. We have, through the Medium Term Fiscal Framework, identified activities and projects that will need to be funded. For those, we need to borrow externally, about Kshs250 billion over a four year period. view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to re-assure this House that concerns often raised on the utilisation of proceeds from external loans and grants are receiving serious attention by the Government and that, elaborate plans to strengthen financial management, including procurement, monitoring of projects and governance, have been put in place and will be fully implemented. view

Indeed, the House, recently, passed the Fiscal Management Bill, and the Treasury concurs with the need to fully involve Parliament in the Budget process. In this regard, we plan to bring to this House the Budget proposals as contained in the Budget Strategy Paper around April, 2009. view
