• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I want to congratulate my brother, Sen. Olekina, on the role of Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) in this Bill. However, I would like to refer him to Article 216 (2) of the Constitution, which states: “The Commission shall also make recommendations on other matters concerning the financing of, and financial management by, county governments, as required by this Constitution and national legislation.” view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we talk about national legislation, this is one of them. Therefore, I think the CRA has got a role to play in the determination and execution of this role. I just wanted to inform my brother, Sen. Olekina, to refer to that Article before he considers making the relevant amendments that he wanted to make. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, first of all, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this noble idea. I want to categorically state that I support this Bill with a primary view that it will benefit the local communities. For a long epoch, we have seen communities which have not benefited from the natural resources in their respective counties. I support this Bill because of Clause 4 which provides for transparency and inclusivity; revenue maximization and adequacy; efficiency and equity; accountability and participation of the people; rule of law and respect for human rights of the people and sustainable natural ... view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: the national Government. We have had the establishment of sovereign wealth funds in many countries like Norway and we have seen success stories in several countries like Algeria, Ghana, Nigeria and Angola. It is important and incumbent upon the leadership of this country to consider having the right policies to manage the SWF. When it comes to the policy of the SWF, we have had three competing options. First, we need to strike a balance between saving the revenue accrued from the natural resources to stabilising and developing our economy. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. stated that it is important that ... view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: underneath. Therefore, this Bill will ensure that the people who have been endowed with these blessings benefit from their resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are schools in Ikolomani which have no permanent floors. There are jigger invested students walking around villages yet they are the owners of gold. Therefore, it is absurd. I, therefore, congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with such a noble idea to cushion and protect our people not only in Kakamega but, the entire country. Madam Temporary Speaker, lastly, on the issue of County Benefit Sharing Committee, we have given that Committee mandate to engage ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We have seen situations whereby people come to Kakamega County to exploit resources and they get into some funny community development agreements which are not honoured. For example, there is an exploiter who came to Kakamega and promised to construct a dispensary in Roasterman Village. However, up to now, that dispensary is not there. Therefore, the mode in which this Bill provides that such community development agreements will be deposited to the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) is a noble idea which I support. We need to have a binding agreement between the two parties ... view
