• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: I must acknowledge the challenge we have for non-appearance of a number of Cabinet Secretaries. I pointed out yesterday that the House was terribly disappointed by the two Cabinet Secretaries for Health and Foreign and Diaspora Affairs for their late request for permission not to appear before the Senate. We commended the Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Labour and Social Protection; hon. Florence Bore for filing in proper time, her inability to appear before the House. We did not have a problem with her. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that confirms that as a House we are not malicious. We are just saying that they need to be diligent, file their response to this House and take its work seriously. I hope that the Secretariat organized a letter to them in equal wording to the fury that was expressed by colleague Senators here. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: The Senate Business Committee (SBC) on the other hand will deliberate on this matter in the next meeting and determine a way forward with these Cabinet Secretaries. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Finally, on 7th July, 2023, the Senate received the proposed County Government Equitable Share Disbursement Schedule from the National Treasury for the Financial Year 2023/2024. This document was referred to the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for consideration.

• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is a very important exercise. I will also mention that today, the President made an announcement to the entire country. I wish my good friend Sen. Oketch Gicheru to hear this. We told them that we were proposing Kshs385 billion because we felt the need to be truthful and sincere to ourselves in order for us to move from how things were done in the past where astronomical figures were set and were not able to be managed prudently. For the very first time, since devolution happened in this country, county governments have received their Equitable ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Sen. Ali Roba who has been a governor for 10 years knows that, for a fact. Many times, county governments have to wait until September. However, to show our commitment to devolution and that we want our counties to be better managed, by this afternoon, all 47 county governments have received their Equitable Share for the month of July. We have been in this House for long and that has never happened. That is how to prudently show commitment to devolution. I wish that the governors will be prudent in the management of those resources. I am happy that we ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Sen. Oketch Gicheru, you will be able to ask our good friend, Gov. Ochillo- Ayacko, to give an account of the resources we devolved to Migori County in the last financial year. We shall take good time to study his use of resources and whether they have been prudent; how much money went to development and recurrent expenditures. Did it benefit the people that you represent in this House? That audit report shall be in this House by next month or early September at the very least. I hope Members can take time to read and put governors to task ... view
