• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this important appointment of Madam Jane. My friend Hon. Jakoyo is arguing about the people seated out there. We know the people who have sent them. The Opposition has been pushing them to come and paint a bad picture of the Government. On the doctors’ strike, the Chair of the Council of Governors (CoG)--- view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I stand guided but Hon. Jakoyo should know that it is the Governor for Kisumu who took the doctors to court. He should go and withdraw the case. It is not us; it is the Chairman of the Council of Governors. The people who went to court are known. They should withdraw the case so that it is not seen as if the President is the one behind it. The President has no business with the doctors’ issues because health is a devolved function. It is true, Jane is qualified to be the Chairperson of the CRA. Article 215(2) states ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am referring to Article 216. I totally agree with Hon. Jakoyo that counties have been allocated monies. Why should the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) come and ask for more money to be given to them without giving us a report on how the three years allocation has been spent? It is very sad that counties misappropriate these funds and when they are requested to appear before the Senate we see cat games. This is the case and yet not even a single governor has been arraigned in court on matters related to corruption. It is a ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: “(i) the need for economic optimisation of each county to provide incentives for each county to optimise its capacity to raise revenue.” It is not fair for the national Government to continue allocating money to county governments which have been given a responsibility to collect their resources so that they can bridge the gap. Where they are not given enough money, they should use their own local resources to continue offering services to the local mwananchi . If you look at most counties, first of all, you will find that without any care for the local person, they increase their ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be deleted. The clause proposes to amend Sections 39 and 42 of the principal Act to allow for withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund in the event Parliament has not approved the same or when the Appropriations Act, the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill have not been passed by 1st of July. The proposal contravenes Articles 222 and 223 of the Constitution. If maintained as it is, the Act will seemingly be amending the Constitution, which is ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be deleted. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: It is unconstitutional because it authorises withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund without considering the prerequisite laws. So, it is just as the previous one. view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: These two clauses allow withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund without prerequisite laws. So, we saw that they were almost the same. Why should we have unconstitutional clauses? I want Hon. Mary and Hon. Makali to contribute because we are in the same Committee. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment because it is important for us to have a unified way of learning in the country instead of having confusion. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology should take issues seriously when we have institutions trying to bring other curricula into our system. They should be discouraged. I totally support. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, I do support that. As the Vice-Chair has just indicated, it is important for us, particularly the caregiver. This has always been a subject of a lot of discussion in most of these ECDEs. So by giving that definition, I think it is going to be clear. Thank you. view
