• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, experience of a number of years has indicated that it is important for the Senate to deal with the matter - the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill. They should deal with it and bring it back to the House. If that amendment was given to the Senate, we would have solved this problem. In the case of a stalemate, the counties can access 50 per cent of their resources. So, the Senate should have gone ahead and completed that Bill as they were dealing with the formula. They ought to have gone ahead with that Bill so that we ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: it, why should I give you another Kshs10? If I open for you a kiosk and down the line you close it… I want to give figures. Reports from the Controller of Budget have indicated various challenges among them the fact that counties are spending huge sums of money on personal emoluments. The reports are very clear. The figure is with the Controller of Budget. There is a lot of under-performance in own-source revenue collection. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Who said that counties should only depend on money from the division of revenue? They must collect money. They have got functions. If you look at between 2019 and 2020, you will realise that only 48.5 per cent of the annual target was received from own-source revenue. There is low spending on development budget across all counties. In fact, the Controller of Budget is saying they have only spent 25 percent of the annual budget of 2019 /2020 on development. Devolution was not meant for salaries and buying cars. It was meant to improve the health sector and infrastructure. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please, add me just two minutes! This is serious. Members should know that this is a talk show. There is nothing we can do to amend it. We must… view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Allow me. It is important. As we speak, the Deputy Governor of West Pokot has been drawing salary while working abroad. The Senate should focus on such issues. The elephant in the room is this: Kenya is defined by two things: land and population. People say they want to define Kenya by population. How would you live without land? So, there is no way you can delink land and population. In fact, the definition of a country is land and population. So, we must balance the two. This House needs to have a spatial distribution of the billions of money ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: We cannot just be discussing what goes to the counties. Why can we not discuss what remains here? So, we must be told how it has been distributed. I have a table here from the previous Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. You will be shocked that while Nairobi got many projects, Samburu got only one. For example, Nairobi got 186 road projects. Samburu County got two projects and in fact, Taita got 12 projects. So, as we go this way, let us be very honest. It is the same way we have a formula for the Kshs316 billion ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is just because today we are around the area of people who have not complied. Yet, they are accusing Parliament of not complying. Article 204 of the Constitution is the one that establishes the Equalisation Fund and is very specific. It states that: “(1) There is established an Equalisation Fund into which shall be paid one half per cent of all the revenue collected by the national government each year calculated on the basis of the most recent audited accounts of revenue received, as approved by the National Assembly.” This is to particular marginalised areas in terms ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I also want to confirm after your statement of the PSC that there is no danger. Together with Hon. Keynan, Hon. Mbadi, Hon. Kioni and others, we were also in the 10th Parliament. I would like to take the country down the memory lane. In the 10th Parliament, this matter was brought to the Floor of the House by the then Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Martha Karua. It was rejected. We were only 212. Later on, in the 10th Parliament, the late Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Mutula The electronic version of the ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Kilonzo brought it to this House, it was also rejected. As the former Leader of the Majority Party, I tried twice in the 11th Parliament. Parliaments world over, any jurisdiction at the end of every question, the Question would be put to Members, it will be either the “Nays” or the “Ayes” to have it. I look at the House of Congress, our counterparts in the presidential system. If you look at the House of the Representatives, the Congress in the US today they are at 23.7 per cent in gender representation. Before that, they were stuck at 19.1 per ... view
