• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill, which establishes systems for counties to collect information and statistical information to guide them in planning is very important. With clear and credible statistical information, it will be easier for our counties to plan well and target development interventions. At the moment, governors and county executive committee members are finding it difficult to distribute development resources because there is no credible statistical information to guide them in terms of how much to allocate to sectors like water. They end up distributing resources equally to each sector among the various wards in the counties when in the real sense, ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill provides a clear framework for collaboration and co-ordination between the County Statistics Office and the KNBS. Therefore, once this Bill becomes law and the offices of county statisticians become operational, counties will invest in collection of statistical information which will then feed into the national data. We will even end up with a very good system at the national level where we can access all the information that we require for planning, whether it is for the NG-CDF or other national Government agencies. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I would like to support this Bill as it will help us make our planning system to be more systematic and focused. Thank you very much. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the adoption of this Report. I would like to begin by thanking the Committee for a job well done. It is one of the best reports that I have seen since I joined this august House. It is well organised, 84-page Report with 12 chapters. It is clearly organised in terms of summary of submissions, observation of the Committee and recommendations. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I sit in the Committee on Implementation and we have challenges most of the times when we make follow ups on how the various Government agencies implement recommendations of the various committees. This is one of the reports where the recommendations are actionable. I come from one of the counties which have been highlighted as underserved counties in terms of not having adequate telecommunication infrastructure. Isiolo County is one of them. To be precise, it is only 8 per cent of my county which has mobile service coverage. This is different from other parts of the country where the dominant ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to appreciate the recommendations in terms of how that should be addressed. The Committee recommends that the Communication Authority of Kenya should use the Universal Service Fund to establish base transceiver stations. It is only the county headquarters and the sub county headquarters which have these stations in my county. This has impacted negatively in access to basic services like health. Health referrals are not effective because most of the health facilities are located in places where the medics cannot communicate to the next level of referral. For example, if a medic is in charge of a ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: communicate to health centres. If there is need for an ambulance for referrals, this will not happen in an effective way. It also impacts on security. When incidences happen, it takes sometimes a whole day or two days for them to reach police stations. It also impacts on disbursement of cash transfers which is done by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. Therefore, I would like to appreciate the recommendations in terms of how we can ensure that the disadvantaged counties, which have low coverage of telecommunication infrastructure can have these services, so that they can catch up with ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I have looked at the final recommendation. There is a recommendation to amend the law. It is important for the Committee to fast-track it, so that if there are gaps in existing regulations, which are tying the hands of the CA, we can seal them through appropriate subsidiary legislation or amendments to the various Acts, namely, the Competition Act and the Kenya Information and Communication Act. We can then task the CA to help us reduce the cost of calls, SMS and data, and ensure that through provincial investments in additional infrastructure, the disadvantaged counties can be integrated with the ... view
