Speaker, I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee regarding the status of the social services projects earmarked by the Budget and Appropriations Committee during the public hearings in the Financial Year 2024/2025. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Appropriations regarding delay in the implementation of infrastructural projects earmarked for the Financial Year 2024/2025. Following a public participation hearing by the Committee on Budget and Appropriations in Turkana County in the current Financial Year 2024/2025, Turkana County was allocated Ksh100 million to be shared among six constituencies for project allocation identified by constituents through their respective Members of Parliament. These specific projects were in the itemized budget and captured in the budget books as approved by this House for implementation by their respective State Departments. Loima Constituency had two sets of infrastructural projects falling under the State Department of Basic Education and the State Department for Technical and Vocational Education andTraining ( TVETs). They included implementations of projects at Saint Bakhita Girls Secondary School for the construction of teachers' houses, ablution blocks, and classrooms. Others included construction of a perimeter wall or fence at Loima Technical and Vocational Training. The implementation of these projects has not commenced despite funds being budgeted and allocated in the vote heads, noting that the Financial Year is coming to an end. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Appropriations on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection regarding delays in the disbursement of funds for the Hunger Safety Net Programme (HSNP). The HSNP is one of the flagship social protection initiatives under the Kenya National Safety Net Programme, and is implemented through the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). The programme targets vulnerable populations in arid and semi-arid areas by providing predictable and regular cash transfers aimed at cushioning vulnerable households from food insecurity and poverty. Regrettably for close to eight months now, beneficiaries under the HSNP have not received the funds. This delay has impacted over 100,000 households, exacerbating hunger, malnutrition and deepening poverty in the affected areas. The non-disbursement negatively affects the socio- economic status of communities dependent on the programmes. Further, lack of representation of persons from arid and semi-arid areas in NDMA raises concerns on the effective management of the challenges faced in the areas. It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection on the following: 1. A report on the status of disbursement of funds from the HSNP to support vulnerable populations in the arid and semi-arid areas, including Turkana County. 2. The reasons for the delay in the disbursement of cash transfers to the vulnerable groups and a report on challenges facing HSNP related to financing, operations and communication. 3. A report on the human resource audit undertaken by NDMA, addressing allegations of disparities in ethnic and regional representation of beneficiaries under HSNP. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

The Cabinet Secretary wrote a letter to us last evening, indicating that there is an ongoing Cabinet retreat, making him unavailable for today’s meeting. Considering that we will be going for recess, hopefully next week, I need your guidance on what I should do with the requests by Members. It is a big backlog."

Allow me to welcome the students and to tell them that they are strong to serve. They are welcome to the National Assembly, where their representatives represent them and the people of Kenya. As they work hard in school, they must bear in mind that this country looks up to them, not just as the future leaders, but also as present and active citizens of our country. We want them to be the best examples that they can be to other young people. I welcome them to the National Assembly. I was the House Captain of Smith House in 1994, and I also served as the Senior Prefect in charge of discipline at the Alliance High School. That is why I am a very disciplined person. I had to lead by example. Even as I lead the House, I want to ensure that each and every one of us, including the Member for Juja, becomes a disciplined legislator. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 43(1), I rise to make a Statement of great national importance regarding a blood donation drive scheduled to be hosted by the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA), on Monday, 23rd June 2025, within Parliament Buildings. The KYPA has organised a blood donation drive within Parliament in commemoration of the 2025 World Blood Donor Day, which was observed last week on 14th June 2025. This event comes at a time when the country is facing a persistent shortfall in blood supply, with the annual national demand far outpacing the available voluntary blood donations. While our health professionals have been working tirelessly to save lives, many patients have to wait, and sometimes perish in the course of waiting simply because blood was not available in time. This situation calls on us, parliamentarians, by virtue of our unique positions, to influence positive change in embracing voluntary blood donation to save lives. This is because our voices as leaders can shape public opinion, inspire trust and unlock positive responses to the much- needed resources for the Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service (KNBTS). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

Your participation in the drive will be greatly symbolic and transformative. I also encourage Members to use their platforms, both in Parliament, constituencies and counties to create awareness on blood donation. They should also address the cultural, religious, and logistical barriers that hinder voluntary blood donation. This will inspire your constituents to participate in the ongoing and future blood donation drives to boost our blood banks. To encourage further voluntary blood donation in the country, I call upon the House to support legislative and budgetary efforts to strengthen Kenya’s blood donation system. That includes modernising blood infrastructure, promoting plasma fractionation, and enabling blood service reimbursement under the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF). I will, at an appropriate stage, table a Motion to declare June as Kenya’s national blood donation month. This will serve as a lasting legacy that will institutionalize annual nationwide blood donation efforts in the country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

We held four meetings in the course of our mediation. The process of mediation requires extensive consultations. To date, I thank the various stakeholders who engaged us in the process of arriving at a mediated figure. I thank the President of the Republic of Kenya because we had to engage the presidency at some stage, to help us iron out some of the challenges that we had in the process. I also thank the National Treasury because we had to talk to it so that we could arrive at a figure agreeable to both parties. We learned so many things in the process of mediation. County governments are doing many tremendous programmes which most of our Members are not aware of. Many times, you find most of us castigating counties and saying they are not making very good progress. I confirm to this House that we realised counties are doing so much, especially in facilitating national programmes like in the health sector."

"content": "Counties are also engaging in programmes involving agriculture. Many counties are also succeeding in doing much infrastructure like tarmacking roads. The amount of money we allocate to counties is not in vain. Hon. Speaker, I confirm that both the President and this House are committed to devolution. This is shown by the fact that we were able to arrive at a historical figure. This is because we moved through the mediation process, from Ksh405 billion to Ksh415 billion. We realised an increase of about Ksh10 billion. This shows that this House and the National Government are committed to devolution. I confirm to Members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) that this figure agreed upon between the National Assembly and the Senate is very progressive. I ask them to accept it, because this is a step in the right direction to ensure devolution succeeds. During mediation, some issues came up. One of them was non-discretionary expenditures. These are expenditures that are due to counties not because of their own liking, but because of some of the programmes they are doing in consultation with the National Government. The total non-discretionary expenditures are about Ksh34 billion. Counties are grappling with how to realise resources to fund these programmes. That is the reason we decided, in our mediation process, that we need to enhance the share of allocation to counties by about Ksh27 billion. The share of allocation to counties is Ksh387 billion in this Financial Year. However, we added a total of about Ksh27 billion to help the county governments fund these non-discretionary expenditures. Some of them include housing levy deductions. When it was introduced, it was not anticipated that counties would incur additional expenditures, courtesy of this law. These deductions are about Ksh4.1 billion annually.

All these expenditures require us to increase our allocations to counties. The process went on very well. We held four successful mediation meetings. Ultimately, we concluded that this money will help our counties to advance and prosper. Therefore, I urge Members of this House to support and adopt this Report so that we move forward.

Members from the National Assembly who were in the mediation team. They are my neighbour seated here, Hon. GK, Hon. Naisula Lesuuda, Hon. Zamzam, who is the Woman Representative for Mombasa County, and others who are not in the Chamber now. We also thank the Senate team led by Senator Roba for their understanding during the negotiation process, and for agreeing on the mediated figure of Ksh410 billion. This is money that will be appropriated to the 47 counties. The law states that the money that has already been appropriated to the county governments cannot be reduced, even if the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) does not reach revenue collection target. This means that the National Government will bear responsibility. Putting that into consideration, we urge the counties to use this money judiciously. Let it go to the projects they are meant for. Some counties like Elgeyo Marakwet and Taita Taveta have not realised serious development owing to the current formula. After this mediation, there will be a new formula from the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) which has been approved by the Senate and forwarded to this House. This means that all the 12 counties that have not realised meaningful development will now develop. This will enable them to move forward. When you visit counties, what you see in most cases is what the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) has done. You will see projects like schools, administrative offices like those for the Assistant Chiefs, Chiefs, Assistant County Commissioners, and Deputy County Commissioners. You will also see police stations, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices and security infrastructure. However, you do not see anything tangible from the county governments. The Senate should provide proper oversight to the counties. There is some bit of laxity on the oversight role. Yesterday, I watched the Senate proceedings when Senator Sifuna was playing his oversight role in Trans Nzoia County, and I was happy. Senator Kajwang’ – not Hon. TJ Kajwang’ – who is the Chairman of the County Public Accounts Committee in the Senate put my Governor on his toes. I hope Governor Natembeya will respond appropriately to those questions. If he cannot, then wananchi and I will deal with him. This money that has been allocated to counties must be used for the county functions. When you look at the Budget of the National Government, there is Ksh13 billion for primary healthcare. Surprisingly, when you go to the counties, many Level 2, 3 and 4 hospitals do not provide necessary services. We have also recapitalised the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) to a tune of Ksh1.5 billion, which means they should supply enough medicines to all our health facilities. Therefore, I call upon the counties to ensure that the health facilities are properly equipped with health products and technologies to ensure services are rendered to wananchi. When you look at the number of devolved functions, health is a major function. It is followed by agriculture and then water. County governments should ensure that this money sent to the counties provides minimum services to mwananchi. This is the only way we can reap from devolution.

