• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Khaniri for bringing up this issue. For the better part of last year, counties have suffered because of this populist agenda which is being pursued by the national Treasury. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 6(2) of the Constitution states that- “The Governments at the national and county levels are distinct and inter- dependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on basis of consultations and cooperation.” It is the responsibility of the national Government to collect taxes.

• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: cannot be given money because they have pending bills. So, what they are supposed to do? Does the national Treasury expect the residents of Marsabit County to raise funds to pay the pending bills? The net effect is that people are suffering because they are not getting services. This is because of these kind of measures which are not properly thought out. Let the national Treasury stick to its limit and release all the funds to the counties. Let us develop modalities of making sure that the pending bills are cleared by coming up with ways, through this Senate, instead ... view
