• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: project. That project should be finished within six or eight months so that our people can get value for their money. I think that has been the greatest challenge that we have been facing. On the issue of pending bills, this issue of projects has brought a very big challenge of pending bills. As we talk, county governments pending bills are approaching Kshs120 billion. We have argued in this House and there was even a National Treasury circular on how we can ensure that this issue of pending bills is resolved once and for all. The sad part is that ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Secondly, on recommendation on the issue of project follow up status, we need to agree and develop a model where, if as a committee and a Senate the report has been adopted, for instance, that a Project X be completed somewhere in Wajir, there should be follow-up on that project to ensure that it is completed within six months. Thirdly, on the issue of transition period, especially during electioneering period, we must protect and ensure that the human resource that is in place should be protected. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: Finally, on own source revenue, I did indicate yesterday that when most counties appeared, we asked them why in own source revenue they targeted a certain amount and why is your revenue low. My argument on especially in FY2017/2018, was politics. view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: When it came to FY2020, they were telling us it is because COVID-19. I saw even in one of the leading dailies that KRA failed to collect Kshs1.6 trillion. It looks like the issue of revenue system within our counties continues to be a challenge. We would like to call upon the counties to diversify their own source revenue to ensure they maximise on collecting those own source revenues so that when they bank with the county treasury that amount money within the own source revenue can be improved. There is no county that told us with certainty that they ... view
• 15 Jun 2022 in Senate: and so on. Looking at this report, I would like to call upon my colleagues to support this report and adopt it. The recommendations are good and we are ready to move forward. I hope in the next Senate the minority side who will chair the CPAIC, probably the Azimio, should be able to give us proper direction and recommendations going into the future. With those many remarks, I beg to second. view
• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you, for this opportunity. I have seen in the Order Paper the charge schedule allocations from the Equalization Fund from the marginalized areas for the FY2022/2023 and there is cash disbursement that has been given. Nandi County stands to benefit up to a tune of around Kshs158,000,000 – Kshs200,000,000. Although counties have not closed down, they are existing in perpetuity. It is important that we process this because the counties cannot move at the moment. They need those resources. I hope as we push for cash disbursement schedule as it has been moved by our ... view

• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: shocked as a country. I know Sen. Farhiya might be aware of the governor because she comes from that region. We are pushing this cash disbursement because the schools are on. We want our children to be issued with bursary. We would like to have our roads made, especially where I come from, it is the rainy season. Our farmers cannot take their milk and produce to the market because of the poor state of the roads. This is a warning to the incumbent governors. I hope the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is watching. No incumbent governor should ... view

• 14 Jun 2022 in Senate: There are many threats from governors, especially those who are incumbent and who own political parties. That they are using the money that we are giving here, money that belongs to our people for political campaigns. If a governor wants money for their political activities, they should fundraise. The law allows candidates to fund raise. The IEBC and other agencies must be on the look out on misuse and abuse of public resources for the campaigns. Let our children get bursary and medicine. As I conclude, when you go to many hospitals, there are no drugs and the ambulances are ... view
