• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House today, Thursday, 9th June, 2022: The Judicial Service Tribunal to inquire into the conduct of Justice Said Juma Chitembwe; Rules and Procedures 2022 published as Gazette Notice No. 6608 of 8th June, 2022; and, The Exit Report of Committee on Selection for the 12th Parliament, 2017-2022. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the County Allocation of Revenue Bill which was passed in the Senate yesterday, after a lot of deliberation, notwithstanding the fact that the figures are the same as last year’s. I want to thank the Senate for gathering enough Members during this busy schedule despite the vast amount of work they have to cover which is slightly different from us. They made it to the House and passed the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA). I also take this opportunity to thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Despite the fact that ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: We also approved the formula that came from the Senate last time, which is the basis we are using. Since the same figures have been applied consistently between last year and this year, then we do not have much of a choice, but to concur. Ours was to ensure the formula is applied as decided by Parliament. Since that has been done, I am happy to recommend to this House to approve the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, together with the Appropriation Bill that we have passed so that they can be the basis of appropriating monies to the national ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: It is the same with the national Government, even as we appropriate funds and move towards the end. Before the end of June and the shutdown of the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), let all contractors who are owed money be paid so that they can pay their employees and all who depend on companies that supplied to both the national Government and county governments. view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I believe the rest is self-evident. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole team that was involved in compilation of these figures. I wish that by the time we get to next year, things will have improved so that we can have more money. There was a Bill which came from the Senate on additional revenues. We looked at it in this House and said that it does not have to be done every year. In the wisdom of the Senate, they refused and said that we needed to go to mediation. Through a very protracted ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Assembly to consider it, we are still sitting until 8th August. Should it be necessary, I will call you to come and pass it for the sake of our counties. It just shows that when we try to do something and people do not understand it, it puts our counties in trouble. With those remarks, I beg to second. view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.28 on the Calendar of National Assembly (Regular Sessions) this House adjourns Sine Die. Let me take this opportunity to thank the leadership of this House for the guidance that it has offered throughout the tenure of this Parliament. I am glad that we have been able to process critical business that will allow smooth transition and continuity of Government services even as we head for the general elections in two months’ time. We are finally at the homestretch and over the past weeks, I have ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Today is not the same as all other days because it is officially the last day of the 12th Parliament in this Chamber. Therefore, it is a moment of reflection where we look back as a House and pat ourselves on the back for the achievements that we have recorded for the last five years and take pride in the services we rendered to our great Republic. It is important for Members to know that as we adjourn today, we are Members of Parliament until 8th August and we still have some time bound business that is pending before the ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: the progress of the Senate between now and next week at least to increase the number so that we do not have many of those 26 not being passed into law. Among the legislative proposals that have been assented to, I wish to highlight on those that have far reaching implications and are unique in nature without mentioning the obvious; the Finance and Budget associated laws, which are considered every year. They include the WAQF Bill, 2017 - which sort out the issues for the Muslim Community; the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Bill; the Physical Planning and Land Use Bill, ... view
• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: I urge Members to take pride in all that we have done and have been able to achieve. Take the lessons learnt and seek to improve the sacred constitutional mandate of Parliament. view
