• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: It is worth noting that out of this 26 county governments that are missing out on this 2 per cent fiscal responsibility and a number that have lost the shares that they got in the last financial year vis a vis what they are getting in 2017/ 2018 and 2018/2019, the criteria that has been used is basically on own revenue collection. We are encouraging county governments or rather the criteria used even at the Senate level to also include financial propriety at a time when we are talking about the fight against corruption. This fight against corruption must be ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: finance officer in a respective county. It is therefore important that we encourage the Senate to ensure that this 2 per cent fiscal responsibility also encompasses the element of financial responsibility in terms of ensuring that our expenditures at the county government level are also done in a transparent and accountable manner. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the criteria for allocation on conditional grants is not transparent enough and there is need for the development of a framework for dissemination criteria to be used. The reporting mechanism and monitoring and evaluation of this conditional allocation, especially from the national Government revenues which are all sources of GoK money such as the leasing of the medical equipment that was allocated about Kshs4.5 billion in the Division of Revenue and County Allocation of Revenue Act /2017... During the financial year, the allocation increased to Kshs6.1 billion without an amendment to both the Division of Revenue and the ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Committee therefore makes the following recommendations: That, the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), and the Intergovernmental Technical Relations Committee develop a framework for a clear linkage of the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs), County Fiscal Strategy Papers (CFSPs) and the County Budgets to the Vision 2030 Medium Term Plan III that will actualise the Big Four Agenda. Further, that the period for consideration for approval of the BPS and CSP be increased from two weeks to one month through amendments of the PFM Act to provide adequate time for scrutiny of both documents in line with ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Commission on Revenue Allocation should recommend to Parliament a framework on conditional allocations to county governments that focuses on the allocation criteria, reporting mechanism, monitoring and evaluation of these conditional allocations. It is worth noting again that these conditional grants and allocations that we are giving to the county governments, the criteria used is not very transparent. We are encouraging the CRA to ensure that they develop a framework on this conditional allocation to ensure that every county and Member of Parliament and Member of the County Assembly is aware and knows how much has been allocated ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I do not want to speak much. We are constrained of time because of the pending business. Therefore, I beg to move and seek support through secondment of the Majority Whip, Hon. Washiali. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply. Let me begin by thanking Members for the very good contributions that they have made to this Bill. A few things: I did hear Hon. Atandi mention that there was no money allocated to the Senate to carry out their monitoring and evaluation duties. Indeed, as the Speaker had said, it is good to be attentive when we are considering these Estimates. We did allocate, and I spoke to it at some point when the Leader of the Majority Party was objecting to the allocation of that resource, a figure ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: to make sure that that marginalisation policy done by CRA is tabled before this House, debated and approved by Members of this House. The other issue that has been mentioned in passing is the issue of public participation. Indeed, I can confirm that the Senate did carry out public participation on this Bill. We did not find it to be prudent to use public resources to go out there and purport to be duplicating public participation. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Senate is used to duplicating work that has already been done by the National Assembly. However, we are the more responsible House being the one that appropriates funds and we found it prudent not to carry out public participation so that we do not duplicate what has been done by the Senate. I can confirm to the nation that there has been public participation on this Bill. I did see the advertisements in the newspapers and I know that the Senate carried out public participation. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to reply. It was only my hope that we would have done the Third Reading today but we can do it tomorrow because I am informed the Senate is going on recess on Thursday and it would be important to ask the House Business Committee (HBC) to allow us do the Third Reading tomorrow on this Bill so that it is communicated back to the Senate for them to engage members of the public in their respective counties as they go on recess, on issues that have been covered in this Bill. view
