• 20 May 2025 in Senate: and The Standard newspapers suggesting that there is a political 'fight back' from the President against his critics. Perhaps, the editors of Daily Nation and The Standard newspapers should provide a list of the citizens who, in their view, are above the law. That if you become the President critic, you can do anything with no recourse in laws. The reality is that a criminal is a criminal. If anyone is found to have violated the law, it should not matter which side of the political divide they support. I had assumed that this principle was fundamental, a basic tenet ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Anyway, returning to the discussion on Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.10 of 2025), Clause 4 stipulates that revenue raised nationally for the financial year 2025/2026 shall be shared equitably between the national and county governments, in accordance with the Schedule of the Bill. Clause 5(1) provides that if the actual revenue raised nationally falls short of the expected revenue set out in Schedule, the shortfall shall be borne by the national Government. If you listened to me earlier, I had proposed only 15 or 20 per cent. Subsequently, if you have a significant shortfall because in the ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: government. My argument is that at a 4.5 per cent fiscal deficit, then Kshs430billion is possible. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, should it be reduced downwards, then we can have a conversation about the figures that I hear being mentioned by our colleagues in the National Assembly because it means there is limited fiscal space. We cannot have a situation where we are allowing the National Treasury to borrow colossal amounts of money while sending to counties very few resources. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall and I wish Sen. M. Kajwang, the Chair of the County Public Accounts Committee ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: commerce has no feeling. It has sense only. You either do the right thing or you fail. It does not matter the intention or how emotional you are about it. If at the end of the day you are not managing your resources prudently as a county government, the results will show very quickly. I want to request our colleagues to reflect deeply on this particular matter as we think about division of revenue and the things that we need to do. The final part of this is that, the Sixth Schedule allocates a total of Kshs2.835 trillion as follows ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether it is for lack of adequate information that Sen. Omogeni is pursuing a certain point, stating that SHA does not pay for citizens when they go to private hospitals. That is not accurate, Sen. Omogeni. Private hospitals, just like public hospitals as well need to enlist. If you check on the website of SHA, there is a list of public institutions and private institutions that have so far enlisted. When you go there and present your card, it will certainly be accepted, subject to all these other conditions that you know of ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Just like you, you have an insurance card, this one of Parliament, you cannot go to any facility. We normally pre-authorize with certain institutions, especially for specialists. I thought maybe, Sen. Omogeni, to help your county residents have an engagement as their representative with them to know the private institutions in Nyamira County that have already enlisted where citizens can go and get these services. view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: If you struggle with that, I am willing to assist you so that you get that list. I think that information that is publicly available. I thought probably if for one reason or the other Sen. Omogeni did not have that information, it would be important to know because it is not true that SHA is not accepted in private institutions. view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Sen Omogeni, I am sure you have seen something called Rural Private Hospitals Association (RUPA) which used to have a tiff with SHA towards the end of last year. They were saying they needed to have their bills owed previously cleared. That noise has since gone down. view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, I thought I had trained very many assistants, but nonetheless--- There were many others besides Sen. Methu. view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a question with regards to the financial inclusion product otherwise known as a Hustler Fund, which the Cabinet Secretary responded to in the first part of the question. For the record, to the best of my knowledge, the President never promised a grant. The people--- view
