• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: In this day and era, why can we not go digital? Why can we not digitize our revenue collection? Why should people using public means or transport pay fare and receive manual receipts instead of using the M-Pesa system? Nairobi County was doing well when they had the digital platform to collect revenue. The revenue collected went up when the collection was digital. However, when they did away with the digital revenue collection system, the revenue collection went down. This is because we want to create weak internal systems of control so that we create a good avenue for syphoning ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate should be firm on the counties to improve revenue collection. If we improve our revenue collection, we reduce pressure from the Central Government. We should not have the mentality that the only way we can spur growth in our counties is through the National Government allocation. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: As I draw towards conclusion, it is sad to note that from this report, the health sector is facing serious mismanagement in our counties. This is giving room to the National Government to continue introducing the debate that the counties have no ability to manage health and that the management of the health sector should be returned to the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: National Government. That should not be the case. We want to take health facilities closer to the people that we represent.

Cases of revenue missing at source is replicated in most of these counties. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if we cannot care and take issues of health that affect the people that we represent here, seriously, then we are losing it. I hope that, going forward, our governors will ensure that people who have been charged with management of our health facilities are men and women of integrity who can protect the revenue that they collect at hospitals so that they can roll it back to buy medicines for the people that we represent. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my time is up. Therefore, with those remarks, I support this report. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support that we should have a Select Committee to look into this matter. I have looked at the names that have been proposed, and I have no doubt that they are up to the task. I would like to mention that that world over, issues of impeachment are taken very seriously. In the United States of America (USA), when the Senate sits to impeach the President, it is the Chief Justice who presides. This is an opportunity for us, as the Senate, to ensure that we do a process that can stand ... view

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order in view of what has been tabled before the House by my good friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’. What has been tabled makes reference to a court case, and I invite the ruling of the Deputy Speaker where an order issued by the High Court by Justice J.
