14 Sep 2021 in Senate:
From experience of what we have bene seeing in this country, if we create these kind of funds, they might be subject to other abuses which will not meet the intended purpose. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support the Committee’s decision to reject these regulations. Instead, we urge the National Treasury to concentrate on how to come up with a budget that we can sustainably fund. They should see how we can make sure that we only budget for what we can sustain with our own funding, and see how we are going to manage the debt which we have dug ...

8 Sep 2021 in Senate:
Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support this Petition. This is a noble idea and a fund that is supposed to assist our vulnerable members of the society. As has already been said, there is a problem with the way the fund is being disbursed starting even with the targeting. There are issues of who identifies these vulnerable persons in the community in terms of the elderly, PWDs and orphans. Deserving people are left out by whoever is doing the identification. There must be a very clear way of doing that identification.

Once identified, as the Petition has raised, the mode of disbursement--- For example, using KCB in my county, there are only two branches in Marsabit and Moyale. We have centres as far as 500 to 600 kilometres from those branches. Somebody in Ileret who has been identified to benefit has to travel those kilometres to get that money. It does not cover the transport to that place. We have advancement in technology where Kenyans have taken up the use of mobile money transfer. Why is it not being used, yet that is the easiest way to reach Kenyans? Nowadays, network ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving an opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the adoption of the Disbursement Schedule by the Senate. One of the main functions of the Senate is protection of counties and their governments. The most important things in devolution are resources. If you look at the history of this country when we had the first regional governments, they were wound up for being denied resources. So, when counties go for two months without funds, then we have to be very careful because we might be going down the same road. Somebody who does not ...
