NYORO, SAMSON NDINDI

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Supplementary Appropriation (No. 3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.71 of 2023) from seven days to four days. As Members are aware,...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Supplementary Appropriation (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.71 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. Hon. Speaker, as Members are aware, last week we robustly debated the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee with regard to the Supplementary Estimates. Therefore,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I will take very little time in replying. I thank all the Members who have said something about this Supplementary Budget. It is important I mention them as I reply to their concerns. Hon. Irene asked about State House. As I explained earlier, State...

Hon. Speaker, with due respect because my brother, Hon. Saney, is a very important Member of this House, I request that I pinpoint to him where the money is after this. There is Ksh6 billion for emergencies. Such a matter is not a matter to talk about before this House...

Hon. Speaker, I had already mentioned about maize farmers, but because the Hon. Member for Kesses Constituency shares the same name with the President of Kenya, I will repeat. (Laughter) 21st November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 17 He is cheering and so, you can end there. He is cheering to...

Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, the First Schedule to the Bill be amended by inserting the following new votes and their corresponding details after vote R2031. I will just read the votes and Members can interact with the content in the circulated amendment sheets....

Not yet. There are two types. Hon. Chair I am actually on it. There are two sheets of amendments for First Schedule.

That is the reason. There is one pager and there are the two pagers. So, I was reading the one pager then I go to the second pager.

In continuation, there is another amendment to the First Schedule, I beg to move: THAT, the First Schedule of the Bill be amended;

Thank you, Members. I actually thought they were already distributed, but they will be coming. Just to say, majority of these amendments are actually clean ups, but they are as read. Just to explain to Members Hon. Chairlady, what we are trying to do here, there were some amendments under...

Hon. Chairlady, the same is on two sheets of papers and I will start with the first one. Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Second Schedule be amended in Vote R2051, by deleting the expression “ (150,000,000) ” appearing in the third column under Programme 0619000 (General Administration,...

THAT, the Second Schedule to the Bill be amended—

Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. I wish to reply to those issues because they are very important. Hon. Makali Mulu and Hon. Beatrice Elachi have raised the same issues. Movement of Ksh4 to Ksh29 billion is in respect to monies we anticipate to have as surplus from Railways Development...

Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. This is the last amendment there is. I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 2 and substituting therefor the following new Clause— Issue of 115,874,418,343 out of the Consolidated Fund and apply it towards the supply granted for the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with all speakers that there has to be a clear demarcation between private enterprise and public service. Part of the reasons why countries like Kenya are not able to unlock the potential of its citizens is because we take the easy...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I wish to relay this information to the Members who have requested for clarifications. As you are aware, the President serves our country in State House most of the times. That is where he hosts most of the delegations that you see which have a huge positive...

All the money we are appropriating is for our country. It is good for us to understand that there has been also development expenditure in State House. We are trying to reduce the recurrent expenditure, especially for tenting, so that we have one permanent pavilion. This will help us not...

I really beseech all Members here because the explanations I gave are numerous. I talked about the major item. The budget for State House in the Printed Estimates was totally inadequate and that was on the request of the President. Even before we funded his Office, there were other pressing...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I know Hon. (Dr) Oundo knows that the State Department for Correctional Services is one of the most resourced Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that we have. Therefore, this is a marginal cut that will not affect the clients of the State Department for Correctional Services. It...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I assure Hon. (Dr) Oundo that the money is there. The entire rationalisation for all Votes was because the National Treasury was targeting the projects that are yet to be committed. This will not lead to pending bills. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Thank you....

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I assure all Members that the money we have increased in this Vote is for modernisation of police equipment. 16th November 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 39 The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’): No. We are on Vote 1036 on Regional Development. Sorry, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I anticipated...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I agree I gave a partial answer. I forgot to say in this amount there is a donor funded project for food security of over Ksh5 billion. This is a World Bank project where we put money then they reimburse the Exchequer when it is expended. Therefore,...

Thank you very much, Hon Temporary Chairman. That has been handled properly by the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, the Member for Belgut. Hon. Members, you will realise the austerity measures we are taking as a nation although for a nation that is not...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, as Hon. Junet is quite aware, when you hire, and especially mid-financial year, you need money to pay the new employees’ salaries. This is part of that money. Around Ksh6 billion is for modernisation of the defence equipment. This is a mid-year project which happens in internal...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I thank Hon. Junet for making that observation. It is precisely for that reason that we are adding money. (Programmes 0714000, 0715000, 0741000 and 0742000 agreed to) (Vote 1053 agreed to) VOTE 1054 - STATE DEPARTMENT FOR DIASPORA AFFAIRS

Hon. Temporary Chairman, starting with the question from Hon. Rindikiri, roads have different kinds of funding. One is donor funding and the Exchequer for maintenance. Money for road maintenance comes from the fuel levy and it is available. All damaged roads will be taken care of. In terms of the...

Thank you very much, Hon. Oundo. As you can see, the amounts that we are dealing with in regard to that Department are quite marginal. I, therefore, assure you that you will continue to have consistent power. There have been maintenance challenges, which Kenya Power is dealing with. (Programmes 0211000,...

Thank you very much Hon. Chair. Hon. Makilap, thank you very much for standing for what your people do. This money is simply for the movement of the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) from this department to the Department of Defense (DOD) . The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng) : Members...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I want Hon. Makali to be in peace. The money that you will enhance for the State Department for Crop Development will take care of all farmers across Kenya: maize farmers, coffee cherry farmers, and tea and maize fertiliser. It will also be used for...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is normal for all the departments. That was for the purpose of rationalisation. The National Treasury sent a circular to all MDAs who made cuts where they deemed fit. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Kimani Kuria, you have one minute.

THAT, the First Schedule be amended in Vote 1261 (The Judiciary) by— The net effect is zero sum. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : It is zero sum. (Question of the amendment proposed) (Programme 0610000 as amended agreed to) (Vote 1261 as amended agreed to) VOTE 2051 - JUDICIAL...

Thank you very much for giving me a chance to say something about these amendments: I start by congratulating Hon. Chekonga and the Committee. They have been very forthright and dedicated to serving this House and our country Kenya. I support the current amendments because as you know regulations form...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I holistically support this Bill because we need to tame our borrowing. As you have seen, even the President is leading from the front in this effort. We cannot continue digging the 27th June 2023 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 18 hole of debt. The...