That is not what we wanted with devolution. I applaud the Committee of the National Assembly that mediated the Division of Revenue Bill together with the Senate. I hope that the House will support this Motion, so that we can appropriate resources to the counties so that they can have meaningful development. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I second the Motion."

Therefore, when we speak of money going to your counties in this coming financial year, it should be the Ksh415 billion plus the Ksh55 billion, which is a whooping Ksh470 billion, which is Ksh5 billion above the Ksh465 billion that our good Senators and the Council of Governors (COG) sought. Over and above that, we have another close to Ksh10 billion – about Ksh9.6 billion – through the Equalisation Fund that is again going to counties."

I have never figured out the reason for that. His agitation notwithstanding, he was very passionate about the Equalisation Fund money, pleading that this money should have been implemented through constituencies. Whether through a model like the one for the NG-CDF, or any other model. I could identify with what Hon. Moroto was saying because I have been to his county, and they lagging behind like many other counties. This fund was meant to uplift those counties lagging behind. Unfortunately, with devolution, the more the money that goes to a county, the more corruption there is in that county, and the more backward that county continues to be. I do not know why that is so. If you look at the counties that benefit with the highest amounts, corruption is also very rampant, but I do not want to name any particular county. Most of those counties are still in the same state they were at the advent of devolution. You have to ask yourself where all this money is going to. When I listen to the Hon. Vice-Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee speak and allude to some counties like his County, Trans-Nzoia, I could not help but imagine that these are the same governors, who when they are accused of corruption and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) summons them to appear before it or they are arrested, mobilise goons to burn EACC offices and police cars on account of being asked to be accountable for the money."

We just came from a painful journey with the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF). Walk to any county in this country, Members of the County Assembly (MCA) say openly that the RMLF is the only money they would get to eat. Therefore, we are saying it here that when Governors get the RMLF money, we must be emphatic and give conditions that will ensure that it goes specifically to constructing roads; not just murram roads, but they must tarmac the roads. I know we are about to do legislation around the issues that the courts made a decision. We must conditionalise that money to ensure that there is no county in this country is without a shopping centre or some sort of urban population, and that at least that goes to tarmac roads in those urban centres. If they are doing rural roads, they must be the ones already identified in work plans by the Kenya Roads Board (KRB) so that we stem the abuse of all these monies going to the counties. We cannot give Ksh415 billion in sharable revenue then it is all stolen. If you look at the Controller of Budget’s Report, you will be shocked by the percentage of money going to development in this sharable revenue. This is because if I am elected the Governor today, I will fire ward administrators, sub-county administrators and village liaison officers who are on permanent and pensionable terms employed by my predecessor in the county. When a new governor comes into office, they recruit their own kin, friends and campaigners into the same permanent and pensionable jobs. They then start crying all over that they have no money for development. You have no money for development because you have failed in governance. You do not have to employ every person who campaigned for you. Grow the economies in the counties, and your supporters and those who campaigned for you will get jobs when economies in your counties are growing. When roads and hospitals are functional, those economies will thrive. In return, all your supporters and citizens in your counties will have job opportunities."

Right now, the county governments want to lay their hands on the Equalisation Fund.

I indicated earlier that we need that money to be put into infrastructure to help the entire rural area in my constituency get the national grid. By the way, the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) has the materials; all they need to do is provide labour. That place would have lit up the entire constituency. However, when you put that in the hands of governors, what happens? That money only facilitates labour and transport. Ksh200 million can light up my entire constituency, help with labour and transport as well. The materials are there with the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC). I do not know why even the Executive is afraid of the county governments. Why are they allowed to carry out the kind of corruption they are engaging in, which is rampant and unbridled? It is runaway and amok corruption. That is where the problem lies. Somebody told me the other day that old age and death begin from the legs. When one grows old, one begins to lose strength in the legs. The muscles cease to function. Why is this country experiencing institutional atrophy, beginning with the county governments and governors, who are crooked? They treat national resources as their personal property, while the Executive sits idly. This message goes directly to the Executive and all relevant agencies mandated to act. These are agencies that should be enforcing the law and protecting national resources for the benefit of Kenyans. When these things happen, as they are happening now, and public participation is nearly non-existent, people are enriching themselves and we are allowing it to happen. We are allowing hundreds of billions of shillings meant for Kenyans to go to waste. Governors are flying in choppers and planes, treating public resources as their estate. We have a serious problem in this country. This House, being a legislative body and a law-making organ has the express authority and constitutional mandate to act. We must begin addressing these issues decisively. We must declare that we shall not pass any appropriation before accountability measures are put in place. You will recall the time we tried to negotiate the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) before the courts intervened. The governors were pushing hard for control of that fund. They are now coming for the NG-CDF as well. The goal is not to serve the people through transparent, independent agencies. They simply want to steal. They are also misappropriating donor funds. I wish to state my position clearly: we have a problem in this country. We are talking about corruption, but it is the same corrupt individuals who enjoy the support of local communities. That is because Parliament has failed in its oversight role. The Executive has failed. The enforcement agencies responsible for law and order and the protection of national resources are also failing. We have a crisis. There is a crisis of resources. There is a crisis of poverty. Rampant poverty. The amount of money being disbursed to counties through devolution should be transforming the lives of ordinary citizens. It should be changing the lives of students. If the Senate has reduced itself to a body that becomes pliant during impeachment proceedings, allowing governors to move around, dishing out money and influencing Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), then we are in trouble. Governors go out and mobilise elders and other stakeholders to pressure MCAs to drop impeachment motions. These actions are deeply troubling. The ordinary citizen must be educated. There must be a robust civic education programme to inform people that every shilling must be accounted for. At the national level, at the county level, and even at the level of the NG-CDF. We are not the managers of the NG- CDF; it is managed by a board. However, everything must be accountable. We are a nation with resources, but the resources are not reaching the people. Kenyans are suffering. Students across the country are suffering. The little money available for bursaries The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

We become part of the rot. We can see the kind of problems going on in the country. Kenya is bleeding. That is not in question. Let us rise, as legislators. Let us utilise the necessary instruments through committees and legislative tools to amend the law where necessary, and stop thieves from plundering national resources. We are the law-making institution. We have the tools to put a bridle on these excesses, yet we are not using them. With those many remarks, and in view of the bleeding that this country is experiencing due to the rampant misuse of our resources and runaway corruption, I rest my case. But I urge my colleagues; let us rise and protect Kenyans. Let us protect the limited resources we have and ensure they are used properly. There is no medicine in hospitals. There is nothing.

When it comes to education, counties are only responsible for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres and village polytechnics. All other education infrastructure is supported through the NG-CDF. These are simple, visible things, yet they are not being done. More importantly, Hon. Speaker, I have observed that a lot of donor funding is being channelled through counties, particularly funds from the World Bank. If you examine the housing programme, you will see that county governments are taking the lead as the ones doing it, yet the money is appropriated by this House. For instance, in my constituency, all the four markets are being constructed by the National Government, but the county government will own them. They are using these projects to shine or to show that they are working, yet the appropriated money from this Division of Revenue is not seen. The other problem we have in this arrangement of county governments is the issue of the Senate. There are two things here: First, there is an obsession by Senators with wanting to become governors. They have, therefore, punctured their oversight in terms of focus. Secondly, the obsession of calling Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) to the Senate must be dealt with once and for all. They have lost the ability and mandate to oversee governors. For instance, the former Member here, Hon. John Mbadi, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, has gone to the Senate five times. What is he going to do? Appropriation and money matters are in this House. We must deal with this problem through our Standing Orders. We must be clear that CSs appear before the National Assembly. When there is a disciplinary issue, it is the National Assembly to should deal with it. Even a Censure Motion cannot be done by the Senate. They have lost the time to call governors to order, because they are too busy focusing on CSs and what they can do with them. Those two issues must be dealt with in this House. Otherwise, we will keep going round in circles, and the issue of Senate oversight will remain lost. As I support, I would like to put that on record."

