15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was wondering because Junet Mohamed is my junior in terms of the leadership of the House, but you have righted it. I beg to support the Division of Revenue Bill. The primary objective of this Bill is to provide for equitable distribution or division of revenue raised nationally between the two levels of government. This is in so far as Financial Year 2018/2019 is concerned. It is also in accordance with Article 218 of the Constitution. This Bill draws its existence from Article 218 of the Constitution. This Bill is entitled to promote an equitable ...

Chairlady of PAC, Hon. Jessica. I am sure we can burn the midnight oil and provide the most recent audited resources which have been approved by this House. This Bill allocates the county governments an equitable share of Kshs314 billion for the Financial Year 2018/2019. If you compare this with the Financial Year 2017/2018, it reflects an increase of 4 per cent. So, the amount of money given to the county governments increases every year. It has increased by 4 per cent from last year. It means the allocation is twice what the Constitution anticipates. But what are we using? ...

15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
the governor of Nairobi, Hon. Sonko, please, make sure the county hospitals in Nairobi such as Pumwani, Mama Lucy, Mbagathi and many others are functioning, so that we can reduce the traffic going to KNH. The same should apply for the Level 5 Hospital in Machakos and all former provincial headquarters hospitals, such as the Coast General Hospital and the one in Kakamega. The MTRH is also a specialised facility for the whole of that region which includes Nyanza, Western and the Rift Valley. We have made KNH to serve the function of a village dispensary. That is why we ...

(a) a Division of Revenue Bill, which shall divide revenue raised by the national Government among the national and county levels of government in accordance with this Constitution”. Hon. Speaker, this House has, however, realised that in order to facilitate planning and budgeting at the national and county levels of Government, it was necessary to make a determination on the Division of Revenue Bill early in the year. Thus, this House enacted the Public Finance Management Act 2012 and the Division of Revenue Bill will be submitted to Parliament by 15th of February each financial year. I am sure that ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority Bill, 2017 be read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we had a good agreement with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing that he is going to be here. I hope he is watching and will rush to the House. This Bill seeks to establish an Authority under Article 189(2) of the Constitution. This Article is the one that provides for a framework of cooperation between the national Government and the county governments in the performance of the ...
