• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have been in the 11th and 12th Parliament. I have been in this House when Duale I, Duale II, Duale III and Duale IV were shot down. I want to challenge the Member for Kiminini that he either withdraws his assertions that I was in New York - yes, I have been in New York - but I have never been in New York at a time when this House is voting on a critical matter as the two-third gender rule. I have been here every time. So, Hon. Speaker, for the sake of my good name, ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My apologies. I was actually passing near the other Member. That is when your eye caught me. That is when I was passing. So, I did not intend in any way to violate the Covid-19 rules. I am law abiding. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On the matter of Hon. Makali, I will just move over and have a conversation with him so that I can have a good idea and I will definitely come back with feedback. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In replying, I would like to thank very much the many Members who have risen in support of this Bill and for their kind words. They have also pointed out so many gaps within our health systems and in the treatment of cancer. Members have given examples of personal losses. Others have given examples of how broken the system is in their own constituencies. We need to continue coming up with legislation and proposals to better the treatment of cancer and the health system. We have also talked about alternative medicine. I ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No. 3 of 2019 which was published on 15th April 2019 and passed by the Senate with amendments on 23rd October 2019. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to thank Senator Zani who is also the Deputy Secretary-General of my party for this very important Bill. This Bill could not have been timelier because it deals with structuring and collection of revenue by counties. Eight years now since the beginning of devolution, we have not structured collection of revenue. Today the Senate is debating the revenue sharing formula. However, the focus still remains on revenue that is coming from the national Government to the counties. There is no focus on own source revenue by the counties. How are they collecting and spending it? ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: What this Bill seeks to deal with is the issue of how counties collet revenue. This Bill proposes thus: “The Cabinet Secretary shall in consultation with the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) develop a uniform County Revenue Collection System (CRCS). Every county shall adopt and implement the CRCS developed under subsection 1 having regard to their particular needs. More importantly, the County Executive Member (CEC) for Finance shall ensure that the CRCS is transparent, efficient, effective, verifiable, easy and simple to use, is properly managed and controlled to ensure ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this could not be timelier because right now as we were debating sharing of revenue, the counties would also be saying this is what we are bringing to the table as our own source collection and this is what we want our national Government to give us. The stories of how revenue is collected within the counties is a disastrous story. You hear stories of people collecting money from the women in the markets and parking lots, they then sit somewhere in some counties and physically share it and declaring none of it. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, just for the record, this Bill is developed in line with Section 12 (e) of the Public Finance Management Act which mandates the National Treasury to design and prescribe an efficient financial system for the national and county governments to ensure transparent financial management and standard financial reporting. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, county governments have specific reasons for levying charges. However, there are majorly six streams that are levied by the counties. These are property taxes, business permits, building permits, parking fees, outdoor advertisements and liquor licences. It is important to highlight that property tax in particular should be the focus of county governments. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
