• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to inform the distinguished Senator from Kirinyaga that, indeed, he is right. In Bungoma County, Kshs50 million was allocated to pornography. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in the same spirit as those who spoke before me, I want to start with a disclaimer, that my support for this Bill is not tantamount to support of the devalued allocation, from Kshs258 billion to Kshs210 billion, as was done by the National Assembly. I, therefore, rise to support the exercise of horizontal division of revenue amongst our counties, but oppose the process that was used to arrive at the sharable revenue. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to reiterate that counties deserve Kshs258 billion and not Kshs210 billion, as contained in the Division of Revenue ... view

• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to urge Sen. Wamatangi to take the trouble and do a bit of research. I wish to table, for your information, a document from the then Ministry of Planning and National Development that announced the population of Kenya, which shows the ten most populous counties in Kenya. It is as follows; Nairobi has 3.1 million; Kakamega - 1,660,000; Bungoma at number three has 1,630,000; number four is Kiambu with 1,623,000 and number five is Nakuru with 1,603,000 people.

• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker.
