• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I now want to speak on the highlights of the proposed amendments. I am sure that Members have a copy of the Bill. Clause 2 of the Bill deals with amendments to certain definitions in the Act. The Bill defines “neighbourhood association” and “resident population”. The amendment defines the term “city” to mean a county which is also a city. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 3 proposes to amend Section 3 of the principal Act in order to ensure that in implementing this Act, the county governments comply with the existing National Urban Development Policy. Our counties cannot wake up one morning and decide to implement this law. They must be cognisant of the fact and existence of the National Urban Development Policy. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 4 seeks to make provisions for delineation of boundaries of urban areas or cities. A county government can do that but with the proviso that it must be initiated by the Cabinet Secretary or by the relevant county making a written request to the Cabinet Secretary and in the end form a committee where the chairperson must be a reprehensive of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission as provided for in law and three representatives from the national Government drawn from the ministry for the time being responsible of urban development, and the Ministry of environment. There must be ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clauses 5 and 6 of the proposed amendments seek to review the eligibility for granting a town a city status as having the capacity to effectively and efficiently deliver services to its residents. If there is need to upgrade or to grant a town or a city that status, the services provided for in the First Schedule must be fulfilled. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 7 of the Bill makes provisions for eligibility of the grant of the status of a market, which includes having a resident population of at least 2,000 residents. These are areas that if we wish to amend and disagree with the Senate, we will have to go for a mediation process as provided for in the Standing Orders. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: These days you find markets coming up between two and 10 kilometres. When they build markets without due consultation, the people ask us to put up a school, dispensary and water. This law makes sure that before you put up a market centre, there is a minimum of 2,000 people living there so that you do not create small chiefdoms of people related in one way or another.

• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: This is very common in the pastoralist areas. Sometimes we tend to favour our clans and create so many markets. Those markets cause the NG-CDF and county government resources to be overstretched. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 9 seeks to amend Section 13 of the principal Act in order to ensure that members of the board of a city are appointed by the county governor as opposed to the County Executive Committee. This is to give the governor some leeway or powers. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 16 of the Bill seeks to amend Section 29 of the principal Act – this is found in the back pages of the Bill – in order to ensure that a city or municipality manager is appointed by the County Public Service Board as opposed to the Public Service Commission. I am sure that our county assemblies are listening to us. Before they make any legislation, they must be cognisant of the national legislations this House passes. That this law becomes the guiding principle on the types or kinds of legislation that the county assemblies will implement. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 17 provides for the qualification for appointment as a city or municipal manager. Clause 18 of the Bill seeks to amend Section 31 of the principal Act to ensure that the management of a town is vested in a town committee as opposed to the administrator. view
