If they are looking for the President, who they call Kasongo, he is not in the Senate, but at State House."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to comment on the Statements. I want to add my voice to the Senator for Kisumu's Statement on the transfer of core county functions by the County Government of Kisumu to the City of Kisumu. The Urban Areas and Cities Act envisaged a situation where urban areas would be classified as either a city, a municipality, a town, or a market. I have seen Sen. (Prof.) Ojienda's concerns about transferring these functions. However, the spirit of the Urban Areas and Cities Act required that urban areas run efficiently and effectively, have business-like operations, and sustain themselves. Urban area management would only ensure that this happens if they are performing certain functions. Some of these functions are not limited to urban-specific services like the provision of water, management of fire and fire stations in the towns, and management of the sewerage system to be specifically managed. The municipalities and cities should ensure that the urban areas have street lights and access roads within the cities. This can only be possible if they are managing certain budgets that are consistent with those services. I do not know to what extent these services have been transferred, but the urban areas have a management system where boards run these cities. These boards are structured in a way that they have a chairman and board members. They even have a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), referred to as the city manager, that is running the city. It means that these boards have to run services within the cities. This ensures that the cities are managed well and give service to the city dwellers consistent with their establishment. They have to run budgets allocated to them with a different sector within the county government allocations. This means that they must have functions which they are performing as boards, for which they are established because the urban dwellers have expectations. Therefore, I support that they must have functions, budgets to run these functions and all the cities and urban areas must run efficiently and effectively. There must be services that the city management is performing. I only need to understand if they transferred these functions procedurally. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as other services are devolved such as counties which have devolved structures like the sub-counties and the wards, the cities must also have structures within which they operate. Cities must operate in a way that services are efficiently and effectively delivered to the city dwellers. Even though these services might not have been transferred in a way that is consistent with the Senator, the city The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nitoe maoni yangu kuhusu chanjo za mifugo. Sisi watu wa Kaunti ya Tana River tumekuwa na wasiwasi kwa sababu tangu chanjo hii itangazwe na Serikali Kuu, kumeingia mushkil. Wengine wanasema zina shida na wengine wanasema ziko sawa. Tungependa Kamati husika iangalie na iseme kwa kikamilifu kwamba hizi chanjo ni safi na zitatusaidia pamoja na mifugo wetu. Pili, wanafaa kutueleza ni pesa ngapi zinatumika kwa mpango huu wa Serikali. Je hii pesa inatoka kwenye Serikali ya Kenya au kwa wafadhili yaani donors ? Swali la tatu na la mwisho, je, ni bajeti ya pesa ngapi ambayo Kaunti ya Tana River imeweka kwa minajili ya kuchanja mifugo yetu haswa wakati huu tunapoenda msimu wa mvua? Bw. Spika ningependa kamati ichunguze maswala haya ili tujue ukweli wa mambo. Watu wanataka kujua ukweli kabisa. Ikiwezekana Kamati inafaa kuwaongelesha wanasayansi wanaohusika na mambo haya kwa sababu kuna siasa ambayo imeingizwa na wale wanaohusika na sekta ya mifugo wana wasiwasi. Asante."
