It will be remembered that this House went to the mediation table seeking Kshs335 billion to be allocated to the counties. We came up with a formula that was scientific on the sharing of the revenue between the national Government and county Governments.

However, ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Kshs316.5 billion. They have argued that if more money is taken to counties, it is stolen and misused. Fingers have been pointed at governors for misuse of funds.

• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: THAT, expectant mothers in Kyuso and Mwingi North are at risk when delivering due to lack of health services in the area. THAT, Kyuso Sub-County Hospital being the main drug supply center to other health facilities in Mwingi North, its closure has caused shortage of drugs in these subsidiary facilities and, as such, citizens are not able to access adequate medical care. THAT, we have made the best efforts to have this matter addressed by the relevant authorities, all of which have failed to give a satisfactory response. THAT, none of these issues raised in this Petition is pending in ... view
