• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move: THAT, the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2024), be now read a Second Time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an extremely important Bill. One of the cardinal responsibilities of this House of Parliament is to participate very strongly in the division of revenue raised nationally, between the county and the national Government. Over the years, the role of the Senate in this particular exercise has been affirmed to many doubting foes and friends alike by courts of law and the established practices around the globe on the ... view
• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: The Division of Revenue Bill, in accordance to Article 203 of the Constitution, demands that we have at least 15 per cent of the most recently audited accounts approved by the National Assembly. There has been conversations around how to increase this, the latest one being in the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) exercise that yours truly participated in, which raised this to 20 per cent. That Bill is still before our Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee. I do not see the Chairperson of that Committee. They would have updated us how far they are with that clause. The ... view
• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: (2) An adjustment of repurposing the scrapped Managed Equipment Scheme (MES) programme allocation, which amounted to about Kshs5.86 billion. These adjustments take into account the non-discretionary financial obligations resulting out of- (1) Housing levy. (2) Increased contribution to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). (3) Contribution to the Social Health Insurance Fund's wage drift. (4) The need for counties to provide matching allocation for the County Aggregation Industrial Parks (CAIPs). Remember, there has been commitments by the community health promoters’ programme, where the county and national Government meet their stipend on a 50-50 basis. Therefore, there is need to first ... view
• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: need to first contain or pay statutory deductions that arise out of laws that we have passed in this House together with agreements that county governments have entered into partnership with the national Government. There is no harm about counties agreeing with the national Government to have the Kenya Youth Professionals (KYP). This is a good and well thought-out programme which I expect each county government to think through and establish what their own people can produce in order to accelerate access to markets for farmers in that region. The matching condition allocations of county governments on their aggregation industrial ... view
• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to move and request the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Budget and Finance, the Senator from Mandera, Senator, Captain, Dr. Ali Roba, His Excellency, to second this Bill. I thank you. view
• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a grave matter. The fact that the Cabinet Secretary called you is not sufficient. She might have called you on matters to do with Kilifi County, but not with the Senate. She has not been invited here to come and meet the Speaker. Much as you extended the courtesy of receiving her call, she needs to know that this House is terribly disappointed with her conduct. Hon. Aisha Jumwa, a long serving parliamentarian, who has been here for over 10 years, knows very well that if there is a conflict of diaries between the Executive ... view
