• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: The best way to implement that policy is to ensure that Kenyans who are at the bottom of the pyramid, in terms of earnings, are taken care of. They are our brothers and sisters and voters at the county level. We really need to champion their cause. I hope that the committee that will be tasked to look at this matter will summon the SRC to give us an update as to when they last viewed salaries of clinicians, nurses and other people who are in the healthcare sector. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Statement and plead with my ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Oketch Gicheru. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I read Article Six of the Constitution, we have two governments that are interdependent. That is the national Government and 47 county governments. Where you and I went to law school in the University of Nairobi, there used to be the Government Proceedings Act that prohibited attachment of Government property. I cannot understand how KRA can attach monies for counties at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) because these are two governments. I am happy that in the House, we have ... view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to point out a case of Nyamira County. As we speak, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has attached the accounts of the Nyamira County Assembly. We cannot access the account. The allegations are that the County Government has not remitted Pay As You Earn (PAYE). I can authoritatively say that remittances for December and January have not been remitted to Nyamira County. PAYE is deducted at source. You pay and then deduct. I pose the question; how can KRA purport to demand to be given PAYE for money that has not been disbursed and we ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the Chairperson of the Finance Committee in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) was going to be the bearer of good news. I thought he would say that tonight, he will have a word with His Excellency the President and by tomorrow, Nyamira County Assembly will have its money. However, I take the advice. I will speak to the MCAs so that they do not impeach this poor lady, the CECM for Finance. It is not her mistake that money has not been disbursed to Nyamira County Government. Mr. Speaker, Sir, nonetheless, I want the Committee ... view

• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: have happened during his tenure. Neither would it have happened during the tenure of hon. Oparanya. We are now celebrating women, but where is the voice of Gov. Waiguru, the Governor of Kirinyaga? She should be speaking on this matter. I have not heard any statement. I request Commissioner, Sen. Korir, to reach out to Gov. Waiguru and tell her to talk about this issue. We do not want county governments to be harassed by KRA. We love our women. This is the International Women’s Week. We need to hear her voice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope the CoG will ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, how can I lay blame on the gracious lady, Gov. Waiguru? All I urge is that we want to hear her voice, as the CoG Chairperson. She should come and address issues facing our counties. In fact, I want her to take personal effort, the way I have been advised by Sen. Kinyua, to speak to the MCAs of Nyamira County, to spare this poor CECM for Finance. She is being impeached for lack of funds in Nyamira County Government, yet the mistake is not of her own making. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, advise Sen. Kinyua that he cannot speak twice on the same issue. He is totally out of order. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, assist us. We are proud to have you as our Speaker. You have been a Governor and you know the financial problems that county governments go through. Assist us to ensure that we strengthen devolution. I listened to the speech of H.E the President this afternoon. I heard that money being given to our gracious ladies, who are our representatives from counties, will get an additional Kshs1 billion to the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). I did not hear anything about the Senate Oversight Fund (SOF). view
