Secondly, this Bill also tries to obligate the governor to observe constitutional principles in the appointment of the secretary to the county public service board. I think where the Leader of the Majority Party is confusing is the county secretary. The county secretary is different from the secretary to the county public service board. I really want Hon. Kimunya to listen to me. You are talking to a former county secretary. You are not the former county secretary of Kilifi. You have information in as far as the county secretary is concerned. In this Bill, we are dealing with the ...

Thirdly, the Leader of the Majority Party cannot tell this House that we should kill this Bill. No! If there are any constitutional issues on any Bill or Motion, any Member should rise and raise the constitutionality of that Bill or Motion. If the Speaker agrees, then it will be withdrawn. If you have issues, then you amend it at the Committee of the whole House. I hope Members will agree with me. This Bill is dealing with two things. One, whoever will become the chairperson of the county public service board must have additional requirements and qualifications. Two, it ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, I have had a chance to look at the Report of the Committee. I have a lot of respect for the leader because he was also my leader in the 10th Parliament. He was the Deputy Leader of Government Business when the Leader of Government Business used to be the leader of the Wiper Democratic Movement. He never used to be in the House. So, the work used to be done by Hon. Kimunya. I have a lot of history. Kalonzo never used to come to the House. We used to deal with ...

of experience required for one to be appointed the chairman. We might bring an amendment on the number of years for you to be the chairman of the county public service board. I do not agree with the Committee. We might look at that so that we can give room to some young people to become chairpersons of our county public service boards and the elders to retire. They have no business. I think I have convinced my leader that this Bill has no business with the county secretary. A county secretary is Hon. Baya. Before he came to this ...

6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with a lot of respect to my very good friend, Hon. Kaluma, I think he is raising this matter too late. Basically, Hon. Kaluma is trying to just lobby Members for the rejection of this Bill. I agree with him. He can raise any constitutional matter at any time, but not when the Question is about to be put. He had the opportunity during the First Reading of this Bill. When we were doing the Second Reading, he had the opportunity to speak to it. Now you are about to put the Question. I am not ...

6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are on the 11th year of the implementation of the Equalisation Fund. This Fund has a lifeline of 20 years as provided in Article 204 of the Constitution. I want the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation to listen to me. The framers of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, said it in subsection (2) that the national Government shall use the Equalisation Fund to provide basic services like water. However, the most important words that the framers of the Constitution used were “to provide basic services, including water, roads, health facilities and ...

Anyway, this is a system that has been designed since Independence to marginalise the marginalised 14 counties, which are mainly pastoralists. Our day will come when we shall put in place a Government that will be concerned with pastoralists.

6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly:
A Government that understands that every region of this country must develop at the same pace as the region where the leader of that Government comes from. This Fund is very critical for the provision of basic services in marginalised areas. Utilisation has not been very effective because, one, the National Treasury dragged their feet. Two, there was a court case in 2019 that delayed the implementation of this Fund. We are only remaining with nine years. Forget about the shenanigans and the story that was put in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which by the grace of the Almighty ...
