• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to Move the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 23 of 2023) to be read a Second Time. This is a Bill which I hope will establish an Act of Parliament to provide for additional allocations to the county governments for the Financial Year 2023/2024 and state the responsibilities of the national Government and the county government pursuant to such allocations and for connected purposes. The House will recall that when we were passing the Bill for the Division of Revenue, many people who do not know how devolution works, especially from ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: It is important for members of the public to know that this comprises conditional allocations financed by the World Bank credit to finance agriculture and rural inclusive growth projects as set out in column B. It also includes conditional grant allocations financed by the International Development Agency (IDA) of the World Bank. It also includes conditional allocations financed by the World Bank loan to finance the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project and further includes conditional allocations from the World Bank credit to finance the Water and Sanitation Programme (WSP). Further sources of this money included conditional allocations from the grant ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: you realize that they are making those emotional remarks because they want you to give them water. The moment you give out a bottle of mineral water, you see their faces light up. This must stop. This House must refuse. In the last ten years when Governor Nanok who is my best friend, was the Governor of Turkana County, this House, through devolved funds, enabled his government to access Kshs100 billion. That is the amount before you include the additional allocation from all these bodies. Our good friend and Governor presided over it. There are children of the poor in ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My apologies, Sir. Sen. Nyamu shot out of her seat so fast that I failed to conclude. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: In conclusion, with those remarks, I move that the Bill be now read a Second Time and invite Sen. Nyamu to second. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with your ruling. However, as you correctly say that she has been informed, are we sure? Is that information accurate? This additional allocation is money from the World Bank and donor community. We know that the World Bank and donor community projects have been going on for the last ten years. Is the Senator for Uasin Gishu County right in his assertion, knowing that these projects have been going on, where the money was coming from if it is not an allocation? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: We congratulate the President not on additional funds, but on the sharable revenue, which he has released for the first time. Additional allocations from the World Bank and donor communities have been flowing. In fact, for the record, in Kakamega County, we have roads within the town that were done by the World Bank. So, where was Oparanya getting the money, unless the former Governor seated next to the former Governor are colluding to mislead the entire Republic? view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson. Allow me to persuade the Chairperson of the Committee. We have put a lot of thought into this. The amendment by Sen. Mungatana is supported by many of us. What you are saying is not going to help the Bill. We are curing the mischief of our Bill being rendered unconstitutional. If you care to look at Clause 14, it starts by saying that the Cabinet Secretary shall appoint the members of the advisory council. The Cabinet Secretary has no business going into matters of primary health care. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard ... view
• 28 Sep 2023 in Senate: Secondly, the people who have been appointed in (a), (b), (d), and in (h), are all national. So, it makes this advisory council a national function. Let us drop it. We are doing it in good faith. view
