Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support the President’s Speech which highlighted a number of issues. One of the issues that the President explicitly highlighted is the issue of security. Insecurity in the country has tremendously reduced, especially with regard to terrorist attacks. At the same time, the Government must have a balanced approach in handling matters of insecurity. Insecurity differs from region to region. Areas in the north western part of Kenya, especially Turkana, face greater incidences of insecurity. Turkana borders South Sudan, Uganda and Ethiopia. Kenyans of Turkana origin are still dying due to ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I wish to state that the Division of Revenue Bill recognises the existence of two levels of government upon which the national collections are shared. The challenge we are facing as a country is lack of proper and efficient utilisation of this money to ensure that it is spent for the intended purpose.

Clause 6 of this Bill gives general provisions which emphasise on dispute resolution before instituting court proceedings which include provision of liability on public officers. You realise that most of the cases lying in courts arise out of liabilities or problems caused by public who are serving in counties. This arises as a result of their negligence, not following procurement procedures and rent seeking behaviour. In a nutshell it makes the county governments to spend public funds on litigation processes other than service delivery.

Allocation to counties has significantly increased from Kshs190 billion in the 2013/2014 Budget to Kshs302 billion. This increment is extremely significant. Any financial increment in allocation must be accompanied by equivalent or marginal increment in service delivery. But what is happening is the reverse. There is no corresponding increment in service delivery which is commensurate to the amount of money allocated. Therefore, the Auditor-General’s Office must try to reconcile between the two disparities.
