At some point, I thought on the same page with Hon. George Oner. However, when he spoke, I got a little bit worried. The use of the words “consumer protection”, for those of us who have engaged in this sort of thing--- Unless they want to mean something totally different, I really think the words “consumer protection” in this particular section are misplaced. You are saying for purposes of ensuring consumer protection and all these other things they are saying. I do not understand what you want to mean by “consumer protection” in terms of regulatory standards. Please clarify for ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Like my colleagues who have spoken before me, and since it is a Procedural Bill that we have to pass for purposes of having money in the counties, I support this Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Ogande Mixed Secondary School, you are very welcome. That is my home county. I am really privileged and honored that they are here. I am sure Hon. Peter Kaluma is very excited that his villagers are here. That is actually from his rural home. He must be very impressed. I will speak on his behalf. Hon. Deputy Speaker, colleagues who have contributed before me have said that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill ought to come slightly earlier than it has come right now. It is supposed to help us canvas all these small issues ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to see the Governor of Homa Bay, Hon. Cyprian Awiti, putting money into good use. I am hoping that the County of Homa Bay improves in terms of development issues. I would like to particularly look at issues of health in Homa Bay County. A lot of money has been allocated towards this end. I hope that the status of Homa Bay County District Hospital improves; that healthcare improves and workers are paid because over the past couple of days, we have had county government monies not allocated to useful functions that ...

We have had a back and forth decision on the leasing of medical equipment by the national Government on behalf of county governments. A conditional grant or a conditional allocation of monies to counties presupposes the fact that the national Government already knows the reasons why the money is being given and that is why it is a conditional grant. So, to the extent that some county governments signed the leasing of equipment agreement without knowing what they are leasing, is to give them ...
