• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Report. I want to thank Sen. M. Kajwang’ for doing an amazing job. I sat through a session yesterday and I was impressed with how he handled those issues. I have recommendations that I believe can make a difference in terms of how we move forward to ensure that we have more accountability in the counties. I know that view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: there is legislation on internal audit within counties but the counties are not implementing that legislation. Having internal auditors in the counties is not good enough. We should have a committee that is independent of the governor to look at the reports produced by the county government. That committee can take their report to the Members of the County Assembly or they can even work with the Auditor General. In accounting standards, auditors can rely on the report of the internal auditors. The Controller of Budget should play a greater role as compared to what she is doing at the ... view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to second. I thank my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, for picking this topic. I ended up seconding her because I was also thinking of the same Motion. When I went to the Director, they told me that she was doing the same thing, and I approached her in order to contribute to this issue. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: First of all, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, people are recruited within the counties. I am talking about the counties like mine, which did not inherit a huge wage bill. They then County Council had not employed so many people. Therefore, some counties were blessed to have inherited less staff. However, the governors then came and recruited more staff. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are certain criteria required by law in terms of selecting for the appointment by the County Public Service Board (CPSC). These include the standards, values and principles of a candidate as set out in Articles 10, 27, ... view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: moment. That is because they have competent people who can do this analysis but they are ignored. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: We can understand the governors who found the defunct county governments and inherited a big wage bill but what about those who inherited a clean bill? There are some counties that were at the 35 per cent threshold with the previous governors, but things have now changed. In Turkana, Siaya and Makueni counties, the governors have not changed but their wage bill has increased by 10 per cent and above. Some new governors have taken their counties to a different level though they have not reduced drastically. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a Swahili saying that goes; kidogo kidogo view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: which means that one just needs to take a little step but in the end, they will see a difference in the counties. Tharaka Nithi County has reduced its wage bill by 3.7 per cent. That percentage is small, but the Governor is willing to do something about it. If he continues reducing the wage bill at the same rate, he will reduce the wage bill by 15 per cent in the next five years. His percentage was at 60 per cent, but he reduced it to 3.7 per cent. At the end of his term, this Governor will have ... view
