• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Before I go to the Bill I want to notify the House that tomorrow being a date set for the Presidential Address on the State of the Nation, it means we shall be debating the Presidential Address on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week as per the Standing Orders. It will be very good if we conclude all the remaining stages of the Division of Revenue Bill today so that the Senate can start the process of debating the County Allocation Bill. Of course, that will affect the county assemblies to prepare their budgets. Hon. Speaker, ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: So, the equitable share of Kshs258 billion in this Bill is the unconditional allocation to be shared among the county governments in accordance with the formula for sharing which was presented to both the Senate and the National Assembly under Article 217 of the Constitution. This Kshs258 billion is based on the last audited accounts and the formula provided by CRA and the provisions of the Constitution. It is unconditional in the sense that the county governments will use the allocation to prepare their budget estimates which will be approved by their county assemblies. That tells us that the national ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: In this regard, an extra amount of Kshs15.6 billion has been allocated to the county governments to develop the health sector. For example, Kshs4.2 billion has been given to support the free maternal healthcare in the counties because healthcare is a devolved system. So for free maternal healthcare to thrive, an extra Kshs4.2 billion has been given to counties. A further Kshs4.5 billion has been given to counties in order to facilitate the leasing of the modern specialized medical equipment. The equipment will be distributed in two hospitals in every county. This will enable easy access to specialized healthcare service ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: the Constitution. Other sharable revenue in 2015/2016 includes the following: With regard to county government the conditional amount was Kshs258 billion. If you add the unconditional amount given by the national Government mainly in the health sector, the total county allocation comes to Kshs273.1 billion which is 21 per cent. For counties that fall within the Equalisation Fund bracket, an extra Kshs6 billion or 0.5 per cent will be accessed by those counties. So, what remains for the national Government? It is Kshs749 billion or 60 per cent of the sharable revenue allocated to the national interests. This translates to ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to also put in my word of supporting this particular Bill. As per Article 218, there is a requirement of this House that we pass this Bill. Indeed, it has been as a result of a lot of work from the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There are a number of very important issues as has been stated by the Mover, who is also the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee. Indeed, as years go by, we are increasing the allocations that we are giving to the counties. Right now, we have ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, free maternal healthcare was allocated Kshs423million. Unfortunately, we are losing lives of very many mothers in this country because of poor maternal healthcare. We have now set it right. This is the opportunity for the Kenyan mothers to stop suffering. Here is the opportunity for the county governments to stand up and now invest in our health centres and hospitals and ensure that this very important service is made available to Kenyans.

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The leasing of the equipment will transform the way many of the medical cases are examined in our country. In the entire north eastern region of Kenya, including the upper eastern region of Isiolo all the way to Tana River, we do not have a single Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine. Now is the opportunity to say that each of the counties will have in any two of its hospitals, MRI machines and other very vital machines that can do very high level examination. This, indeed, is phenomenal. It is an issue that we need to benefit very much as ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, out of the Kshs1.188 trillion, Kshs37 billion has been given to the county governments. The national Government needs to stand up and ensure that Kenyans access services that they have not had for a very long time. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Let us all remember that the money that we are appropriating is not freely collected, but money that has been paid by the sweat of Kenyans through diligent payment of taxes. For that reason, I want to urge the managers of these resources to ensure that they do all the due diligence. They should not fail Kenyans in implementing good policies with the money which we have passed. Corruption has, unfortunately, caused leakage in our economy. Unfortunately, a number of cases are reported in all the counties. We are suffering because of projects not being done, money being misappropriated and ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: oversight bodies on all levels of the Government, I urge my colleagues to ensure that this amount of money is utilised as is required. With those few remarks, I support this Bill. view
