27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly:
Under Article 114, Appropriation Bills is a money Bill. If you read that Article along with Section 39 of the Public Finance Act, you will find that it is very clear that a Member of Parliament cannot purport to amend the Appropriation Bill, which is a money Bill.

Inter-community conflicts, cattle rustling and increased poaching have also caused a major security challenge to the country. However, the Government has made some efforts ...

So, 80 per cent of Kenya is safe under the leadership of the Jubilee Government. That was on the number of the counties. On the issue of Article 27(4) under the Bill of Rights, there is no discrimination. The 372 health centres are ...
