• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Members, from the bottom of the heart, who contributed and stayed late yesterday. I also want to thank those who are still here and are desirous of contributing in this very important debate. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have noted a few things, of course, from the contributions from the Members. With your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, can I cede two minutes to my good colleagues here? view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: To Janet Nangabo? view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, I am a generous person. The issue of pending bills cannot be over-emphasised. It is an issue that comes every other day and counties are choking with pending bills. There are very many people who have been auctioned and many people who have lost their businesses basically because counties have not paid. The Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning, when he was here, directed that all counties and Government agencies must pay pending bills before 30th June, this month. We want that directive to be adhered to. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: We are now taking Kshs370 billion to counties. In fact, on top of that, we have another Kshs40 billion in conditional grants. We are taking money to counties, but we now want county assemblies to also play their rightful role of making sure that the money goes to the intended purpose. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: In the County Allocation of Revenue Bill that we passed, the money that used to go to the counties as conditional funds for roads, of course, is now together with the sharable revenue, we want to tell the governors that those funds must be used for roads. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I do not want to over-emphasise on ingenuity. Counties must also look for other ways of raising revenues. The defunct county councils used to have funds, but after we transformed to the county governments and get money from the Exchequer, the cess collected is not utilised. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I thank the Members for their contributions and we will make sure that they are put in place. view
• 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. view
• 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I seek your indulgence to relax my mask a little bit because it will take some time. view
