"content": "For most of the things that we do, we do not necessarily require to make laws to have them done in the right manner. For example, on the issue of Funds, the Controller of Budget (CoB) has a statutory mandate to regulate formation and administration of Funds in the counties. Why is the CoB allowing proliferation of many Funds in the counties? That is an issue that the CoB should address. While still on the issue of Funds, we have the debate on Bursary Funds in our counties going on. Governors are complaining that they cannot run Bursary Funds without a kitty. The problem with Bursary Funds in the counties is just inability to follow the law. Issuance of bursaries is a national Government function. However, the Constitution provides that whenever any level of Government wants to perform a function that is not theirs, they need to have an intergovernmental agreement with the other. Most of the Bursary Funds that are run in our counties are not supported by intergovernmental agreements with the national Government. That is where the problem is. So, they can run Bursary Funds, but only if they have an intergovernmental agreement with the national Government, which they do not have."

It is now a cash cow for county officials. That is why they are fighting hard to have bursary funds to continue running without an intergovernmental relations agreement. We encourage governors to take the step of having intergovernmental relations agreement with the national Government on how this Fund should be run and continue giving bursaries. They should not be allowed to run bursary funds without any legal framework like what is happening at the moment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by the Senator for Trans Nzoia."

"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Ningependa kuunga mkono Taarifa iliyoletwa na Sen. Abass, ambaye ni Seneta wa Wajir, kuhusu Uwanja wa Ndege wa Wajir. Uwanja wa ndege ukisimamiwa na wanajeshi inaleta hali ya sintofahamu kwa sababu wananchi wa kawaida wanapata ugumu wa kusafiri. Kabla ya uwanja huo kuchukuliwa na wanajeshi, kuna watu wetu ambao walikuwa wanautumia. Kwa sasa, ni watu wachache tu ambao wanautumia. Kuna basi moja pekee linalomilikiwa na KAA kusafirisha watu katika uwanja huo. Pengine wangefuata kilichotendeka Lanet kule Nakuru wakati Mji wa Nakuru ulipandishwa na kuwa Jiji. Waligawanya Uwanja wa Ndege wa Nakuru mara mbili ili kuwe na sehemu wa wanajeshi na sehemu nyingine kutumiwa na wananchi wa kawaida. Hii ni kwa sababu sheria zinazotumiwa na wanajeshi ni ngumu ambazo wananchi wa kawaida hawazielewi. Sheria za wanajeshi si kama za maafisa wa polisi ambao wanajua jinsi ya kuishi na wananchi wa kawaida. Bw. Spika wa Muda, napendekeza kuwa kamati ambayo itashughulikia Kauli hii izingatie kuwa na migao miwili katika uwanja ule kwa sababu ni mkubwa. Kunafaa kuwe na sehemu ya raia na nyingine ya wanajeshi ili wafanye kazi yao. Vile vile, Bw. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kuchangia Kauli iliyoletwa na Sen. Okenyuri kuhusu watu kupata makao. Inapaswa Kauli hiyo iangaliwe vizuri na kuwe na mikakati tosha ili mtu asipokuwa na makao, ijulikane anaishi wapi kabla ya kupewa mahali pa kuishi. Makao hayo yanapaswa kupeanwa bure bila mtu kulipa chochote kwa sababu watu hao ni masikini hohe hahe; hawana mbele wala nyuma. Kazi kuu ya Serikali ni kupatia watu makao na kulinda maisha yao na vile vile kile walichonacho. Kwa hivyo, naunga mkono Kauli iliyoletwa na Sen. Okenyuri. Tunapaswa kuwa na mikakati ambayo itatumiwa ili watu kupewa nyumba. Kulingana na Kauli iliyoletwa hapa, Serikali itatoa kwa wale ambao hawana vyeti vya kumiliki mashamba. Katika sehemu nyingi za Kenya, watu hawana vyeti vya kumiliki mashamba. Kwa mfano, kule Laikipia, kuna sehemu kama vile Thome, Marmanet na Rumuruti. Watu wanaishi bila vyeti vya kumiliki mashamba. Hati hizo zinaweza kuwasaidia kukopa---"
