15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, protect me from the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. He has already become the spokesperson of the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Why should we give him 10 or one minute? The House starts 2.30 p.m. and if you have an agenda in the Order Paper, you must The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

be here. That is why everybody is here. You need to rule whether we will indulge the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, or bring the same Procedural Motion tomorrow. The Finance Bill has a constitutional timeline. It must be passed by this House within 90 days after the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury reads the Budget. So, we expected the Procedural Motion to reduce the publication period sent to the Committee. The Finance Bill is very crucial. It is about raising revenue and taxation measures. As the leader of the House, you need to ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to support this Bill. Hon. Wamalwa is a fast learner. I am sure he has used the tradition of the House where every Member will at least explain to the House. Nevertheless, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill allocates resources among county governments. It comes after the Division of Revenue Bill which sets the stage for the publication of this Bill. The Division of Revenue Bill sets and divides the national cake between the two levels of Government. Once that is done, County Allocation of Revenue Bill is published by the Senate. It is ...

Bill because the people of Kenya must know as they watch the National Assembly and the Senate proceedings on the allocations the various counties are receiving. Before I go to the Schedule, if you look at Clause 4 of this Bill, it says that each county government’s equitable share of revenue raised nationally on the basis of the revenue sharing formula approved by Parliament is in accordance with Article 217 of the Constitution. When the Division of Revenue Bill says that more than Kshs300 billion will go to county governments, what the Senate will do in consultation with the National ...

Levy for the repair and maintenance of county roads as set out under column (g) of the Second Schedule. Basically, those are the highlights. The other Schedule gives the amount given to each county. If I pick Garissa County, it is receiving Kshs5.7 billion. The county with the highest allocation is Nairobi which will receive Kshs12 billion; Nakuru County - Kshs8 billion and Turkana County - Kshs10.5 billion. I am sure that in the last subsequent financial years, Turkana County must have received close to Kshs50 billion. The moral question that this country must ask is: Has the Kshs50 billion ...

The Member for North Horr, you need to relax. When the Leader of the Majority Party is speaking, you must listen. This is why Hon. Chachu left Jubilee; it is because of indiscipline. In Jubilee, we have a high level of discipline.

Hon. Speaker, Parliament will not act in vain. I am fasting and the Member for North Horr should respect the holy month of Ramadhan. I know that his twin brother is a serious Muslim. So if you do not respect me, you better respect your twin brother and the holy month of Ramadhan.

15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, the Jubilee Coalition has over 20 governors. I want to give him a chance to name all the 20 counties of the Jubilee Coalition. I was with Hon. Chachu in ODM before we left. All of a sudden, he decided that he forgot something and went back. I told him that this time round he has to come back. He has no choice because that place is very dry. There is no pasture or water. As a pastoralist, we do not go where there is no pasture and water. I have told him that pasture and water, and ...

In conclusion Hon. Speaker, I was saying that Parliament will not act in vain. It has been given the role of doing the Budget. This is a function of Parliament. Under the new Constitution, we can appropriate billions of shillings to the people of Kenya in the 47 counties, including Turkana, Kwale, Lamu and Busia. Our county assemblies, the Senate, the National Assembly and the Auditor-General must guard every cent that goes to our counties and the national Government.
