• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: to prepare a regulatory impact statement shall notify the residents of the county, of the intended preparations, by notice in the Gazette, County Gazette and in a newspaper of wide circulation within the county” view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Notification of regulatory impact statements. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: That is why I was telling counties that they now have the powers, now that they do not know; they can use community radios and their local media. We thank God that the media space is now open and almost every region in this country has a radio that is run by private companies. It, therefore, makes it easy. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a Bill that is being sponsored by Sen. Were – I stand corrected if I am wrong – on the issue of the County Printer. We now want to make work easier, because if, for example, Elgeyo-Marakwet County Assembly wants to put a gazette notice maybe on the laws that they are passing, they must come to the national Government Printer. The same is true for all other counties, all the way from Kisumu, Nandi to Mandera. Therefore, when the county printer is available and when we have the county gazette, it will even be ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Let me finish with Clause 10, on the Scrutiny of Statutory Instruments by a County Assembly. I agree that we are trying as much as possible to build the capacity of the county assemblies so that they do not become appendices or a rubber stamp of the county executive. We were told by Sen. Faki that the Mombasa County Assembly is facing closure simply because – according to the information that we are getting – of the fight between the County Executive and the County Assembly. The County Executive wants them to rubberstamp, and the County Assembly told them, “No, ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, we are giving powers to the county assembly to have that capacity and autonomy, it is because they are playing an oversight role. They are the ones who are at the grassroots level to ensure the effectiveness of oversight. However, the Governors are so smart that they have turned the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) into their Public Relation Officers (PROs) by saying, “I will come and do this or that project.” They should, instead, be interrogating these governors but, unfortunately, that is what the governors are doing. That is why we want to ensure that ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: I can see that my time is almost up. The Bill says that:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: “Every statutory instrument made after the commencement of this Act shall stand referred to the Committee or any other that may be established for the purpose of reviewing and scrutiny of statutory instruments.” This is key. They have also spoken about relevant considerations, and this is also guiding the county assemblies. Therefore, county assemblies must ensure that when they are scrutinising these statutory instruments, they must be keen. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I conclude, I remember that even in my own county, there is a time when the MCAs rejected passage of supplementary budget proposals. It subsequently became a huge ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that my time is up. I beg to support this Bill and look forward, during the amendments stage, to bring more amendments so that we can make sure that devolution works in both the spirit and letter of article 174 of the Constitution. I look forward, in the future, that the Devolution Conference should not be turned into a cultural event; but into a development event where we share real ideas on how to better the lives of our people across our country. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
