• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to respond to the issues that my colleague Senator has brought on the Floor of this House. One, he says that there was a team of 21 people who were selected to allocate the land to squatters in Chepchoina Scheme Phase II-- - view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My bone of contention is; as a leader of Trans Nzoia, I was not aware. There are many other leaders in Trans Nzoia who are not aware of this list. In fact, the list that he has brought to the Floor of this House varies from the list that I got The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Bill which has come to this House at the right moment. The amendment of the Bill is in order because the Act is seeking to amend what was enacted in 2012 before devolution came into place. This Bill is also constitutional as per Article 110 (a) which requires that we define the location of a county government. In the past, there were provincial and district governments, but now they have been phased out and replaced with county governments. The Bill also seeks to curb those powers by a single ... view
• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to add my voice in support of the Division of Revenue Bill which is before this House for 2014/2015. The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) is the body that is mandated to calculate and come up with the allocation of the revenue between the national and county governments. They have the expertise and even we in the Senate should rely on them because they have the formulae and the parameters which they use to work out the allocations. The CRA had proposed a figure of Kshs279 billion which has now deviated to Kshs226.6 billion. ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Mover of this Motion. The Procedural Motion on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014 and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2014. It is important for this House to have enough time to deliberate on these two Bills that are very important as they touch on our mandate of oversight and determining revenue for counties. Reducing the period from seven days to one day is important because it will give us enough time. It will also enable the counties to be able to know how much money is The electronic version of ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to add my voice to this very important Motion which has recognized that illiteracy is a problem in our communities. I would like to say that adult education is very important if this can be devolved down to the grassroots level so that our old mamas and their children can be educated so that they can understand what is happening around them. This will also enable them to do business because if you are illiterate, it is very difficult to do trade. How do you trade internally and externally with other countries ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Senate Calendar which is well thought out. It gives us a vision of what we are supposed to do and where we are supposed to be in the next 12 months. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion and congratulate Sen. Wako for bringing it to the House. As we have rightly heard from the last speaker, he said that civic education is very important and it must start at the top. That is very good because it is coming from the Jubilee side. We have seen Bills being signed into law and I think that is a very good message that you have sent out there. Civic education is very important because it will sensitize the public so that they are able to interrogate ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the population of Trans Nzoia County is 818,000 and not 818 million. It is very important that people are made aware of what devolution is because it is new. People must accept change because devolution is here to stay. The purpose of devolution was to move the power and the resources to the people. In essence, what I am trying to say is that we should all understand what devolution is all about. We should make sure that counties are allocated more money so that they are able to provide services to the people. When we ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to contribute to this matter. I think when we had the joint Kamukunji, that was a very good indication that we are now starting to talk. I think we should not spoil that spirit. We should wait for the ruling from the National Assembly and then the two Speakers will sit together and discuss the matter. Once a Bill or a Motion has been put before the House, you cannot read the minds of the Members. We should let them debate it because at the end of the day, they will take a ... view
