• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the amendments have been circulated. The Mover is complaining about a page missing. He should tell us whether his conscience is with the amendments. Your conscience and spirit should be with the amendments. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you need to help the House and guide us. Hon. Kaluma is moving an amendment that Members do not have. We want you to use Standing Order No.1. You have the powers to step aside this matter until tomorrow so that the House is well-guided. We will deal with that matter when all the amendments are on the Order Paper. The problem is that the Clerks-at-the-Table distributed amendments when a whole page is missing. This is a very important matter. We want you to defer this matter to tomorrow afternoon as we arrange for the amendments ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The County Statistics Bill, Senate Bill No.9 of 2018 seeks to establish a system for the county governments in terms of collection, compilation, analysis and dissemination of statistics information that will assist county governments in planning and measuring their socio-economic development. As you are aware, statistics is a concurrent function between the two levels of government. If you look at the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and, more specifically under The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Part I(11) you will find that the national Government is in charge of the national statistics and data on population. So, let us not confuse and imagine that we are giving county governments powers on national issues such as the Census. That is the mandate of the national Government, which also controls any other data on population that concerns the economy and the society in general. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at Part Two of the Fourth Schedule, and more so section 8, you will find that the function of the county government in this matter is that of planning and development which includes statistics. So, for us to develop, the County Government Act of 2012 requires counties to develop County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), County Sector Plans (CSP), County Spatial Plans (CSP) and Cities and Urban Areas Plans (CUAP). For them to conduct all those issues that I have raised, this Bill will provide the framework that will clearly demarcate the functions of both levels of government ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: So, this is a very important Bill. I think for the first time as we move forward, the Senate of the Republic of Kenya is coming to realise its functions as stipulated in the Constitution. The Senate must deal with county matters. It must address legal gaps and challenges. They should look at the County Governments Act and any other law that deals with county governments and bring amendments so that we provide the legal framework for county governments to operate. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Once this Bill is enacted into law, it will provide a legal framework to counties so that they can collect, collate and analyse statistical data that is specific to counties, in order to enhance their planning and evidence. This is so, so that they can make evidence-based decision. Every county must have its own data. They must deal with issues concerning their revenue projections, spatial data, poverty levels, mortality rate, the population age group and the Gross Domestic Product of that county. We envisage that county governments will match their resources to the needs of the people. For example, do ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, while county governments continue to receive resources and budgets from the national Government, questions have been raised as to whether we are getting value for our money as the people of Kenya. There is need to provide data to indicate the accountability of the resources that this House appropriates to counties. We must find out what is the mortality rate in counties. For example I come from Garissa County. Based on the resources and the data available, will they allocate more money to water, irrigation or health? This is because at the end of the day, ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Allocation of resources on the basis of available data and evidence is believed to be economical and is good and adequate for tackling the inequalities that are seen in our country. For counties to share revenues equally, vertically and horizontally, within their wards and cities, there must be an objective way of resource allocation. A governor or a county government cannot just sit without any basis of data, research or information that will form a basis of allocating money to a constituency or a ward. The data available must guide the county government in terms of the revenue to give ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: this Bill will ensure that there is an equitable sharing of both the national and county resources throughout the country. The needs of the people of northern Kenya might not be the same as the needs of the people in Coast, Nyanza, Central or Rift Valley. Different regions of our country have specific needs. The statistics from the 47 counties will guide policy makers and this House in the budget-making process. view
