• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a matter of procedure under Standing Orders No.111(2). I rise on limitation of debate. This is a very important Bill, which I believe many colleagues will want to speak to. We can agree on 10 or five minutes--- view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Hon. Members are saying five minutes. Let us do seven minutes so that we balance between those who are saying 10 and five minutes. If we can do seven minutes each then, they can explain themselves. view

• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: They will get the full pleasure of seeing their Senators debate. The Motion that is present on the Floor is a Bill known as the Equalization Fund prepared under Article 204(1) of the Constitution where 1.5 per cent of the nationally raised revenue is sent to counties that are most deserving based on basic services such as water, roads and health centres.

While it may be possible in certain counties, by view of the county headquarters and the figures that they generate, you may think that development is equally spread out. Yes, there are counties that are blessed and endowed with resources. However, within the same county, you will find areas that are terribly marginalised. Madam Temporary Speaker, the genius of that second policy is what has informed us this afternoon to debate this Bill and look into the 34 counties. You can see ... view
