• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. One needs to have a sense of tolerance. It is a virtue. The Division of Revenue Bill, 2017 is prepared in accordance with Articles 202, 203 and 218 of the Constitution. It provides for the sharing of the revenue raised nationally. The manner of doing so is provided by law. The timelines provided for the process are contained in this Bill. It is a culmination of a resolution that was adopted by this House when we passed the Budget Policy Statement of 2017. It is worth noting that the sharable revenue for 2017/2018 ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Above that there is a further additional county conditional allocation, which is not part of the sharable revenue. This is Kshs7.8 billion which is raised from the Fuel Levy and Kshs12.5 billion as the proceeds of loans and grants. So, in total the 47 county governments will receive Kshsh323.7 billion which constitutes 34.6 per cent of the most recent audited revenue of Kshs935.6 billion for the Financial Year 2013/2014, which has been approved and submitted by the Public Accounts Committee. Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me start with the problems we are facing in the health sector. The management of health ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The problem is that all these monies appropriated via the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill by both the Senate and this House all go to the County Revenue Fund (CRF). When they go there and they are not ring-fenced for the health sector, the county governments use that money for other purposes. We do not know, for instance, how much money is appropriated by this House for Level 5 hospitals like the Garissa Provincial General Hospital (PGH). Therefore, we must, as a House, ring-fence the health sector. Secondly, we should not allow health allocations ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: 37 billion were pending bills. That is unprecedented and I am sure that is why this House must re-look the legislation and deal with this matter. The fiscal performance of county governments has been above average over the last two years. The concern is the ability of county governments to raise their own revenue. Nairobi County can raise Kshs10 billion or more every financial year. If you ask them they will tell you they raise Kshs2 billion or Kshs3 billion. A number of counties are having challenges even in revenue estimation; they cannot even estimate what their local revenue is. ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House: The Reports of the Auditor-General on the Financial Statements in respect of the following constituencies for the year ended 30th June 2015, and the certificates therein: (i) Wajir North Constituency; (ii) Mumias West Constituency; (iii) Matungu Constituency; (iv) Mwingi Central Constituency; (v) Navakholo Constituency; (vi) Butere Constituency; (vii) Teso South Constituency; (viii) Tigania West Constituency; (ix) Kitui Rural Constituency; and, (x) Emuhaya Constituency. view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to thank Members for contributing to this Bill. But before I proceed, after listening to Hon. Wamunyinyi, I want to say something. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to make it clear and go on record that once a Bill is read the First Time and is referred to Committees, there is no law that bars any Committee from looking at it. So, Hon. Nyikal, Standing Orders still provide that if there are matters of health, your Committee can look at it and bring a Report. But, ideally, ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: seeks to protect the rights of a suspected sexual offender for the purpose of ensuring that all the avenues of appeal against a conviction are exhausted before a court can declare such person a dangerous sexual offender. We have no much issue with that. The issue I have really listened to and I have been following debate on this afternoon is the impression created that the amendments to this Act intend to lower the age of sexual consent from 18 years to 16 years. In order to cure this, we shall be introducing a provision or I will go further ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I want to assure Members that for the sections of Sexual Offences, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and, the Treaty Making Ratification, we will look at them and make a decision either to delete them at the Committee of the whole House or if the House agrees with me after consulting the Legal Department and the legislative arm of Parliament, to see whether we can write to the Speaker and remove them. With those many remarks, I thank the House and tell my good friend, Dr. Nyikal, that Parliament will be sitting until a day to the election. So, ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the National Coroners Service Bill be read a Second Time. This Bill seeks to establish national coroners service. It prescribes procedures for investigation into unexplained death that can occur. I want to give the highlights of the various provisions of the Bill. I am sure Members have gone through it. Part I of the Bill deals with preliminary matters which include the definition of interested persons, in relation to a deceased person, who may seek the services of the coroner in particular cases. Part II of the Bill establishes ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: provides where the coroner finds the cause of death amounting to an offence under the law, the report shall be forwarded to the office of the DPP and the AG for appropriate action. That is why we say Kenya has come of age. We are among the very few countries in the world which are enacting or have this piece of legislation. If, for instance, a prisoner or a suspect dies in Shauri Moyo or Pangani police station, an investigation will be done by the coroner- general. If the report that comes out finds a certain officer culpable or an ... view
