• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Samahani. Taja tu hizo kauli. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Asante sana kwa kuwa na ari na motisha ya kuwafanyia Wakenya kazi. Sasa hivi nampa nafasi Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Ardhi, Mazingira na Mali Asili. Sen. Mwangi, nakuomba uchukue kama dakika nne. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Asante sana, Bi. Naibu Spika. Nasimama kuunga mkono ripoti hii. Tumeona kwamba watabibu mara nyingi wanazembea kazini. Siku hizi mambo ya afya wanaangazia zaidi sana mambo ya fulusi. Wakati mwengine, inawezekana kwamba si watu wote ambao wana bima za afya na iwe bado idhini kutolewa kutumiwa wakati mtu amefika hospitalini. Hili swala halijawaadhiri tu wananchi wa kawaida. Hata hapa katika Bunge tumeona viongozi wakiwa ziara za nchi za kigeni wakikosa kupata huduma mwafaka kwa sababu hawawezi kugharimia matibabu wakizingizia kwamba idhini hazijapatikana. Juzi kulikuwa na kesi ya mama mmoja aliyepata mtoto nje ya Hopistali ya Pumwani bila kusaidiwa na wauguzi. ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to speak on the Equalization Fund Bill. From the onset, I am very surprised about the way in which this Bill is drafted because we had a similar attempt in the Eleventh Parliament that I was very proud to have defeated it where monies from the Equalization Fund were supposed to be allocated to the Constituency Development Fund(CDF) which at that time had not been converted into the National Government Constituency Development Fund(NG- CDF). view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: The Bill required a two-thirds majority to pass. One of the reason we defeated it was that Members of the National Assembly who would have benefited were bragging that they had an extra kitty. I remember one of my colleagues then saying that he was going to have Kshs300 million extra. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: This Bill is drafted as another CDF. Looking at the composition of the Board at the national level, it mimics the national Government Board and also the constituency committees. When you go further to the definitions of the areas of application, it is very domiciled in certain jurisdictions. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: There was an understanding in the drafting of the Constitution that there were about 14 marginalized counties. The Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) tended to interpret these to mean sub location level. In my opinion, I beg to differ on that much as we are sharing the pie. This is because it would end up decimating the macro-effect of resources so allocated for purposes of equalizing communities that hitherto have not benefitted from the largesse that is Government. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: One can see in the definition of terms the import of who are traditional communities, marginalized communities and all of that. I like that definition because it locates the problem where it is. I have a problem though with the location of the application at the constituency level. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, from a cursory look, if we were to get a half of our ordinarily revenue and situate it at about Ksh1.5 trillion, we would end up with slightly above Kshs22.5 billion. That is the amount of money this Equalization Fund should accrue if we were to go by the revenue collected in the last or so years. It is always over projected, but I am optimistic that get about 15 per cent of our National Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in terms of our ordinary sharable revenue. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: This is a humongous amount of money if well utilized because if you were to compare the rival kitty that is CDF, it is about Kshs35 billion the last time I checked.
