• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Division of Revenue Bill 2024. First, we cannot, as Senators, say that we are happy with the allocation of Kshs391 billion. Certainly, our counties deserve to get more resources. The national Government continues to remain with a huge chunk of revenue that we collect nationally, and so, we must continue, agitating for county Governments to get more resources. However, the resources will, as we always say here, never be impactful unless they are used well and for the benefit of the people we represent. I do not know ... view

• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: You can imagine, not even one kilometer of a road. For every money that is sent to Nyamira County, all that the governor can do is use marram. That is the only mark that we have for him, and Senator Gloria Orwoba knows that. Sen. Methu is saying I am lucky, but I do not think so. We can use this money better because tarmacking one kilometer of low-density can take up to Kshs40 million. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard ... view

• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: So, if you have an allocation of Kshs400 million in one financial year, you can do up to 10 kilometers and that can transform counties. If you take a county such Nyamira, which is not huge in terms of acreage, you can do a lot. So, our governors need to wake up so that they can join the efforts of the national Government to progressively transform our counties. I am one of those lucky Senators that fiscal capacity and efficiency are not one of the perimeters we use to share revenue. If we invoked that parameter, I would immediately lose ... view

• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: The vision of the government is to reduce the marram roads in our country. We will never achieve that unless the national Government and county governments share the same vision. Finally, I hope that the National Assembly will fastrack the auditing and approval of our accounts so that we move closer to dealing with audited accounts of the previous financial year. I think we are now dealing with FY2019/2020, which is a very skewed way of sharing revenue. We call upon our brothers to also fastrack the approval of the audited accounts, so that we can at least move closer ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I do not think there is any county in the Republic of Kenya, the 47 of them, that is not grappling with this problem of pending bills. view
