• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: this year’s Division of Revenue Bill, has decided to intervene in certain key sectors. The total conditional transfer given to county governments is Kshs21.89 billion. If you add it to Kshs280 billion given on the equitable share, then the total amount going to county governments will be about Kshs302 billion. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: What are those grant interventions? One of them is Kshs4.5 billion to cater for the leasing of medical equipment and facilitate the purchasing of modern specialized equipment. When you walk to some hospitals which have received those machines, for example Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital and Machakos Level 5 Hospital and many others, at least, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) machines and specialized equipments are there. I am sure the Committee on Health will agree with me that Kshs4.5 billion was allocated. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Another Kshs4.1 billion was allocated to the free maternal healthcare. That is the biggest achievement of this Government. Never again will our women or mothers deliver outside a health centre. I come from a pastoral community. When President Uhuru Kenyatta took over the Government in 2013, 46 per cent of Kenyan mothers were delivering in health centres. Today, I can say without any fear of contradiction that 67 per cent of Kenyan mothers deliver in clean health facilities free of charge. In the pastoral communities, our mothers used to deliver under trees. That is because the roads are very bad. ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: An amount of Kshs4 billion has been put as grant for Level 5 hospitals. My constituency has a Level 5 Hospital. We are talking about Embu, Kisumu, Kakamega, Mombasa and Nakuru, among others. The national Government has done a deliberate intervention to Level 5 hospitals, giving them specialized health services so that they can create equity in access to healthcare. I am sure there are many other items in the Schedule of the Bill which have been given to country governments as conditional grants. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: This is a very important Bill. We brought it because it will go to the Senate. I am sure the Budget and Appropriations Committee knows the controversy between the two Houses on the Division of Revenue Bill. We have missed the deadline as provided for in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012. Therefore, I urge this House to fast-track the approval of this Bill, in order to allow for adequate time for the finalization of the budget estimates for the national and county governments. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Article 218(1) of the Constitution provides that for, at least, two months before the end of each financial year, there shall be introduced in Parliament a Division of Revenue Bill, which shall divide revenue between the two levels of Government. Article 218(2) of the Constitution further provides that the Division of Revenue Bill shall be accompanied by a memorandum, setting out the explanation of revenue as proposed by the Bill. The memorandum bit of this Bill was missed out in the 2013/2014 Financial Year. It explains so that one can understand. It is the only Bill the Constitution allows a ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Clauses 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Bill basically deal with the preliminaries, the short title, definition of words and expressions. If you go to Clause 4 of the Bill, it provides for the division raised between the two levels of government in respect of the Financial Year 2016/2017. Clause 5 of the Bill provides for the mechanism of adjusting in terms of valuations the revenue raised by the national Government. Clause 6 of the Bill provides for dispute and resolution mechanism The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: should they apply prior to instituting court proceedings. If this Bill is not passed, then it means that county governments will not get money and someone can go to court. Clause 6 deals with that organ. It includes the provision for personal liability on public officers who cause any state organ to incur costs and referring them to disputes. In this Bill, there are schedules. The First Schedule provides for equitable share of revenue raised nationally between the two levels of government. In conclusion, we are a House that has the powers under the Constitution in the budget-making process. We ... view

• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The matter before us is about Standing Orders. Unless we amend Standing Order No.176, it is very sad. We have a senior Member of FORD (K) in the House; the Deputy Minority Whip, none other than Hon. Chris Wamalwa, a senior ranking Member of that party. This Standing Order says - I want to read it for everybody – “The parliamentary party that nominated a member to a select committee may give notice, in writing, to the Speaker that the member is to be discharged from a select committee.” This matter is as clear as the ... view
