Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion on the exemption of a Bill from the provisions of Standing Order No.141 (1) . We are all aware about the Division of Revenue Bill which this House passed. As a result of the amendments done by...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to second the Procedural Motion relating to reduction of the publication period of the Bill from 14 days to six days. I cannot agree more with my Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We now have the experience in terms of...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to wish my colleagues a nice time out there as they go for nominations. As a House, for the one month we have been here we have done our best. We have demonstrated a level of commitment which...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, I just want to seek your guidance in terms of procedure. This amendment deals with a money matter. Normally, anytime you bring up money issues, there is a procedure to go about it. This amendment has not been discussed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to add my voice in supporting this Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I would like to remind the House that this is the last Budget that we will pass as the 11th Parliament. There are realities in terms of the...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, I was speaking about the budget-making medium term framework. Every financial year, we make a Budget for three years, which we call the rolling budget process. But you find that at any time, we are expected as a country to make sure that even as we...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, I support that. It is important that they also be part of the budget-making process. The other issue is technical institutions or what we call technical training institutes which we have constructed all over the country. Through the Budget and Appropriations Committee, funds have been provided...

Hon. Mulu I appreciate, Hon. Speaker. I was saying we should not, as a House, allow any new project to take off in a ministry, department or agency when they already have incomplete projects. That would be poor financial management. In situations where organisations have started projects and they are...

Hon. Mulu The request was not for this one. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. (Ms.) Shebesh) : It was not for this one. That is okay if it was for the previous one. Hon. Members, then there is no one on my screen who wants to speak on this Bill....

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to support the Division of Revenue, Bill 2017. I want to thank my Chairman and deputy for giving us the important figures captured in this Bill. So, I will not spend a lot of time talking about...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to comment on the first Petition.

Hon. Mulu The first Petition raises two issues which, to me, are very important. One of the issues is the one of the chief executive officers (CEOs) overstaying in some of those positions despite a very clear legal framework which provides the period a CEO should be in office. I...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health in terms of the amendments to the Health Bill by the Senate. Listening to the Mover of the Report, I wish he had provided the House with more details. Based...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know our names are almost similar. I want to start by thanking Hon. Kamanda and his Committee for their good work. I presented a petition to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology in February and up to now, there is...

Hon. Mulu The Committee needs to look at the way funds are distributed for roads maintenance in this country. Some petitioners are requesting for dual carriageways while other counties like mine have no roads. We have been complaining about a Class “B” Road, which has never been tarmacked. When we...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank PAC for the detailed Report it has presented to this House. In the past, these Reports have experienced very long delays. We are only two years in terms of backlog and the Committee can now fast-track the implementation. It will...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the chance to add my voice to the Kenya Roads Bill, 2015. We are all aware that roads are important to this country because they provide necessary infrastructure for Kenyans to move from point “A” to Hon. Mulupoint “B”. To some...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to also give conditional support to this amendment. The issue of ranking schools is good, but has been demonised in this county because of the way it has been conducted. While I am aware of all the advantages...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, this public Petition relates to challenges faced by braille technicians and transcribers. This is now technical. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the citizens of Kenya and in particular the braille technicians and transcribers draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, braille technicians...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, do I second the entire amendment?

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to Hon. Chepkong’a, we are all aware of what capital finance management in this country demands.

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, the recommendations are clear that the CJ takes responsibility for financial payments. The person who appoints sccounting officers is the--- (Loud consultations)

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, that is why I am saying that this is an area I have a bit of authority. I do not know why people are not reading. We have the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) which is very clear. Recommendation No.5 says that for disregarding the Treasury...

Hon. Mulu Hon. Speaker, I am not a Member of that Committee but I am asking: “Are we saying that if you are an accounting officer and you are given wrong instructions, you go and act on those wrong instructions, when you know the Constitution is very clear that that...

Hon. Mulu Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I must start by appreciating the work of the PAC of this House. If you read this Report and have heard the way it has been presented by the Chairman of the Committee, this House has a responsibility to thank that Committee...
