• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sorry--- view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: I spoke because I saw the microphone was on, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sorry to interrupt such a flow of presentation that was going on but consistently the dear lady sitting in the Chair is being referred to as ‘ Bwana Madam Speaker’. So I am a bit worried about the terminology. Are you sometimes Bwana ? view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will start by congratulating Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget for coming up with this Bill. I think this is what the Senate and the county assemblies have been waiting for. I also thank Sen. Kang’ata for conceptualizing the initial Bill and now we have this Bill in an amended version. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: During the Eleventh Parliament, we had an interesting Petition before the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. The Petition came from an MCA from of one of the wards and he was very bitter. He perceived that he did not have a good relationship with the governor. As a result, he claimed and almost tabled evidence that he felt that his ward was unfairly targeted and that development was not taking place in that ward. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: It was a long Petition. He appeared before the Committee, executed his case and talked for a long time. The importance of that case is that it brought to the fore the inequalities and lack of equitable distribution as far as resources and projects are concerned.

• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the right interests in specific projects. There is the notion that projects will be vetted by the communities. That is important because communities will think of the type of projects they want and that will enable them to jumpstart their wards. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Participation and social development are also key. Across the board, whichever indicators you look at, whether in terms of development within the counties or human development indexes, there is unequal development. view
