• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the incoming Governor of Narok County, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. I know Hon. Wanga is very excited because female Members of Parliament will dominate governorships in 2022. Most likely, one of you will be the Chairlady of the Council of Governors (CoG). I support this Bill because it is a long overdue move. If the Act has been dormant for more than 30 years, it is in good faith that the Committee thought it good to do away with it. The Act is not just being repealed because ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there was segregation during the colonial days. There were toilets which were used by the Whites and those for Africans. It is a prejudice to say that this pension is only reserved for a particular race. We should all be up in arms against it. I also want to know from the Committee and I am sure Hon. Gladys Wanga, the incoming Governor for Homa Bay County is listening: Was there any money that was left in that Fund? If yes, what will we do with it? Will we reserve it for the Asians or will ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Lastly, we would like Kenyans to learn from this Bill. As we repeal and do away with it, what was its import? Are our current pension schemes doing positive things that this Fund was doing in the late 70s and 80s? Was it serving the Asian race? Can it now serve all the Kenyans? This will help us not to lose very important points from a Bill just by repealing it. view

• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice into this very important Bill and Report. The conditional allocation grant, which is more than Ksh7 billion per county is not chicken change. It is money that should be accompanied with a lot of conditions set by the national Government lest we continue having what we are seeing in county governments where 80 per cent of all the money they collect and receive from the national Government goes to payment of salaries and what we call recurrent budget. Sometimes the money goes ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue is about the Senate. As Prof. Oundo has said, the Senate’s work is to oversee county governments, but it has been amorphous in terms of what it is supposed to do. That is why I said it is an amorphous, political civil society. It is like an activists’ club that is just there. You can imagine them summoning the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It is like they do not understand their mandates. One of their mandates is to oversee county governments. That means they should ... view
