• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Article 116(2), hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am doing this because in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and many sectors within the national and county governments, some people have not even earned salaries and this Supplementary Appropriation Bill is very critical. So, if we do not do this amendment, then, they have to wait for 21 days from the publication period as Article 116(2) says. So, what I am trying to achieve by proposing this amendment is that once Parliament passes this Bill and the President assents to it this afternoon or tomorrow morning, then the resources will be available ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move that the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the Supplementary Appropriations Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 23 of 2015 and its approval thereof with amendment. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. We are holding this Special Session, among other issues, to deal with the report of the mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill as provided for by Article 113 and Standing Order No.149. On the outset, the framers of the Constitution did not anticipate what would happen when a mediation process collapsed, or when the two Houses disagree. I am sure that is very good food for thought for Members both House of Parliament; even the Supreme Court in its advisory opinion, which I personally disagree with--- I agree with the dissenting opinion of the ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: It is the wish of the people of Kenya. Again, both levels of government; namely the national Government and the country governments, and all the money that we appropriate to them, are monies that go to the people of Kenya. The national Government resources go to the people of Kenya and the money that we give to the county governments goes to the people of Kenya. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I want to urge my colleagues this morning, not because we are saving devolution, that we offer leadership as the National Assembly and give the county governments the extra Kshs3.3 billion that the mediation team has agreed on, so that Kenyans can reap the fruits of a devolved system of government. In the 2013/2014 Budget, the county governments were given Kshs190 billion. In the 2013/2014, the allocation to the county governments increased to about Kshs238 billion. This year, the counties have been allocated Kshs259 billion, outside the loans and grants expected from our development partners. This is equivalent to about ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: provides that the Senate in this case determines the allocation of the national revenue among counties as provided for in Article 217 and exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to county governments. In both the letter and the spirit, the Constitution is very clear that the Division of Revenue Bill is solely within the confines of the National Assembly and the County Allocation Revenue Bill, which determines revenue distribution among the counties, is solely within the confines of the Senate. I am sure that the Budget and Appropriations Committee, headed by Hon. Mutava Musyimi, with great minds like Hon. Mbadi, ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Our colleagues in the Senate want to appear to be the defenders of devolution and portray the National Assembly as anti- ugatuzi . There is one moral question I want to put to my colleagues in the Senate, starting with my own Senator, Hon. Haji, because I can only speak to him from the Floor of this House. Article 96(3) says that the Senate must exercise oversight over national revenue allocated to the counties. The biggest corruption today is in both levels of Government. Some of us are not even seeing what the Constitution anticipates, or the import of the ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: send to the counties must be pegged on the functions that have been devolved and gazetted by the Transitional Authority in 2013/2014. The Senate has a role to play. There are many issues happening in our country. For example, the Governor of Embu has turned out to be very outrageous and unique, with nine lives. This is a governor who has been impeached by the Senate, but the High Court reinstated him. Today, the Governor of Embu is sitting in office and riding in a vehicle with a flag. These are some of the outrageous things that happen in this ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Having provided the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriation Committee with food for thought, I beg to second. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for the opportunity. At the outset, I want to say that I was very encouraged to hear your comment earlier that Article 218 of the Constitution needs to be seriously looked at under the review that is currently ongoing because this is a grey area that has caused all this confusion between this House and the Senate and because of time I may not be able to say much on that. I want to say that I support this particular budgetary proposal and say that indeed, it is very challenging. An amount of Kshs400 million is ... view
