Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Division of Revenue Bill, 2022. This is part of our mandate as provided for under Article 218 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. Ours is to ensure that we expeditiously process this Bill. The total shareable revenue is Kshs2.1 trillion. The national Government will get Kshs1.7 trillion, Equalization Fund will have Kshs7 billion, while county governments equitable share will be Kshs370 billion. I cannot be bamboozled by the percentages. The national Government will get Kshs2.1 trillion. The President admitted that we lose Kshs2 billion daily. I would have expected county governments to ...

missing school because of not getting county bursary it is so critical. So, we should be investing more. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is what we meant when we talked about the bottom-up economy, where we need to build more on the lowest level as opposed to the highest level where we propose trickle down. This is the assurance that some of us in our formations believe that we should allocate more resources to counties. When you talk about health, you need that Universal Health Coverage at the lowest level. Access to NHIF, access to good roads and feeder roads that ...

allegations of corruption. I have seen it has been reported in some of the dailies today that a number of governors are under active investigation of corruption. Madam Temporary Speaker, the more this continues, it is a threat. We are aware that all these governors wherever they are in the formations they are in; they continue to be a threat to corruption. That incompetency continues to affect service delivery. That is why going forward, and as the fourth Senate is inaugurated in the next few months; we must agree as a Senate and the future Senate that we must have ...

will tell when you are campaigning this season, thank you Senator for pushing for more resources but we did not see the money. They will ask you, what did you do about it? I think that is also the same challenge you are also facing in Kajiado County. They will say Senators you are doing a good job, you have added resources but they will tell you there is no road and water. I saw that a bridge collapsed in your county. It means there was poor work that was done. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that you and your ...

equipment was a public rip-off. It is a report that was presented before this House by Sen. Dullo’s Committee. They said at that time that the issue of medical equipment, supplies and leasing to counties was a money rip-off by the counties. I can see they have an added Kshs7 billion in this proposal. I do not know, as the Senate, what we can do. I know we might end up going to mediation. I do not think we can go against our word as the Senate. We agreed here that this was a public rip off but, again, we ...
