• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Devolution is a game changer. In counties such as where I come from, before devolution we used to say we were going to Kenya. As a result of devolution, despite its pitfalls because it still has a lot of challenges, right now people of northern Kenya feel like they are part of this country. Anybody such as Sen. Nyamunga who is willing to support enhance devolution needs to be supported from where she comes from. I urge the people of County of Kisumu to elect Sen. Nyamunga as their Senator. Imagine Sen. Nyamunga as the Senator of County of Kisumu ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, Rt. (Hon.) Raila Odinga is known as the father of devolution because he fronted the clamour for the new Constitution and by the grace of God he has succeeded. It can only get better if we elect him as the President. The people of the County of Kisumu should favourably consider Sen. Nyamunga since she can do all this work. This is not the only Bill she has done that increases resources for counties I sit in the Committee on Finance and Budget and I know she has done several Bills that enhance revenue collection for counties. ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. What is so interesting in terms of this Bill is the regional blocs suggested by Sen. Nyamunga.

As a result of regional blocs in this Bill, there is going to ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: passed. If I missed it, Sen. Nyamunga will correct me. This is important because unless there are regulations to actualize the Bill, it can never cover everything. We need the regulation to ensure there are penalties and an amount to pay if you do not meet the requirements. It covers a lot of ground compared to the Bill itself. I, therefore, urge Sen. Nyamunga to include an amendment to give a deadline. This should come under the National Treasury and Planning. They need to prepare the regulation. I recommend that it be after six months of this Bill being signed ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, it is a point of information. What I was considering was the timelines that by either six months or within one year. When you do not give deadlines in terms of regulations, people have their own time of doing things. Therefore, within the Bill, we must give timelines. That is what I meant. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
