• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: May I also congratulate the Harambee Stars for their excellent display on Sunday. We were all very proud for the first time as Kenyans regardless of what part of the country we come from. We were all united in cheering and applauding the work that our team did at Kasarani. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Let me come back to the substance of this Motion. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: First, the Chairman mentioned stalled projects. When we were transitioning in 2015, we were asked not to touch any projects that were defined by the Constitution to belong to the counties. As a consequence, most of those projects have since stopped and a way must be found. In Likuyani, I can count many. We had started a number of bridges that have stalled and some have been swept away because they had not been completed. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: As you know, I am a medical doctor and health is so close to my heart. We had started a number of dispensaries. Some were even completed but the there is a bit of bad blood between counties and the national Government. We have asked our county of Kakamega to start running them, bring us drugs, a nurse, clinical officers and let us open these dispensaries but up to now they have not done that. Since you might ask me to substantiate, I will mention two or three in my constituency. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: There is a dispensary in Kware, Mbururu and in an area called Aligula. There are many others that are complete but they are not functioning. I cannot understand what is happening. To just add, there are so many of those other projects we had started and I am sure all MPs have that experience. Some had been done to 50 per cent, 75 per cent and some even 90 per cent but we were told by the board that we cannot touch any project that belongs to the county. So, I agree with the recommendation that a special fund must ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, I want to talk about something that even as we were having the last supplementary debate also came up. Virtually, all people said the NG-CDF is the only fund that you feel and see its work when you walk on the ground. It is the only fund that people can see The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: what it is doing. That people do not know what the counties are doing. This is something many MPs would talk about. view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Obviously, as a country we must get to a point where we say: “Did we make a mistake in bringing devolution at the level of counties or did we make a mistake in the structure of devolution?” My own view is that we made a mistake in the structure of devolution. We should have had three tiers of devolution; not the one that Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga talks about, but one where we devolve from the national to county government and devolve these funds further down. Before we set up the NG-CDF in this country, there was completely unequitable development. ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: That is the same thing that is happening in other counties. Therefore, we should have a law saying that if we will get a chance to get to the referendum, that once money comes to the county, the county government is obligated by law to let this money flow a little further down. As far as devolution is concerned, we are talking about wards. I am glad even without the law being very clear some governors have actually agreed to have a ward development fund. In certain other counties such as my county of Kakamega that have not been affected, ... view
• 17 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Therefore, if that is the issue, we cannot depend on the magnanimity of an individual. Let us put it in law. I will propose that we put it in law so that once the funds get to the county; we use the same formula of getting funds from the national Government. If it is 15 per cent - in this case people are talking about 25 per cent- it is the same formula that we will use once that money has reached the counties to disburse this money to the wards. view