For the first time, the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Mbadi, will ensure that we get the Equalisation Fund. However, the question is: How are we going to use these resources? It is very unfortunate that a governor decides to have as many advisors as he wants, and this money turns into foreign trips. That is why we are facing challenges. The country’s growth is below expectations because the money sent for growth, to build markets and support micro-entrepreneurs and SMEs is gone .The governor will then decide what he wants to pay or not to pay. Hon. Speaker, look at Kenyans suffering from diabetes. In this country, insulin injections cost Ksh750 per day. I want to call on the governors: we need to reduce these prices. Our people are dying. The health sector is in their hands. You should stop looking for bursaries. You must focus on managing and helping the people so that we can save lives in this country. I wish they could concentrate 100 per cent on health, and we focus 100 per cent on education. We would have transformed our country. Lastly, Hon. Martha Wangari, Hon.

Today, Senators have no idea about whatever is happening on their own doorstep, or whether a family has a sick person. They have not conducted monitoring or evaluation in their own counties. They do not know how many people suffer from chronic diseases, yet 98 per cent of health functions were devolved. As I finalise, I want to state that you cannot bring us murram roads in Nairobi. You should remember that we tarmac our roads. All counties must start tarmacking their roads. The funds from the National Government must be used to tarmac roads, not to make murram ones. We must be serious about this and stop the misuse. I plead with counties to awaken themselves. It has been 15 years: you should be showing us stronger counties that can sustain themselves without the National Government. I beg to support. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Yes, we are the defendants. Most cases were initiated by either the Senate or the Council of Governors. I urge the Senate and the Council of Governors to take that cue. Instead of running to court, we should try and mediate our issues. In fact, it looks very untidy to a Kenyan that the Constitution says that there is the Parliament of Kenya, and then the Parliament of Kenya sues itself. It is actually an oxymoron, and it should be discouraged. We must understand that even though the Constitution creates institutions that are independent, they are also interdependent. That independence must not be taken to its illogical conclusion. We need not be antagonistic all the time. We can sit, discuss and agree. In fact, if we were to take the hard stance all the time, this House would emerge as the victor. I think this House has purposefully taken a step back for the betterment of the nation. It is a good thing that we were able, and we are navigating even the issue of the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMFL). As we directed yesterday, we will be having a Kamukunji on it on Tuesday. As directed by the Court, we will be considering Sections 6 and 47 of the Kenya Roads Act. I believe that when we look at it, there are two things we ought to look at: One is the question of percentages. The court cannot determine for us how much to allocate; it can only encourage that we do not exclude. We will be talking percentages. We should go beyond percentages and talk about purpose. If we appropriate a certain percentage of the RFML, we should outline the exact purpose. It cannot before the purposes of constructing a footpath next to my home. It is now time we consider this because we are all suffering. While we can usually engage with the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) to try and do some murram roads here and there, the few roads that were tarmacked are all now being wiped out. We should now restrict anything that is allocated to the counties to the low-volume tarmac in the urban areas within our constituencies; that way, we can see what is being done. That is very important. If you take note of the two examples that are fully devolved – health and sports – many of the counties would rush to construct health facilities because that is easy politically. However, they would then not put any drugs because that is expensive, and it is not visible. Also, many counties would rush to put up a sports facility because that is visible, but fail to invest in sports equipment or sports tournaments. The idea of sports was removed from the NG-CDF, and none of us is now involved. In the whole country now, you will realise that there are no longer sports tournaments. The development of sports talent then just dies like that. I would like to conclude by saying that in the context of all this is the question of the NG-CDF. As the Speaker directed, we will be discussing this matter next week, especially the constitutional amendment, and then go on recess. At this point, I would like to urge Members to plan for next week so that you can be here. It would be a very unfortunate situation if we get to next week when we are supposed to raise two-thirds of the House, and then we hear that some Members are in their constituencies, abroad, in their offices, or in all sorts of other businesses that usually engage them. This is much more fundamental. I support, Hon. Speaker."

We must remind them that devolution has been here for over 10 years, and we have not reached the level envisioned by the drafters of the Constitution. Members of Parliament are still being approached to work on issues that are supposed to be handled by the county governments. Civic education should done to the members of the public to know the function of Members of Parliament under Articles 95 and 96 of the Constitution, and what the governors are supposed to do. Whenever we visit our constituencies, we are approached by people asking about water, hospitals, feeder roads and everything. When we tell them that this is supposed to be done by the governors, they tell us that they elected us, and they do not know these governors and the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). They want us to implement the suggested projects. This is challenging. There has been a gradual growth in the revenue allocated to the counties. From Ksh370 billion, and now we are at Ksh415 billion. The question is, where does this money go to? We know it gets to the counties, but what does it do? They only move around and across the counties. The roles of the county governments include building Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) classrooms, and constructing feeder roads, but this is still a challenge. Yesterday, I was engaging one Senator who was in the Mediation team, and he confided in me that even after pushing for the allocation, they know that out of the 47 governors, only three of them are working. When I asked him why they were pushing for Ksh430 billion, he said they were just enriching them. It is quite sad. What this money is used for nowadays will surprise you. It is only meant to create a group of people who are paid monthly and move around with the governors to public functions as cheering squads. You will notice that even the standing position is the same. They go around with the governor everywhere, be it in churches or at funerals. Their job description is to cheer whenever the governors stand to speak so that everyone thinks they are popular. This is a sad reality. Counties are not doing what they are supposed to be doing. The drafters of the Constitution envisioned that the money would get closer to people, and the responsibilities would be limited to that area; so would development. This is not happening. The roads are in a pathetic condition. The other day when they were engaging us over the RMLF, where yours truly sent us, we took four hours debating about Ksh10 billion, and we could not agree. In fact, they got to a point and said that if we did not agree, they would shut down the counties. However, we told them that we would not feel the impact, since even when they are in operation, we do not feel them. Therefore, their shutting down would be inconsequential. We are promoting the culture of goons by allocating significant funds to hire them from one corner of the country to another. I have always stated, and I shall repeat, that as you move around the country, you will see the work of the NGAAF and the NG-CDF. You will see, in the public eyes, water tanks being distributed by the gracious ladies from this House. You will also witness them providing bursaries, albeit with a meagre amount of approximately Ksh40 million. Hon. Speaker, for the billions allocated to county governments, one would need a microscope to identify any tangible achievements. All you see is a group of individuals travelling with a convoy of 30 to 40 vehicles to a single function—one carrying a podium, another carrying a chair, another a carpet, another a toilet, and yet another who knows what else. Their aim is merely to hear a queue of people calling out, \"Oh, Your Excellency.\" How can we refer to individuals who do not work as \"Your Excellency\"? Stop calling them that! We need to empower the county assemblies. It is time we rethought how to empower these assemblies so that they have a replica system to ours, enabling them to enjoy greater autonomy and perhaps more development funds. We are enriching individuals who are creating a demigod status for themselves.

"content": "the point that you cannot even sleep in your own house because they send goons after you. It is indeed very sad. We urge the Senate to do their work. Their responsibility is to oversee the county governments. What purpose do they serve by inviting a Cabinet Secretary for matters of national security, engaging in theatrics, when they have no means to reprimand, impeach, or even invoke an impeachment motion? What is their interest? Can they do their work. If they genuinely care about the security of Kenyans, they should invite the kanjo to the Senate and inquire why they resort to using rungus at work. The Seante should cease these attempts of fighting for recognition when they know they are merely playing to the public gallery. They are aware that they are simply whipping up emotions, claiming to be the Upper House capable of engaging the Cabinet Secretary, whilst knowing they possess no power to reprimand or even call for a motion of impeachment against anyone in the national Government. Therefore, I urge the Senate to stand firm and resolute against the governors stealing from Kenyans. It is time we questioned them, through the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC), about what further measures they implement to safeguard these funds. All we see are theatrics; a governor appears, sometimes answers questions anyhow, and is subsequently asked to leave. These performances are everywhere on TV, and ultimately, that is where it ends. It is indeed sad. Kenyans are losing a lot of money. We must find a way to ensure that these funds are traced back to the grassroots. We need value for the money and taxes that Kenyans pay. With those many remarks, I still support the Ksh415 billion, although I wish it had been reduced to Ksh200. Thank you."

