Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the risk of repeating what has been said by many other Members, I want to be very brief. One of the things that have been said about Prof. Magoha, son of Magoha, being forthright and very faithful to the truth, is something I witnessed during his vetting. I asked him a question about the circumstances under which Dr. Matiang’i left the University of Nairobi (UoN). He was very forthright. That told me that this is somebody who is forthright and who sticks to the truth and stands for it.

Secondly, one thing I had observed about Prof. Magoha long before he was even nominated as a CS when he was working at the UON is his dedication to results. As they testified during the vetting process, he was able to move the UON from an institution that was largely dependent on Government funding. At this time when we have challenges with public universities, it is only fitting that a person of the calibre of Prof. Magoha heads the Ministry of Education. I pray that in his new position, he will guide our public universities to work in the way ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move that the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. Hon. Speaker, as the Majority Party Whip, Hon. Washiali has indicated, this is one of those Bills that have a timeline in the budget cycle of 30 days from the first time it appears before this House. It is a Bill that is handled in both the National Assembly and the Senate. As Members may be well aware, the Senate has already proposed an additional allocation of Kshs25 billion to Kshs335 billion to the ...

Mediation Committee unless the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) and the Summit, which is usually chaired by His Excellency the President, agree with the Council of Governors (COGs) on the final figures. As it is, we work on the premise that it will probably end up in mediation this year unlike last year when the figures were agreed to at IBEC and we were able to conclude both the Division of Revenue Bill and the Appropriations Bill well ahead of time. The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2019) was read the First Time in the ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is instructive to note that there have been increments, especially in the Fuel Levy Fund which has got an allocation of Kshs8.9 billion. The money will go to county governments besides what has been allocated to them in terms of the equitable share. So, it is a further Kshs9 billion that specifically targets roads in our neighbourhoods and in various wards in our constituencies across all the 47 counties. It is instructive to note that many governors and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) are not able to show the public what they do with ...
