Leo nina furaha sana kwa sababu nyanjani watu wengi huuliza kazi yetu ni gani. Leo ndio kazi ya Seneta itatambulika katika nchi hii ya Kenya. Leo Maseneta wamefanya kazi na tumeongeza pesa katika kaunti zetu. Pili, katika mashinani wananchi wengi watukufu wa nchi yetu huuliza mbona Seneta haijengi barabara, shule wala kutoa bursary ? Kazi kubwa ya Seneta ni kuhakikisha kwamba kaunti yake inapata pesa na miradi yote inaendelea vizuri. Bw. Spika naunga mkono Mswada huu kwa sababu kaunti yangu ya Kwale imeongezwa mgao wake na kupata zaidi ya Shilingi 400 milioni."},{"id":1435903,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1435903/?format=json","text_counter":169,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

I also join colleague Senators to agree on The County Governments Additional Allocations Bill for Financial Year 2024/2025 that has an additional of Kshs55.4 billion to counties. I am happy because my county has an additional Kshs1 billion from the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and more than Kshs300 million on the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill. This means that we have a lot of money that is going to county governments in areas of shareable revenue to complement on issues of County Aggregation and Industrial Parks (CAIPs), where my county has received Kshs250 million. I agree with these figures and support this Bill because it will really help county governments to increase their revenue by allocating more money and taking more developments to our counties. I want to add to what has been said on the 20 per cent of share of minerals and loyalties. The 20 per cent that has been provided has almost an additional of Kshs1 billion, but this is just on the 20 per cent. The 10 per cent that has been given by the law by the Mining Amendment Bill, which is supposed to go to counties, is yet to be appropriated. I urge the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to push the Ministry of Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs to give county governments, particularly communities, the 10 per cent that is being held by the national Government. It is bringing many issues in the communities because they are not getting that money. The stakeholders and industries are also paying that money to national Government. I urge the Ministry to have a structure and policy regulation that will give the 10 per cent to the communities. Otherwise, I support the Bill."},{"id":1435905,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1435905/?format=json","text_counter":171,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Naomba niweze kuungana na wenzangu katika kupongeza Bunge hili la Seneti kwa sababu ya kazi nzuri ambayo imefanyika mwaka huu. Magatuzi zetu hazina vikwazo kwa sababu tumeshawapatia pesa ambazo zitawezesha magavana kufanya kazi wanayostahili kufanya ili wananchi wa kaunti tofauti tofauti waweze kupata manufaa. Katika Kaunti ya Lamu, tumepata mgao wa zaidi ya Shilingi 300 milioni ambazo zitawezesha Kaunti ya Lamu kupata maendeleo. Tunapoongea sasa, Gavana wa Kaunti ya Lamu hana sababu ya kutoweza ku-equip hospitali zetu na madawa ya kutosha. Ukienda katika ECDE classes ambazo kwa muda mrefu katika Kaunti ya Lamu zimekuwa katika hali ambayo sio nzuri, hakuna tena sababu ya kuendelea kuwa katika The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Kisang’","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I rise to support this Bill. There are some 12 counties in Kenya that even though we have raised the equitable revenue from Kshs385 billion to Kshs400 billion, they will continue paying salaries instead of doing development for our people. The 12 counties, including Lamu, which Sen. Githuku has just spoken about, represents what they do most of the time, which is just paying salaries. For example, Elgeyo-Marakwet County is getting an additional Kshs300 million in the next financial year from Kshs4.8 billion. This additional Kshs300 million will basically go to salary increments because every 1st of July each financial year, all salaries are increased by a certain percentage. This means that this marginal increase will not even go towards development. You can imagine, you spend Kshs4 billion to pay salaries and expenses and then Kshs1 billion to do development. This is not fair to the 12 counties. Come next year when we are doing the fourth round of revision of the formula, we will propose that at least each county should get Kshs6 billion, so that they can do some meaningful development. In the next 20 years, some counties will look like Kenya and Singapore. In 1972, they were at the same level, but now Singapore is very far, and in Kenya we are still where we were because of being marginalized. Most Senators here are very happy. Nairobi City and Kiambu counties have got an additional Kshs2 billion or Kshs1.5 billion, while some of us are getting below Kshs300 million. This is unfair. On own-source revenue, we want these counties to have a unified system, so that they do not have leakages in terms of revenue. There are some counties where they have leakages of revenue, and they do not declare all that they collect. We also need to have a discussion with our counterparts in the National Assembly. The last audited accounts that the National Assembly are using to face the 15 per cent that is going to the counties is about three years ago. They need to speed up. I agree with colleagues who have said that we need to include NG-CDF also on the last audited accounts, so that they can speed up.