I do not wish to echo what my colleagues have said, but the intention of devolution was to foster successful development in all parts of this country. We had so many issues about balanced development in the 1980s. After nearly 15 years, we expected devolution to have considerably changed the rural landscape. However, as we stand here today, many areas in this country have not seen or felt the impact of devolution. While a few billionaires have emerged in the counties, many others are grappling with poverty, depression, and various challenges. Medical care remains a major challenge. As we move forward, we urge the Senate to act. They are the biggest let-down in addressing devolution challenges. Hon. Speaker, as a senior Member, I encourage you to invite your former colleagues for a cup of tea someday to discuss the missing link in the improved performance of county governments, which is essentially the Senate. With those very few remarks, I support."

Kwanza, nachukua fursa hii kuipongeza Kamati andalizi ambayo imefanya mikakati hii. Haikuwa jambo rahisi, na tulikuwa na swintofahamu hapa na pale, lakini mishowe tuliafikiana. Ugatuzi ulikuja ili kufikisha huduma kwa wananchi wa chini. Wajibu wa kamati hii ulikuwa ugavi sawa wa rasilimali baina ya serikali Kuu na serikali za ugatuzi. Kwa sasa, serikali za ugatuzi zimeongezewa fedha katika mgao wao. Naomba tu magavana wahakikishe kuwa huduma zinafikia wananchi, haswa katika sekta ya afya. Utapata mgonjwa anakufa katika Intensive Care Unit (ICU) kwa sababu saa zingine mashine zinazimika ama hazifanfyi kazi. Kama Mama Kaunti, nimejibidiisha kuhakikisha ongezeko katika kaunti ya Mombasa, na kaunti zinginezo. Kwa hivyo, naomba magavana wahakikishe kuwa huduma kama za barabara zimezingatiwa. Kitu ambacho nahitaji kutoka kwa magavana ni kuhakikisha kuwa huduma na vile vile barabara ni bora. Hii ni kwa sababu kutoka shillingi bilioni 405, tumeweza kusukuma hadi tumefika bilioni 415. Zaidi ya hiyo, kunazo shilingi bilioni 55 zimetengwa kwa ujenzi wa barabara. Pia kunazo shilingi bilioni 10 ambazo ni za Equalisation Fund . Ukijumlisha hizi pesa zote katika zile ambazo walikuwa wanataka, shilingi bilioni 450, hata zimeongezeka zimefika kama bilioni 485. Kwa hivyo, kitu ambacho tunataka serikali za kaunti kuhakikisha ni kuwa huduma na madawa yawe yanapatikana hospitalini. Hatutaki kuona mama ambaye amejifungua analipishwa kupokea huduma, na mtoto pia analipishwa. Huo ni wizi au ni dhuluma. Hatutaki kuona wagonjwa hospitalini wanakosa madawa. Juzi na hata jana, tulishuhudia katika mkutano waliokuwa maafisa wa Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) kwamba bilioni 90 imepotea kwa sababu madawa zili expire ilhali Wakenya wanakosa madawa katika hospitali. Mhe.Spika, ukiangalia barabara zinazojengwa Mashinani, unapata zinawekwa patches, vinawekwa vitambara. Barabara hazijengwi vizuri kwa sababu kuna mtu amekaa mahali anajua atajenga barabara vibaya, halafu kesho na kesho kutwa, pesa zingine zitakuja na atazidi kuweka viraka. Mhe. Spika, tumekuwa tukipoteza pesa nyingi sana katika kaunti zetu, na Wakenya wanaangalia. Vijana na kina mama wanaangalia huduma gani inayo kuja mashinani. Na kama alivyosema ndugu yangu, Mhe. Osoro, licha ya kaunti kupata mgao mdogo sana – kama vile Mombasa imetengewa shilingi milioni 46 – tunawawezesha kina mama mpaka watu wa The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Wanafanya Serikali ya Taifa hili kulemazwa. Kila wakati, Rais analaumiwa, ilhali kunao viongozi wamepewa nafasi kuweza kufanya kazi, na hawafanyi kazi. Hizi pesa tumewapa, tunataka mjenge Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes. Kuna wengine tuliona hata Seneta alifanya oversight . Alitoa ripoti yake iliyobainisha kuwa shule inaandikwa kuwa imejengwa na shilingi milioni 100, lakini ukiingia ground, hakuna skuli.

This House expects governors to restrict themselves to their mandate, and develop counties with the resources they have been given. Hon. Speaker, I also would like to join Members who are asking the Senate to undertake the oversight responsibilities. My observation is that the Senate is composed of many young legislators.

I will leave that for now. We have tabled an elaborate Report that covers all the hearings of the five nominees. I urge Members who have not read it to do so, so that we do not spend a lot of time on it. The first nominee was Ms Eunice Adoyo Otieno Arwa, aged 52, who is proposed to be the Chairperson of the Tribunal. She is a seasoned advocate who satisfied all the constitutional requirements in terms of her ability to serve as the chairperson. She has served in several other similar tribunals. Those were positive attributes that qualified Ms Otieno Arwa to serve as the chairperson for the appointed period. The second nominee to be vetted was Ms Christabel Mideva Eboso, a young lady of 32 years. She is the Generation Z (Gen Z) representative, and it is good to speak positively about her. She is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya, and has practised law for quite a while. She has also been involved in various tribunal matters, which gives her the necessary experience and qualifications to serve on this Tribunal. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "The third nominee was Ms Elizabeth Mbithe Mulwa, aged 41 years; another Gen Z whom we were pleased to vet. She is also an advocate of the High Court of Kenya and fully qualifies to serve as a member of the Tribunal. The fourth nominee was Dr Leonard Kinyulusi, who is not an advocate. The law requires that two of the members of the Tribunal need not be advocates. He is well educated. The Report indicates that he has written extensively on various topics in law, social work and dispute resolution. That experience qualified him to serve on this Tribunal. Last was Mr Mohamed Sheikh Noor, who is also not a lawyer. He is a self-made man from Northern Kenya, aged 50 years. He has studied quite a lot about social matters, religion and dispute resolution. Since this is the Public Benefit Organisations Dispute Tribunal (PBODT), we were of the opinion that Mr Mohamed Sheikh Noor was well-suited to serve. For the ease of the House, Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) were previously called Non- Governmental Organisations (NGOs). We had all that in mind when considering the nomination of these five persons. The procedure of their nomination fully satisfied the provisions of the relevant Public Benefit Organisations Act. The nominees satisfied the requirements under the Constitution and all the necessary statutory requirements, including citizenship, leadership, ethics, integrity and tax compliance. The nominees also met the integrity threshold under Chapter Six of the Constitution. They all demonstrated knowledge of topical, administrative and technical issues of the positions to which they have been nominated. They also have the requisite abilities, academic qualifications and professional experience to be approved for appointment. We assessed the nominees' suitability for the appointments based on whether their abilities, experience, and qualities met the needs of the body they were nominated to. We concluded that they demonstrated a deep understanding of the affairs of Public Benefit Organisations, dispute resolution mechanisms, and their respective roles as chairperson and members As a general observation, we were convinced, as a Committee, that the PBODT is the only tribunal that requires vetting. We have proposed to look at that afresh to confirm whether we should nominate all members of all tribunals. I wish to inform the House that we are re- engineering and will re-submit and re-publish the Tribunals Bill so that we come up with a Tribunals Act on the various tribunals in the country. We will consider whether it will be necessary to vet tribunal members, or if we should leave it to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Judiciary to appoint members to various tribunals. The Committee now recommends that this House approves Ms Eunice Adoyo Otieno as the Chairperson of the PBODT, and Ms Christabel Mideva Eboso, Ms Elizabeth Mbithe Mulwa, Dr Leonard Kinyulusi, and Mr Mohamed Sheikh Noor as members of the PBODT. On a light note, you will notice that age has been considered to the fullest. The ages of the members are spread across various generations. We have good words for the Gen Z because they have a member in the Tribunal. Secondly, the gender parity and equality requirement has been satisfied in favour of the ladies, because three ladies and two men serve on the Tribunal. This is a positive step, and we commend the Judiciary for it. With those few remarks, having called upon the House to approve the appointment of the five nominees, it is my singular pleasure to invite Nominated Member, Hon. Suleka Harun, to second the Motion."

