acknowledge he is one of the key stakeholders that has great input as far as this committee is concerned. To our surprise, apart from our frequent stakeholders, for the first time, we saw most of the governors appearing. We had about 10 of them who were able to diligently give their time. We also had others like the Institution of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), the Institute of Social Accountability (TISA) and the County Assemblies Forum (CAF). In 2024, the BPS has mainly focused on sustaining the bottom-up economic transformation for economic recovery and improving livelihoods which is highly ...

that would give us an automatic increment out of the 15 per cent which is the equitable share to our governors. The equitable share is not a beg from the national Government, but a requirement by the national Government.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your protection. That is how we were able to resolve that 6.4 per cent of the Kshs385.425 billion was to give us about Kshs410 billion. The issue of the medical equipment that had been mentioned earlier had been brought to zero during the mediation period. The 5.86 included, will give us the Kshs415 billion. It is one thing to give counties Kshs415 billion and another for the National Treasury to adhere to the timely cash disbursements that have been set. Without this, we will have a challenge. The other issue on the advocacy for ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also air my views. It is amazing how things are done in Africa. All the Senators who have travelled to foreign countries have seen the kind of standards of the roads there. Roads in those countries outlive the current population. Some go for over 100 to 200 years, but in Africa, the way things are done, everything is lopsided. If you look at the contracts of the roads, you realise that there are clauses--- Those in legal professions will tell you that in the law of the tort, there ...

associate professionals. They will not only be surcharged, but also face a stiff penalty of even 50 years and above. This is very serious and billions of Kenyan taxpayers’ money has been spent to put up roads. Then, the Government has to revisit the same. It is very interesting that in Machakos there are very key roads which were started by the Jubilee Government. Examples are the road from Ekalakala to Matuu, Donyo Sabuk to Tala-Thika and Kathiani-Lower Kaewa which have stalled. This Ministry should come clear and disclose what the problem is. Is it that the Government does not ...
