• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: pending bill be a first charge in the subsequent financial year. It is in the law and regulations. What we lack is the goodwill and the moral ability of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of this counties to implement the law in regard to payment of the particular bills that are not payable or not paid at the end of the financial year. It will also be important to understand the causes of the pending bills, so that when solutions are being proposed, they are relevant to the issue. What has come before our Committee is that some governors have ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am doing both because I know that you will not give me an opportunity to talk again. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude by saying that we will be willing to share information with the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget.

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I want to remind the Members of this House that some time back, in the year 2017, Kenyans woke up very early to elect us, as their representatives.

We borrow money to increase our working capital for us to do business. We borrow money or restructure debts for us to create capital by expanding the period by which we are supposed to retire those debts for us to meet the immediate business needs so as to have a healthy environment to do business. This Motion is coming at a time when everyone in this country is ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope with that extension you will give me more time. I was saying that, with the power given to us by the people of Kenya, it would be an act of irresponsibility on our part as elected leaders to vote blindly on a Motion that seeks to expand the debt limit without first interrogating and getting convinced that the money we are seeking to borrow will go to the right place. We also need to establish where we are in terms of cash flow projections, whether this country has enough money to pay for ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: I may want to remind everyone that when you look at the provisions of Article 203, before the equitable share is agreed on, the first charge on our locally raised revenues is public debt. Therefore, with the kind of pull and push that we had, just the other day with the Division of Revenue Act, it tells you that if we were to blindly give this clearance, I am sure that next year we will get our counties into deeper problems. It will not be possible for us to get the Kshs316.5 billion that we were able to raise next ... view