The nominees also demonstrated deep understanding of issues to do with the PBODT, including conflict resolution mechanisms they will employ in their roles on the Tribunal. I was excited by these appointments because we always fight for the two-thirds gender rule for every appointment in this country. However, we are celebrating today because the Tribunal has three women out of the five nominees. Women are the majority. I also congratulate the Chief Justice who has done justice to our ladies in this country. Secondly, the youth issue has also been covered very well. Three out of five members fall under the Gen Z and Millennial brackets. I also want to congratulate them for considering the Gen Zs in their appointment. Gen Zs are not only on the streets, but we have serious Gen Zs who are taking part in crucial matters of this country. An example is Ms Christabel Eboso, who did so well in the interview until we did not even get a chance to ask her more questions in the vetting process. I congratulate her on that, and all the nominees who have made it to this list. As I second, I urge the House to consider these members. Congratulations to the Committee and the good work they have done. I second. Thank you."

"content": " Yes, that is the correct pronunciation. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I fully support this Motion on the appointment of these very diligent Kenyans to this tribunal. I confirm that I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs under the leadership of Hon. Murugara, who led us in doing this very important assignment. What excites me in this Report and its findings is that the members of this tribunal are very well educated. Apart from that, we have two very young members in this tribunal who demonstrated ability in the responsibility that they are just about to assume. We have had very many tribunals, commissions and assignments in this country that have only been given to the very senior citizens in this country. However now, seeing very young people being given opportunities to work in this high-level tribunal inspires confidence in the young people of this country. It gives them confidence that indeed, there are opportunities for them when they get the training and education that is needed of them. These members are coming from different regions in this Republic. This means that there is fair distribution of opportunities. I believe that this is the way to go, even with the opportunities to come. I therefore support."

First, I identify myself with the findings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on their assessment and the subsequent presentation of the nominees. Tribunals play a very great role, especially when there are issues related to disputes. The Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) are what used to be called Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). These organisations are both local and international. They engage themselves in various activities, like education and health. They are also involved in public awareness in various parts of this country. In many cases, they are required to adhere to the legal status of the country.

In the process, a lot of disputes would arise. Therefore, a tribunal becomes very important, because when these disputes between the government and these NGOs arise, there must be someone to listen to them. Many of them require legal decisions to be made. We also need a lot of fairness when a dispute arises. Tribunals also provide legal experts. That is why I need to identify myself with the nominees. Are the nominees qualified to perform these responsibilities? These are lawyers of good standing, and they are people from very strong backgrounds. To me, they are able to discharge the responsibilities of a tribunal. The Committee has looked at their Curriculum Vitae, which we have also looked at. There is fairness in terms of gender sensitivity, which is a requirement in our Constitution. They have also adhered to all the required age brackets. From this perspective, the Committee has done a good job. I urge that we support the nomination and confirm them to sit in this very important tribunal. I support."

Indeed, as the Chairman has said, we must appreciate the crucial role of resolving disputes, particularly in special areas. This is one special area that is very interesting. It is an area we have had a lot of challenges in how to work together, harmonise and ensure transformation in our people. We appreciate that Article 1(3)(c) of the Constitution recognises that the Judiciary and independent tribunals are organs given the powers to deal with all claims and most of the challenges we face in matters of law. The most important thing is to thank those who applied. The team that is coming in must know that they are entering a very crucial area, one where we consistently face numerous challenges. These include challenges of even just understanding the international organisations that fall under this authority, which should be regulated. When you come into a country, you come in to enhance it and build trust. This is because you are also spending taxpayers’ money from the country you are coming from. You are also spending money coming from a taxpayer outside the country. The person or citizen in that country who was taxed for the money to come here and benefit another citizen would wish to see the transformation. As I finalise, I plead that we work together to achieve peace in our country, despite all the things happening now. Even with those organisations, look at your country and remember this is just your country. Work for it. I beg to support."

They are expected to be independent, voluntary, non-partisan, and non-profit making, and to work for the public good. Over the years, we have had issues with whether they adhere to the required values and principles. Kenya has had problems. We had chaos and civil societies being funded to cause chaos in this country. This country was nearly brought down during the Gen Z demonstrations. Public-private organisations have not been non-partisan as expected of them. This tribunal comes at a time when it is required to resolve disputes where things are not done correctly. Mostly, privileged persons lead them. They take their children to top-notch schools, yet they want Kenyans to suffer at times. Their purpose is mainly to get funds without regard to where to use the funds. Public-private organisations are the ones agitating for LGBTQ rights. We belong to a moral society. We are a country anchored on recognising God and religion. Our Constitution recognises the family as the natural and fundamental unit of society. It is the basic unit and source of social order. In as much as there is a lacuna in our laws that does not forbid queer behaviour, it is improper when civil society organisations try to propagate LBGTQ rights actively. You will see so many people supporting gays. This dispute tribunal has much work. This is the time they should at least engage and resolve disputes on funding, mandates, and disputes on so many other things done behind the country. We were about to lose our country. This tribunal should be up to the task of ensuring that we do not lose our stability. We safeguard our stability because we have enjoyed an island of peace for some time. You know we have Somalia on one side. We know what is happening in Sudan, South Sudan and other parts of East and Central Africa. I am concerned that we may lose our country if these civil society organisations are not audited and held accountable. This tribunal should be tough and thorough on public-private organisations. I support the nominees. Thank you."

Two, Parliament would recall that while the Public Benefit Organisations Act was enacted in 2013, it was only operationalised recently in 2024. If my memory serves me right, this will be the first tribunal under the Public Benefit Organisations Act. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the chairperson and the membership to set the record straight, as they are the trendsetters. I am very pleased with the persons nominated to be chairperson and members. As senior counsel Otiende Amollo has said, they are highly qualified and have a good gender mix.

With those remarks, I wish you well and request that Members approve these nominees this afternoon so that the sector can have a tribunal to hear and determine disputes that may arise from the Act and any appeals that may come from the sector. It is also important for us to remember that the objective of the Public Benefit Organisations Act is to create a self-regulating public benefits sector. For that, there is also the risk of non-disclosure because it is self-regulating. In addition, there is an overriding objective that initially and primarily non-governmental organisations also promote good governance and accountability. As you have seen, part of promoting good governance is ensuring that it is not being used for the proliferation of illicit financial flows that may be used to harm either the security or other aspects of our national economy. We urge those nominated to prioritise the country's interests when disputes arise. Let them know that even the organisations that fund our public benefits organisations do so because of their interest. They are not doing so because of our national interest at all times. Let them be careful such that public benefits organisations are not used to advance the interests of other nations to the detriment of our national interest. I support."

They are an important part of a democratic society. They offer charity in service delivery. They are often the ones who conduct the most public education on all matters of public interest. They lobby when we have new policies and laws. Many times, they are the first to draw attention to matters of public interest. Therefore, they are very important politically. To that extent, they are also controversial. They are often funded by foreign sources, which puts them in controversy, particularly when we want to pass laws or do things that are not supported by the public. The need for a Tribunal to support them is important because they face significant criticism and are often accused of various things. Sometimes, they do things that are against the public interest. This Tribunal is extremely important. According to the Committee’s report, the proposed members went through the correct vetting process. Each of them was found suitable in terms of education, professional qualifications and experience. I had an opportunity to interact with some of them, particularly the proposed Chairperson. She is a lady of great integrity and industry. I have seen how she leads public organisations. She will do a good job. With those remarks, I support the Motion."

