  • 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do profusely apologise. It is not in my character to be late. In fact, I am known for being very punctual and I do appreciate the magnanimity from your Chair to allow me to ask this Question. view
  • 16 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary state the number of citizens who registered for the Huduma Namba in every county? (ii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that citizens are able to collect their Huduma cards in the respective stations where the registration was carried out? view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am really honoured to contribute to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No. 30 of 2021). I understand that this budget-making season is very important for this House. It is premised on the principle that there should be no taxation without representation. This makes this business that we are doing here today very important. I dare say that it is one of the most important businesses that this House transacts. view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I support the Report by the Committee which is chaired by Hon. Kanini Kega. I commend them for the good job that they have done. The County Allocation of Revenue Bill is introduced in accordance with the provisions of Article 218 of the Constitution, which distributes the monies or national cake to the 47 counties equitably. The Senate has already passed this Bill. I know that they are just seeking concurrence with the National Assembly. view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Kanini Kega’s Committee noted two very key things. One is the issue of pending bills. There are people who conducted business with the Nairobi City County. However, they are being auctioned today. They are dying of lifestyle diseases like heart attack and high blood pressure. They have so much pressure because of the monies that have not been paid. This is an important issue that was noted by this Committee. view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The second issue that the Committee noted is that the county debt ceilings were improved on account of personal emoluments and settlement of outstanding bills. That is not why I rose. I did it for the matters that concern Nairobi City County. We debated the annual Budget Estimates this morning which allocated close to Kshs8.9 billion to Nairobi City County. On average, that is Kshs9 billion which is allocated to the Nairobi City County from the national Budget. We are talking about the county allocation of revenue now. Close to Kshs19.2 billion will be pumped into this City. Without even ... view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Nairobi is also in a peculiar situation because we understand that there has been a transfer of critical functions to the Nairobi Metropolitan Services. The legality of this transfer is not a discussion for today, even though I understand that there is a case alive in our courts where the issue of the legality of Nairobi Metropolitan Services is being prosecuted. While it is of national interest that the people of Nairobi receive the services they require, it is also important that, as they are being given those services by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services, it be in line with all ... view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: to be done in a legal way which involves the people of Nairobi City in a way they have a voice as they are taxed. view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: As the transfer of services to Nairobi Metropolitan Services was happening, the guiding principle which should have been followed should have been one that ensures we are able to oversee the monies that are allocated to the Nairobi Metropolitan Services. But as it is now, the framework that was used for the transfer is not fully provided for in the Constitution, which has left the situation in Nairobi to be at best unclear, if not opaque. The deed of transfer of functions did nothing to provide for the disbursement modalities of the monies we shall be sending to the Nairobi ... view
  • 15 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The people of Nairobi see the efforts of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services especially in the CBD. However, there is much more that needs to be done in terms of the sewerage in our estates, feeder roads and in terms of agriculture, which is a devolved function. People do not understand that agriculture is happening in this City. In places like Dagoretti South Constituency, we have very serious farmers doing their work. So, even as we are talking about the successes of NMS, it ought to be in line with the Constitution so that even Kenyans who are investing heavily in ... view
