• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: (i) Find out why extra judicial killings are so prevalent in Kenya and especially in informal settlements and coastal towns; Madam Temporary Speaker, it is worth noting that recently my Committee held meetings on extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances in Mombasa. (ii) Find out the responsibility of law enforcement organs and security apparatus for extra-judicial violations committed in the process of community policing or the famous, nyumba kumi initiative. (iii) Find out the options that are available to families and victims of extra- judicial killings and enforced disappearances in search for justice; and (iv) Make recommendations to the Senate, arising ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As my colleagues have said, on behalf of the great people of Nandi where we are the source of champions and home of sportsmen, we condole with the people of Vihiga County who are our neighbours on the passing on of the legend and football Maverick, Joe Kadenge. We wish the family well. The people of Vihiga County have our support as neighbours. We will do what we can to ensure the sendoff of our hero is done appropriately.

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: In Nandi County, most of the revenue comes from the sports people. I have heard Sen. Wetangula talking about Henry Rono, Mike Boit and Kipchoge Keino who are our distinguished sons and many others that brought glory to this country. Those are among the few sons and daughters that have done very well from Nandi County. Most of our revenue comes from sports activities. We pride ourselves on our athletes. We are not so much into football, but when it comes to athletics we are dominant. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: I agree with colleagues that we must come up with legislative proposals that will ensure people like Joe Kadenge, Victor Wanyama, Kipchoge Keino, Conseslus Kipruto, Lorna Kiplagat and Janeth Jepkosgei who is nicknamed “Eldoret Express” among many other sportsmen and women are taken care of because they will remain in the books of history. We had the County Hall of Fame Bill that was brought to this House which I think should have passed. We need to partner with the counties when it comes to honouring our sportspersons such that when you go to, for example, Vihiga County Headquarters, you ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: naming it after Joe Kadenge, so that his neighbours from Nandi County can go and run and play football in the stadium. I thank you. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for this wonderful amendment. It is about time. I entirely agree that as devolution grows, there are so many laws that we will come up with to ensure that we become effective and efficient so that devolution works for all Kenyans. We agree that as we go along, the Constitution gave us the structure and the design. Therefore, it is up to us to ensure that we put in place the necessary legislative proposals to ensure that we move forward. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that own-source ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Before the previous elections, there was a decrease in own-source revenues of most counties, which could have been caused by many factors. As I have said, some of the counties have many systems being used to collect revenue. They have duplicated systems of revenue collection which are not tamper-proof, just like the IFMIS. Nowadays you can buy software anywhere on the streets, just like candies. Some counties acquire systems without knowing whether they are tamper-proof or not. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, these amendments are important. I hope that the collaboration between the county governments, the national Treasury and the KRA will enhance maximum revenue collection in counties. If revenues are collected well, it will allow counties to run properly and provide services to many people in this country.

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: There is a proposal to have Clause 160B, which is about reporting on county revenue collection and performance. The county assemblies should be proactive in order to ensure that they play their primary oversight role, which is critical. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: When you look at reports of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), you will realise that from the Financial Year 2013/2014, counties raised around Kshs30 billion. By the FY2015/2016, counties had raised around Kshs37 billion. However, when you look FY2017/2018, there was a significant drop in terms of own- source revenues collected. For example, Nandi County, raised own source revenue of over Kshs245 million in the FY 2016/2017. However, during the FY2017/2018, it fell by over Kshs47 million, which is around 19 per cent. There could be many factors leading to that, such as duplicated systems. Sometimes ... view