This is a fairly simple Bill because we are seeking to maintain the County Assembly's financial autonomy by creating what the Bill is calling the County Assembly Fund. This Bill, as I have said, establishes the County Assembly Fund. It also defines the administration of the fund under Clause 5 and outlines what the fund will be able to support. Also, the monies that will be contained in the fund. It gives the Controller of Budget the power to check the account; the Bill refers to it as viewer rights to avoid corruption. What will happen is that for every County Assembly, they will create what we call the County Assembly Fund, and this fund will be maintained in the Central Bank of Kenya. The administrator of the fund shall be the County Assemblies Clerks, who can also designate another Member to be the accounting officer. Thirdly, no money in this account shall be withdrawn without the approval of the Controller of Budget. I think for a very long time, county assemblies have worked as appendices of the county governments and have no independence because the moment you rely on the person you oversight to give you money, you will not be doing your job properly because they will control you from behind through the financial disbursement. This Bill is a very progressive One, which will enable county assemblies to be more financially independent, allowing them to perform their duties effectively.

"content": " Sorry, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second the County Public Finance Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 39 of 2023) that seeks to give county assemblies autonomy and independence. I say it is a privilege because previously I was a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) of Nyamira. In my experience while at the County Assembly, there was a lot bargaining at the County Assemblies Forums for MCAs to have autonomy. Secondly, I know a majority of Members here and those of the public have witnessed what is going on in the County Assembly of Nyamira. Where the MCAs and the County Executive have been grounded for the last nine months, unable to even pay salaries for both the MCAs and the workers of the county assembly. This has been extremely frustrating for that particular county assembly. I have also seen many other county assemblies frustrated by their county executive because they lack autonomy. When you look at the particular provisions, they cover the whole spectrum of amending various acts that are very necessary to seal all loopholes in the Law. The Bill seeks to amend Sections 2, 31, 32, and 34 of the County Assembly Service Act, 2017, and, most importantly, introduces Sections 109(A) to (E) and 119 to the Public Finance Management Act. These are fundamental in the establishment and management of that particular Fund, prescribing how the Controller of Budget comes in to ensure the proper utilisation of funds. I will take a bit of time on the specifics of this particular amendment, which establishes the purpose of this Fund. Section 109(B) prescribes how this Fund will be utilised, Section 109(C) proposes how the monies will be retained within the Fund, and Section 119 focuses on the viewer's rights. So, the Controller of Budget shall have viewer rights into this particular Fund. Another important provision is Section 136, which outlines the recovery mechanism for unutilised funds. On this matter, I urge the Members of the County Assemblies and the Clerks of the County Assemblies, who will be the key administrators of this Fund, to ensure that we do not have situations where monies that have been appropriated are returned to the Exchequer. As I mentioned, this is something they have fought for for a very long time. This Bill has many advantages. One is to give county assemblies independence from the county, which will help them perform their Constitutional duty of oversighting the executives without feeling like they have to depend on them. Second is an increase in public participation. Currently, as it stands, Members of the County Assembly and the County Secretariats are unable to facilitate direct public participation because they rely on the executive. A case in point is when they administer the budget in county assemblies, they have to wait for the executive to allocate funds for public participation. Most of the time, they are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

This will be a landmark law not only for the county assemblies but also for the general public. We should remember that, in terms of political administration in this country, MCAs are at the lowest level, at the ward level. Enabling them to have funds that give them autonomy to serve members of the public at the county wards is not only about this House and the Senate passing a significant law; it is also about creating a legacy that will strengthen devolution beyond our tenure as Members of Parliament."

From the outset, I am passionate about this legislative proposal because it is one of the most progressive measures the 13th Parliament will have taken for this country. This legislative proposal breathes life into the objectives of our new constitutional order, which we bestowed upon ourselves in August 2010. One of the key objectives contained in our new Constitution is devolution. The second tier of government received Ksh415 billion this afternoon to cover its recurrent and development expenses. You will realise that, at the county level, many governors have been personalising governance by behaving like demigods. County assemblies, by the very creation of the Constitution, are required to provide checks, balances and oversight to ensure good governance, accountability and transparency in the management of funds appropriated by this House at that level. However, that objective has been fundamentally undermined in the execution of the mandate."

Therefore, corruption is partly to blame for the lack of financial independence of the county assemblies, which we are providing with funds this afternoon.

"content": "with retaliation. The usual reaction by the executive is to withhold funding meant for the county assemblies. Therefore, this afternoon, it behoves every Kenyan to support the legislative proposal before us so that county assemblies may attain financial independence. This financial independence will, in turn, lead to increased checks and balances and enhanced oversight. Some argue that county assemblies should not be granted financial independence because they are incapable of managing their finances effectively. I completely disagree with that line of reasoning. That school of thought seeks to micromanage institutions and defeat the spirit of devolution. The framers of our Constitution, in their wisdom, envisioned a governance structure that includes two distinct arms of government at the county level: the executive and the legislature. Just as it is at the national level, it is important that the county assembly, being the second arm of government at the county level, be granted financial autonomy. For that reason, I wish to thank the Senate. I also commend our own Committee, led by Hon. Kimani Kuria, and here in this House, ably represented by Amb. Lang’at and seconded by my sister from Nyamira. I urge that we process this Bill with speed so that as we enter the new financial year, beginning in September, and as the President assents to the Appropriation Bill, funds disbursed to counties will include direct allocations to county assemblies. Going forward, funds for county assemblies should no longer pass through the county executive. In the new financial year, county assemblies ought to receive their allocations directly from the National Treasury. The necessary checks and balances, as provided by the Controller of Budget and the Office of the Auditor-General, will apply to ensure accountability at that level. Members of County Assemblies must also note that to whom much is given, much is expected. As I conclude, I wish to emphasise that county assemblies have fought for this financial autonomy for over 12 years since the advent of devolution in 2013. Today, the mood in this House suggests that this autonomy shall be granted. As the responsibility is handed over to them, they must demonstrate their ability to manage these funds responsibly. The fight for autonomy should never be perceived as a mere attempt to access public funds for personal gain. It must be seen as a noble pursuit aimed at promoting good governance, enhancing devolution, and upholding the independence of county assemblies. The goal is to ensure that taxpayers’ money allocated to counties yields greater benefits for citizens at the grassroots level. For those reasons, I support."

As Members are aware, county assemblies have, for the past 12 years, fought relentlessly for their financial autonomy. During that period, many county assemblies have not exercised effective oversight over governors, as mandated by law. This failure has often been due to the stranglehold that governors have over assembly finances. In many instances, governors have treated funds allocated to county assemblies as though they were personal funds. As a result, Members of County Assemblies have been compelled to follow governors, either to access development funds for their wards or other forms of facilitation. Most MCAs have been reduced to mere subjects of their respective governors. If there is one Bill that brings me great satisfaction to debate today, and I hope that this House shall pass it as fast as possible, it is this one. Many people have been complaining that most counties are not doing their roads. If you go to any constituency right now, every Member of Parliament is constantly being asked to make roads because most governors are not doing their work. Unfortunately, the MCAs are unable to be accountable because they are afraid that the governor will not develop their areas.

For the last nine months, they have been unable to move forward because one speaker is in the county assembly while the other one is operating from a nearby hotel. I thank the Senate and Hon. Kimani Kuria for bringing this Bill. This Bill will change what we see in our county assemblies. I am impressed because this Bill states that money meant for the county assemblies must be disbursed by the 15th of every month. And in case they do not spend the funds, they will remain there. The Controller of Budget will also oversee how the county assemblies use these resources. Today, we passed the Mediated Version of the Division of Revenue Bill, and almost Ksh415 billion is going to the county governments. I can now clearly see that this money will be spent more prudently than before. We want to tell the county governments to ensure that the resources the National Assembly has bestowed upon them are used appropriately. They should ensure that the roads under the county government are made passable. They should ensure that Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 hospitals are equipped with the necessary medicine and facilities so that our people at home can receive the medical attention they need. Right now, many people want water in their homes. Water is a devolved function, but if you go to my constituency, you will not even see one borehole or a single last-mile water connection in any part in the two-and-a- half years I have been a Member of Parliament. Therefore, if there is one Bill that made me a happy man today, then it is this one. By the time I complete my five-year term, I will return home and say that this House passed a Bill that granted county assemblies the autonomy to run freely and smoothly. Thank you, Hon.

