• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Two, it is also unfair to the Members. Maybe, the Members were signing in respect to a certain ground then when they come here when the matter is being discussed, they find that the grounds have been changed and the original content has been changed. Most importantly, they find additional grounds which were not there when they were appending their signatures. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I seek your guidance and pray that, if, indeed, it is proved that there have been some changes, then you have this matter declared--- In short, you throw out this Motion. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to oppose this Motion. The reason I am opposing is one: when you look at the Constitution and the article that gives a Member the right to bring this kind of Motion, it talks of “gross violation of the Constitution.” When you look at the particulars provided by the Member moving this Motion, there is no evidence that, indeed, there has been gross violation of the Constitution by Prof. Kaimenyi. The issues relating to Budget, in my opinion, cannot be attributed to Prof. Kaimenyi. A good example is the issue concerning the under capitation ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one thing that I have noticed from this Bill is that it does not capture the formula. view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill does not denote the formula that is going to be used to give the various counties money. I have looked at the power which is donated by the Constitution to the CRA which includes advising and recommending on how that money will be divided amongst the counties. This means that it is not the work of the CRA to decide what each county gets. The entity which decides who gets what money is Parliament namely, the National Assembly and the Senate. Therefore, that formula, in my estimation should be provided in this Bill. We ... view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have looked at it. That formula only sets out the parameters. For instance, it talks about fiscal responsibility, but it does not give it weight. For instance in population, it does not say what weight is going to be attached to it. view

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to the best of my understanding, the best course of action would have been for the CRA to propose the criteria, for instance, in terms of population, land or geographical area and allocate the amount each should get. It should then recommend to the Senate and the Senate comes up with the final formula. That formula should be provided as a Schedule in this Bill and it is for us to discuss that. This has major implications. I have done calculations which show that, indeed, the way we have been giving money to the respective counties ... view
