• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Are they reaching the KRA? Are these taxes going back to the nation so that they eventually serve the nation? There is need for transparency in the manner in which these taxes are collected. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also agree with the clause that says that there is need for technical capacity from the national Treasury and the KRA in counties. Personnel in counties should know how to collect and account for taxes. They should also be transparent and accountable in the collection of taxes. If this knowledge is not there, taxmen will do what the Senator for Migori County ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Some development which is supposed to have been done by some county governments has not been done. An example is the building of Early Childhood Development (ECD) classrooms, which have not been set up in some places. There is the case that the Senator for Kakamega County was talking about, where in some health centres, patients share beds while others lie on the floor. Mark you, this is in a county that collects revenue and where people are keen in serving and delivering to Kenyans. That should not arise, because the money collected can be used for that purpose. County ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Therefore, it is a good thing that everyone is aware of what is happening in the county. Even the revenue collection should be a simple procedure such that anyone looking at how the revenue has been collected can understand. It should not be abstract; that you cannot even understand how the revenue was collected and utilized. If it is simple and accountable, everyone will be happy about the revenue collection and utilization. view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also agree with what Sen (Dr.) Zani is proposing in this amendment, that the reports should be tabled before the county assembly. That way, the county assembly will be aware of the revenue that has been collected and how it has been utilized. If the county assembly is involved, then we will have empowered it. It will be possible for oversight to be done in a transparent way. Therefore, there will be no need for the governors to come and answer before the Senate on how they used the money. I also support what the Bill ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: is happening in the counties; how much was been collected and how the money has been utilized. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this amendment. In fact, it should take effect as soon as it has been accepted. It should be operational for the purpose of accountability and ensuring that we are delivering services and deliverables to counties. We have to defend counties and devolution. We are mandated to do that, as the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support this amendment. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was waiting for your permission before I stand up. I commend Sen. Kasanga for coming up with this Motion. In fact, it is timely because it has come at a time when we are changing from the existing curriculum to a new one. This Motion is handy because a lot of research has to be done. We all know that research is important. I support this Motion because when it comes to innovations, the needs of the society and what we need as a country, it is research that can give us an eye-opener, make us ... view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: pertains. That has to do with giving back to the communities, the society and the country in terms of research and knowledge. There is need for adequate money to be allocated to our universities for purposes of funding research. I say this from an empirical point of view because I was a lecturer in a university and I know that the core mandate of universities is to teach. What is happening in the universities should not be happening. At the moment, our universities do not have enough lecturers to teach. Before you do research, you have to go through some ... view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, apart from teaching, universities are mandated to carry out research. Research is something continuous and not static. It is meant to solve a problem in a community or an organisation. It is through research that we can know exactly what is happening and the gaps, so that they can be filled. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: When universities are funded adequately, it is possible to have enough personnel to help mentor students and impart the knowledge they have so that we have enough researchers. It is at the university level that one gets the beauty of teaching because they can read anything without being stopped. The more people read, the more they can research about anything in any place in the world. Therefore, it is important for the Government to ensure that money is allocated to universities and other higher levels of learning like colleges to ensure that we solve the problems that we have as ... view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: I remember I attended a workshop on special needs. During a certain presentation, somebody quoted G. M. Inimah who had done a research on special needs. I told the person that I was the G. M. Inimah. They were quoting from a research that I did in 2003 about special needs education. view
