Mr. Speaker, Sir, my apologies. I am not riding on anything. The great senior counsel, Sen. Omogeni, who is the only among the three in this House has said that he travelled with the Committee to check the conditions of Kenyan doctors. Therefore, is it in order for him to lament like all of us? He should tell us whether he is aware of any negotiated deal between the Government of Kenya and the Government of Cuba over the doctors’ exchange programme? It looks like the Committee went to Kenya on a tourist excursion---

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in thanking the brain behind this Bill, Sen. Kang’ata. This Bill is important because it removes the shackles of doom from the ferocious governors who capture and recapture the MCAs. It is interesting to note that when you attend a function with a governor, the MCAs fall over themselves by displaying sycophantic tendencies of hero worshipping for the governor to develop their region. Development looks like a privilege more than a right. Every Kenyan, as per the Constitution and in the spirit of ensuring uniformity, equal and equitable development ...

I want to commend the Committee on Finance and Budget for fine-tuning this Bill and as my brother said, a better idea gives way to the best idea. My worry since the inception of this idea has always been the principle of separation of powers. This is because the county assemblies are supposed to provide oversight as per the Constitution yet we wanted them to do the executive work. ...

I always wonder why we should have communication departments in most of the county governments because MCAs are the PROs of the governor. For example, before a governor speaks, they say that he or she has created a particular road from point A to B and used millions of shillings. MCAs are guilty of this Section. I hope that with this new Bill, most MCAs who are guilty of Section 9(2) (a) and (b) of the County Government’s Act will stop. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Zani for bringing the report of the Gross County Product ...
