• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.9 of 2023) was published on 20th March, 2023 and passed by the National Assembly on the same day. As you have just highlighted a few minutes ago, this Bill has got statutory timelines and, therefore, their Standing Orders that are very similar to ours allow for the Bill to commence and be concluded upon within such a short time. Therefore, they began the Bill on 20th March, 2023 and concluded it on the same day, given the urgency of this matter. Thereafter, this Bill was referred to us ... view

• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me mention this, not that it is something worth causing an alarm. If you listen to many experts on national security, they will tell you that in as much as Kenya continues to pride itself as a super power, other militaries across East Africa have actually eventually caught up with us; that while they used to come and train here in the 1980’s, 1990’s and early 2000’s, almost all our neighbours have overtaken us. If you look at, be it the war planes that we demonstrate with so much gusto and pride during our national holidays, ... view

• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: High levels of debt financing as well as elevated debt risk continues to be a discussion that has populated media space and a conversation around our political space in the last few days. Due to the limited access to finance in the domestic and international financial markets, financing constraints continues to bite. As a result, the National Treasury did not disburse Kshs29.6 billion to county governments in the Financial Year 2021/2022. I hope when I was talking about that, the Senate Minority Leader and his Deputy, Sen. Wambua, were here to appreciate what I was saying earlier. I said that ... view

• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: beginning to teach Kenyans to live within our means and know that there is no other source other than being fiscally responsible. That is part of what is being proposed. The proposed equitable share of Kshs385.425 billion in the Financial Year 2023/2024 is equivalent to 23.03 per cent of the last audited accounts, which is Kshs1.6 trillion for the Financial Year 2019/2020 as approved by Parliament. The proposed allocation meets the requirement of Article 203(2). I had explained this earlier. The county governments’ equitable share of revenue raised nationally for the Financial Year 2023/2024 is arrived by growing the county ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thanks to the Bill that we passed in this House. There is now a structured way on how our county governments receive conditional grants. Before we raised the alarm at the Committee on Finance and Budget, mandarins would sit at the National Treasury and, for example, give Kshs5 million to Kisumu County Government for a certain programme and certain amounts to Lamu or Kericho county government. You would see a pattern of discrepancies and continued marginalization of certain parts of the country. That was taking away the role of Parliament. Had the Committee on Finance and Budget not stood firm ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: The importance of this Bill cannot be overstated. I, therefore, urge hon. Senators not to sit in the House and fail to make their stamp, either in agreement or concrete proposals on the division of revenue. We are aware of the challenges that counties face. This is the time to reflect and think about that. view