Our Constitution clearly states that the Senate exists to serve the interests of the counties. Even though we are discussing this Bill today, I believe it is long overdue. It should have been one of the Bills that the Senate processed as early as 2014. Why am I saying that? If you take the example of this House and the Executive, the reason we can carry out our programmes and activities with some success is that we control our resources as a Parliament. When you talk about financial autonomy for counties, particularly for county assemblies, you will realise that this debate and that of the Ward Development Fund has been with us for a long time. I now see a situation where we are likely to conclude one of these debates once this Bill passes. We will then remain with the law on the Ward Development Fund. I want to make a few observations. The truth is that if you are not financially independent, you are unlikely to be independent in terms of decision-making. If you are relying on the county executive to finance your activities and programmes, then you are not likely to have the freedom to stand your ground and say this is wrong. The fact that we are now seeing an attempt for the county assemblies to become financially independent is something that the House should support. It is good that we are talking about a county assembly account where the county assembly's money will be sent after we pass the budget. I see this playing out similarly to what happens in this House. The county assemblies will present their budgets to the Budget and Appropriation Committee in the county assembly, just as Parliament does to its Budget and Appropriation Committee. Once their budget is approved, those resources should be sent to their account to be utilised. Another interesting issue we have proposed is that the Controller of the Budget, just as she does with other funds drawn from the Consolidated Fund, be responsible for budget monitoring to ensure that resources are used for relevant activities and programmes.

The idea of involving the Controller of the Budget is to ensure that whatever money she approves is used for the intended purpose. This way, county assemblies will do their work as outlined in the Constitution. When the Chairman was moving this Bill, there was something he said, and I am not sure if it was a slip of the tongue or if that is what the Bill proposes. He said “that the money paid to the county assembly account, once the year ends, is rolled over”, just like we do with the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). That is an area we need to get right. Even in this Parliament, we do not get our budgets rolled over to the next financial year. Come 30th June, what has not been spent is expected to disappear from the box. That is aligned with doing zero-based budgeting. Once we adopt rolling over of budgets, we will kill the spirit of zero-based budgeting. That is an area that we need to think about when this Bill moves to Third Reading. We must ensure the money is spent annually. Our budgeting process is annual, with the other two years for purposes of budgeting. It should be that way. If the counties are unable to spend their money by 30th June of every year, they justify it in the next financial year, as all government institutions do. This will help avoid confusion regarding our financial management issue. There is not much to say about this. This is a very exciting moment. I wish it came 10 years ago. Today, our county assemblies would be independent. The corruption problem we are seeing with the county executive is largely because our county assemblies lack the authority to effectively say no to the county executive. With financial autonomy, they will be able to say no and conduct their activities independently. Since their roles are similar to ours —legislation, representation, and oversight —with the introduction of financial autonomy, they will carry out their roles effectively. I wish them all the best as they start the new journey of financial independence. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also add my voice to this very important piece of legislation. First and foremost, I thank those who proposed the idea of making the county assemblies independent. Since the introduction of devolution approximately 13 years ago, our country has sent significant funds, amounting to trillions, to the counties. Under the current regime, I have noted that the Government has disbursed over Ksh1.2 trillion to counties as devolved funding. This Bill comes at a crucial time, as we have just appropriated Ksh415 billion to these counties. One of the major weaknesses we have observed over the years is that the county assemblies, which are supposed to oversee and monitor these funds on behalf of the common mwananchi, have been limping. This is because they have been dependent on the County Executives for the facilitation required to perform their duties. Therefore, the proposal for a County Public Finance Law is commendable, as it will significantly enhance oversight of all devolved funds, just as in the national Government, where Parliament, the Judiciary and the Executive operate independently with their own budgets. Each arm can fulfil its responsibilities without hindrance due to lack of resources. On the other hand, in the county governments, our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have for a long time cried and asked to be empowered enough to oversee their counties. We all agree that huge sums of money have been devolved to the county governments, yet we did not give the MCAs enough teeth to bite. We did not give them enough power to oversee the county governments. In some counties, the county executives have been The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thus, this Bill comes at the right time. It will provide the necessary power, muscle, and capability to our assemblies to oversee the county governments effectively. Members of county assemblies have consistently sought autonomy. In Vihiga County, where I come from, our assembly comprises approximately 36 Members who have been advocating for independence and autonomy, enabling them to perform their duties without fear or favour, as they are properly protected. In my opinion, granting them independence is a great gain. I believe and pray that this will go a long way in ensuring that our funds at the county level are properly overseen. One thing I like about this Bill is that the county executives will not be doing this at their whims. They have been given specific deadlines within which these funds must be given to the assemblies, that is, by the 15th of every month."

When we got the Constitution in 2010, it gave us the opportunity to serve this country in a better way. It gave the country the freedom we desired and empowered women, people living with disabilities and other groups. This Bill seeks to empower our county assemblies. It will give the assemblies the financial independence they need. Without finances, nothing can be done. Even at the family level, if you have no money, you will not run your family well. Passing this Bill is the best gift we can give county assemblies as the 13th Parliament. For people aspiring to be CEOs of county governments, there will be a law for accountability, give hope to county assemblies and make MCAs own whatever they do. MCAs will have direct control over the operational budget and the freedom to conduct oversight. Any politician would want to be free in terms of their speeches, politicking, oversight and representation. MCAs lack this particular path. When this Bill is assented to, county assemblies will be empowered fully. Because there is not much bureaucracy and control, county assemblies will have access to and control over money for emergency needs. Some of us come from dry areas, which sometimes flood. When drought comes, we lose animals, or a disease outbreak occurs, and we need emergency funds. For the first time, county assemblies will have control over their budget.

Funds will be available for county assemblies to serve the people. Clause 5(a) of the Bill says: “Arrange for the County Assembly Fund to be kept in the Central Bank of Kenya in an account to be known as the County Assembly Fund Account.” We should all support this Bill because counties will now have funds in their accounts to run their projects and programmes, deliver better services, reach out to their people, and do the projects that they need to do. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. The faster the President assents to it, the better so that our counties can benefit from it."

The Bill will enable MCAs to perform their duties with minimal intimidation. I support that agenda. I am concerned that we might be creating emboldened clerks within the Bill. I propose that we get guidance on how we can address that because we might have a situation where the clerks run everything, and they might even undermine the work being done in the county assemblies due to corruption. When the crafters of the Constitution introduced devolution, they did not envision creating individual millionaires. We now have demagogue governors who undermine development."

I hope that we will deal with the issue of the clerks so that we can have very strong county governments and county assemblies. I also encourage the Senate to propose a Bill that blocks immediate former governors from running for a Senate seat because they use the Senate to protect themselves from prosecution after looting during their 10-year term. The Senate should protect us from these thugs who transition to Parliament because the National Assembly and the Senate have respectable Members. We do not wish to have thugs sitting in our House.

County Assemblies should also ensure that their buildings are managed properly, as they belong to the Kenyan people. They are supposed to help counties to grow for posterity. These funds shall defray administrative expenses and assist with the acquisition, proper maintenance, and upkeep of county assemblies' buildings, grounds, and other assets. This will keep counties in good shape for a long time. There is another good thing about this Fund, according to the Constitution. The County Assembly Fund shall retain accruals and balances of county assemblies at the end of each financial year. They shall be applied in accordance with the Constitution. Section 109E is very interesting. It says county treasuries shall disburse monies to the County Assembly Fund at the beginning of every month and in any event not later than the 15th day from the commencement of the month. That will be for the expenditure of the following month. This will ensure proper utilisation and management in counties. You will realise that most of the counties are unable to pay their bills. This Fund will give them very good service. The Clerk of a County Assembly will be the administrator of the Fund. They will now be able to manage the institution. The institutions are already in place. To maintain and make them useful for posterity, we must give them an opportunity to serve through this Bill. Thank you.

As we implement it, we learn and see what the country needs to do progressively. The Senate and our county assemblies have seen this as one of the challenges. I know many Members here whose MCAs have reached out to me saying that when this Bill comes to the Floor of the House, we should support it. This is because they have noted that there is a big challenge when they have no autonomy over their finances and how they run and manage the resources that come to the county assemblies. It is quite demoralising when it is the Executive which allocates money. It is as if the assemblies are the qualms of the counties, so they have to wait for the Executive to determine how much money they will be given. It is as if they are begging for that money. However, as you rightly said, it will mirror what we have in Parliament, the Judiciary, and the Executive. We have also seen another challenge in our counties, where MCAs have to run around looking for the Ward Development Fund (WDF). And if you do not support that governor, you will not be given the WDF. It is akin to tokenism for the MCAs and what they are supposed to do. Most importantly, once they have their own resources, it will enable them to do their work more effectively. Just as we are facilitated here to execute our mandate in Parliament, when our county assemblies are well-resourced, their motivation and working methods will improve. That is what we expect to see from them once the Bill is passed and assented to. It is also coming in at the right time, when we are doing the budget process, and we just passed the Division of Revenue Bill. I therefore hope it can be expedited and assented to so that it can start working. With those very many remarks, I support."

