Madam Deputy Speaker, I must appreciate the submissions. I think this will be the most important submission on this Bill from my good friend, Sen. Wako.

Sen. Wako has stated that they made recommendations as the BBI Task Force to restore full legislative powers to this House, but somebody somewhere interfered. Can we benefit from his knowledge because I know he has the facts and history? At what stage did that somebody interfere and remove the proposals to give powers to the Senate?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the women I represent from Nyamira are listening and we do not want them to be misled or confused. Could Sen. Nyamunga clarify because she has left me more confused? She should clarify to the House how we are going to have the Affirmative Action Fund meant for the 47 Women Representatives yet the Constitution proposes to amend Article 97(b) to do away with the women representative seat. Can she shed light to the House or explain? I would like to know the legal miracle that will happen whereby you scrap the seat, but leave the Fund ...

There is also this statement that I would like my women in Nyamira to listen to. When she tells the House that this Fund will be given to the other women, which women are these? The Fund was to be given to the Women Representatives sitting in the House, representing counties. Which other women will get the money?

Madam Deputy Speaker, the Senator should allow me to inform her. She is creating the impression---

4 May 2021 in Senate:
Madam Deputy Speaker, the good Senator is creating the impression that we are misleading or misinforming the House. What we have done is just to highlight what is in the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020.

4 May 2021 in Senate:
On the issue of revenue, what we have highlighted to the House is the implication of the amendment that introduces Article 203(n), which seeks to introduce per capita policy in sharing of revenue. If you take into account the report that was given to us by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO), then there are counties that will lose money. Seven of them will lose a total of Kshs8.2 billion.

4 May 2021 in Senate:
What we have given to the House is a direction implication on what will happen to the sharing of revenue among the 47 counties once the proposed Article 203 (n) is implemented. We have not in any way tried to mislead the House. We have just given the House facts as they are.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you were adjourning yesterday, a point of order was raised by the Senator for Murang’a, Sen. Kang’ata, on what is contained on Pages 97 and 98 of the Report that has been tabled on the Floor of the House. In my brief life, I always like speaking the truth and being very candid. What is contained in this Report is nothing other than the truth and the whole truth. When we retreated as a Joint Committee of the two Houses, as you can see on Pages 97 and 98, we called for the Bills that were ...
