• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, Senate Bill No.11 of 2018, as ably moved by the Chairman of Budget and Appropriations Committee. Allow me to appreciate the expeditious manner in which the BAC has executed its mandate in processing the County Allocation of Revenue Bill in line with Standing Order No.234. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I am also cognisant of the importance of this Bill in ensuring that each county government has its respective share of revenue raised nationally as well as conditional allocation. I am aware that this is the last County Allocation of Revenue Bill to be formulated on the basis of the second formula for the annual allocation of national revenue among the counties. I recommend that these governance matters in counties be considered when coming up with the third formula. I am concerned on the support to counties by development partners. Members are aware that the Senate has published the Division ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: occasioned delays in submission of development partners’ commitments. This means out there, our budget process and timelines are not being adhered to. The legislative budget calendar should be respected and development partners should ensure their support to counties is submitted early enough to be included in the Budget Policy Statement and consequently in the division of revenue that shall inform the county allocations of revenue. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, lastly, as the Mover has said, I do not want to talk much in secondment because this is a Bill that has largely been dependent on our partner House, the Senate. So, we just need to ensure that whatever they agreed upon is adhered to as per the Budget requirement. I support the adoption by this House of the Report by the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2018. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank Hon. Osotsi for moving this Adjournment Motion. I want to quickly confirm to this House that for the last three months, Mumias Sugar Company has not been operational. Therefore, any sugar packed in Mumias Sugar bags is contraband, fake, counterfeit and has been illegally imported to this country. Just like Hon. Osotsi has said, this House cannot be debating, approving and making reports in vain. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am constrained to say what I wish. However, I just want to clarify that Mumias Sugar was on high demand. I do not think there is any sober trader who is still keeping it in his store just waiting for contraband sugar to come because it was held behind. view