Now, in the spirit of good governance, there is a principle we call participation. Our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) are involved in public participation during the budget process. The MCAs want to be responsive to their wards. However, their operations are curtailed because their salaries, petty cash, and benefits are administered through the Executive. By the nature of this Executive's governance today, they have used that lapse in law to control and manage the county assemblies. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is very bad in the spirit of this era where we are exercising good governance. You cannot be a good Governor if you do not give the freedom to those people who are supposed to be overseeing you. I would like to provide a clear example from our county, Meru. For almost two years, there has been no oversight, monitoring, or evaluation of what is happening. There is drama everywhere.

Once the Governor is in control of finances, the other matters are left now at the mercy of that Governor. It is high time that we support the MCAs in being autonomous in their operations so that they can effectively execute their representation and oversight for the benefit of the people they represent in every ward. If we need to cite an example of poor governance, we can conduct a case study of Meru County from 2022 to 2024. Then if you want to do a good study of good governance, we can start from last year up to now, where good governance and bad governance are very visible. For the first time, I would like to thank the Senate. It has taken them a considerable amount of time to act, yet these are the things they are supposed to be doing. What they have been doing, including trying to oversee the National Assembly, is wrong. I thank our Judiciary for setting a clear record. If the Senators are serious, they will now go back to work with the county assemblies to oversee the county executives. The dangling of carrots by county executives to MCAs will come to an end due to this Bill. There should be cooperation among those with oversight roles, including members of the National Assembly and MCAs. The MCAs will now have the freedom to serve our people without being controlled by the executive. With those few remarks, I support this amendment. Once again, I congratulate the Senate for the first time since I came to this House. This is the best thing they have done. Whatever they were doing in the past was entering into other guy’s territories and coming out naked. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

The two arms of government at the county level need to work independently, just as we work with the National Executive. The county assemblies and county executives should be financially independent. By giving them authority and resources, we empower county assemblies to oversee their executives effectively. As we give MCAs these funds and autonomy, they should now start overseeing the county governments and county executives properly. They have now been given the funds to do so, but they must be accountable for them. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."

This Committee needed to continuously work because, with devolution, we devolved without first setting up the structures. I recall the debate before devolution, just after the Constitution had been passed, was that there was a need to establish some structures for the counties so that as they came into being, they would have rudimentary structures with which to start operations. We did not do that. We only considered the loss, and the Transition Authority did not examine the administrative element. That is what has brought us here. We now talk very much about runaway corruption in the counties. What do you expect to happen when you give out a lot of money without financial structures to support it? Unless you are an angel, you will use that money the way you want. I am happy that we are beginning to see that these are major structural gaps. Apart from the financial issue, the human resource issue also needs to be addressed. Let me talk about the issue of health that I am conversant with. Again, what we are dealing with is a lack of structures to deal with human resources. We had the Public Service Commission (PSC). We then established the County Public Service Board (CPSB), but there is no direct link between them. There are workers, for example, in the health sector, who recognise themselves as the same cadres wherever they are. However, there is no uniform way of handling it from county to county. Again, that is a major gap in the human resource management. I think the procurement sector is also suffering the same way. Therefore, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this because, for once, we are taking a serious look at the financial structures that are needed in the counties. This Bill brings in what we needed to have done immediately after we had the Constitution in place or even before we had it. In fact, it was suggested, but enthusiastic people shot it down. Maybe they saw ahead and gave themselves room to use this money. We are now putting it in the Bill. This Bill is good because it gives autonomy to the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), which is the most glaring issue, although it is looking at all the other areas. Look at the issues of the autonomy of the assemblies. How can you oversee a person who is financing you? Structurally, it is not workable. That structure will just incapacitate you.

It is like asking a goat and a hyena to be friends, expecting them to understand that they need to work together. It cannot work like that. When we give them this autonomy, they can manage their finances by themselves. Similarly, they may not understand the constraints of the governor. However, now that they have the money allocated to them, which they are handling, they will behave differently. The issue of holding governors at ransom, and on the other hand they are denying you what you need to do so that you become weak and more obedient, is a thing of the past. Many of the attempts to impeach governors may arise from this dispute: “You are denying us this, tutakutoatu” . That is what has been going on. Now that we have put that in place, I think we will also need to provide training and establish structures for them after implementation. Therefore, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Bill. However, we not only need to look at the financial structures but also go ahead and look at the human resource management and procurement structures. Remember, we were recently looking at how they can access funds from grants and donors. I support. It is a big move; it has shown us the way, and we expect more to come from the Senate."

County assemblies should be granted autonomy to make decisions independently without relying excessively on the county executive. When county assemblies lack autonomy, they are unable to exercise effective oversight over the county government. This has led to numerous challenges across the country. For example, MCAs are taken on small trips. Such gestures are presented as sufficient, while essential functions, such as ward development funds, which are traditionally used for localised projects, have either been removed or withheld at the whim of governors without any consultation or reference to the county assemblies. If county assemblies have autonomy, such practices will no longer be possible. With that, I support."

"content": "the first time since I entered this House that I have seen the Senate act in accordance with that mandate. Previously, there have been concerns that the Senate was duplicating the work of the National Assembly by attempting to exercise oversight over institutions outside its purview. Today, we can see that the Senate is finally acting appropriately and at the right time. Since 2013, when the county governments were operationalised, county assemblies have been subjected to manipulation and mistreatment by the county executives. With this Bill, which grants county assemblies financial independence, they will now conduct their functions, especially oversight, without interference or manipulation from the executive. This move can be extended further. Once county assemblies attain financial independence, the Senate could consider drafting additional legislation to ensure that development funds are also allocated under a separate model. One that is distinct from the current framework. At present, the county executive determines which areas receive development and which do not. This creates bias and undermines equitable development. Once county assemblies are independent, it will be necessary to establish a model where the development agenda is not dictated solely by the county executives. They will still be independent on the county executive. If you differ with the governor, your ward may not get any development. And that determines whether you are re-elected or not. This Bill will make county assemblies more independent. Article 95 of the Constitution defines the roles of the Senate, but it has been engaging in matters that do not belong to them. They have been wasting taxpayers’ money for no reason. This is the first Bill they have come up with that actually relates to their work. If the public were given the chance, through a referendum, they would abolish the Senate. They have been doing what they should not be doing. It is now that they have realised their role. And we congratulate them for that. I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Kenya Institute of Primate Research Bill (National Assembly Bill No.52 of 2024), be now read a Second Time. Let me begin by thanking the Members of the Departmental Committee on Health, which I chair, for their support in the preparation and tabling of the Committee Report on the Bill in this House. The Kenya Institute of Climate Primate Bill (National Assembly Bill No.52 of 2024) by the Departmental Committee on Health was published on 26th November 2024. The Bill was read for a First Time in this House on Thursday, 5th December 2024, and thereafter committed to the Departmental Committee on Health for consideration and reporting to the House, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 127. The principal object of this Bill is to make provision for the establishment, powers and functions of the Institute of Primate Research. This Institute conducts research using non- human primates and other experimental animals to improve human health through innovative pre-clinical research. Basically, this is an institution that exists, and it has been doing research using primates and other animals, particularly the basic research that we normally do in the development of medicines and vaccines when they still cannot be actually applied to human beings. This Bill, therefore, seeks to establish this in law and give it the powers and proper functions according to the law. Currently, this is operating under Legal Notice No. 273 of 2017 of the Science and Technology Innovation Act. This Bill intends to now establish a full Act on which it will operate so that it becomes a legal entity on its own. This is important because, since 1958, when this Institute was established, it has been operating under a Legal Notice rather than under a law. This Institute is extremely important for the primary research on vaccines and medicine. Therefore, we now need to establish it under its own Act of Parliament."
