• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: today. It will be good for Members in terms of having a break and ensuring that what happens in this sitting will be different from the next one. Basically, that is what I am asking Members to approve. This is purely to ensure that we are within the spirit of our procedures and do not deviate from processes. You cannot table a report and debate it in one sitting. The Report has been tabled, we will now have a break of 10 to 15 minutes, and then we will come back and go through the Report. I am also conscious ... view

• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, just for the interest of Members and some of the people who are likely to misquote the papers we have laid, Legal Notice No.184 all the way to 187 referring to the parliamentary loan schemes is purely to make them sharia compliant. I request Members that it is changing interest to administrative cost. I invite Members to familiarize themselves and the media not to misrepresent what they entail. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. From the outset, I congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a job well done. It has taken the Senate close to two years to do the same. It only took the Budget and Appropriations Committee one weekend to resolve this matter and bring it before the House. They have explained everything, so I will just cover a few things. All this comes from Article 216 of the Constitution that mandates the CRA to make recommendations to the Senate. There was a reason why it was decided that there should be an ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: record. That is one of the biggest failures of the Senate. They are supposed to protect devolution. You cannot protect devolution by removing a factor or parameter that secures the efficient use of funds given to the counties. Where is the oversight? They are not promoting or incentivising counties that use their resources efficiently that they will be given more. Those who misuse resources will be penalised. Similarly, it does not matter if counties do not raise revenue. They do not have to raise anything. They will get funds like everyone else. I can now see why the Senate took ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: At the end of it all, unfortunately, what has been brought here is a revenue-sharing basis that is compromised on those two parameters to achieve some political expediency. They are saying that they do not care about revenue-raising measures or efficiency in the use of expenditure and are instead using that 4 per cent and lumping it in with the road network. It may be within the development component but what do roads have to do with efficiency in the use of revenue? Those are some of the things that we hope will be relooked at. The formula can still ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon.
