• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: also form good representation into this committee. Be that as it may, this is a thought in the right direction and I support this particular Bill. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Amongst other things, this is one of our highlights as the Senate, will be so proud of after leaving Kitui County today. This is the impact that the visit of the Committee will have created. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: First, the impression of the prisoners to remember that in the eyes of many, they may feel condemned, but there are people who still look at them as human beings worthy of some rights. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, the issue that has been raised by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., it will perhaps be better when you are issuing your final directions on this matter, to give an indication to the people of Kitui County who are listening to this debate, as to when the Committee that you will charge with the responsibility of following up this matter will come back with an answer to assure them that first this public land will be reverted to the use for which it was intended, and this land grabber will face the law. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a topical issue raised by our colleague, Sen. Khaniri. There are three quick things that I would wish to say. First, the people to squarely blame on this particular debacle is the National Treasury because our Committee on Finance and Budget had developed an Own Source Revenue Bill that would have guided counties on how to sort out this particular mess.

The amount of money that counties can collect from land taxes is enough to fund the operations of many of our county governments. What Sen. (Dr.) Langat shared with those of us who come from tea growing areas is that---.

• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to school my neighbour later on Standing Orders after I am done with my presentation. view

I was saying that Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Kitui who are here should also check when the land roll of Kitui County was last updated so as to ensure that people are paying the proper value for the land they occupy in the urban centres of this particular county. Lastly, scientifically, we have been told that human beings respond to either the carrot or the stick. That should be corrected to state that we Africans respond to both the carrot ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: collect, we should have a percentage to go to county assemblies to fund operations. I will move an amendment to the PFM Act. I thank you. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, we are waiting for the Bill to come from the National Assembly. Right now, there is no Bill before our Committee or even a legislative proposal. view
