It is the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2025). The Mover had not replied. I actually moved the Bill. I wish to reply in 30 seconds, then we vote together with all the six.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know why the Senate Majority Whip is animated this afternoon and why he wants to announce to the students that I have not been around for a while but it is only last week and I have been coming in the evenings after class at five o'clock. So, I want to join you in welcoming these pupils and teachers from Golden Plains Academy, Kitengela, Kajiado County. There are eight teachers and 41 pupils who are in the Senate for a one-day academic exposition. It is always an interesting time when students get an opportunity ...

What the Senate Minority Whip was doing, just to inform them of the procedure that we are going through, was moving a Motion. A committee is the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget where he sits, sat down, considered the report of Kenya's debt situation from the Treasury and now they are sending a report back to the House. What he is doing is called moving a report after which it will be seconded and opened for debate after which Members will vote. So that is one of the many things that we do in this particular House. I wish ...

I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is an important Report that comes from the Committee on Finance and Budget. It is a pity that it is being moved late in the evening when most Members are out. However, I hope that each Senator gets an opportunity to speak on this particular issue, because it is a very fundamental issue.

Personally, I have been very consistent on my call for a better management of our debt situation as a country. From the days last Parliament, when we raised first, the nominal figure, I think from six to 10 per cent, I opposed that move, for reasons that I will speak in to, and why I feel the Finance and Budget Committee, though they have done good work, can do better on this particular issue. It is not just a ticking of the box when the National Treasury lays before the House the debt management strategy that they want to bring ...

In fact, many people sometimes discuss about this administration and what has been its biggest achievement. While there is debate about the stellar reforms that have been initiated in the agriculture sector, today, you go to public gatherings with coffee farmers or wheat farmers, they appreciate the interventions that have been made that continue to show positive results. However, a keen student of economics management will point out to the fact that avoiding to default and how we have succeeded in the last two years to pay our debts in time still ranks extremely high as the biggest achievement of ...
