Mr. Speaker, Sir, I might not be a learned friend, but I am well- educated. When Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said that the courts suspended the operations of the court until the matter is heard and determined, that means that the matter is live in court. Therefore, I do not know any other understanding than the fact that this matter is live in court from his submissions. I thank you.

Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda kwa nafasi uliyonipa kuchangia kwenye Kauli ambazo zimesomwa na Maseneta tofauti. Ya kwanza ni Kauli ya Sen. Ogola ambayo aliuliza Kamati ya Leba na Ustawi wa Jamii kuhusu yanayotukia Kakuma Ranch. Wananchi wanahamasishwa kuendeleza usagaji na ushoga.

ambao wanashawishi wakenya kufanya ushoga. Kamati hii yafaa ifanye kazi nzuri kwa sababu swala la ushoga ni la kipepo. Korti zetu hazijasaidia kutatua hili swala kwani wamepitisha rulings ambazo zinasema kuwa ni haki ya mashoga na wasagaji kuwa na vyama vya ushirika. Ya pili ni Kauli ambayo imetolewa na Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, kuhusu viwanja vitakavyo tumiwa wakati wa Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON), 2027. Lazima kuwe na uwazi wa mbinu na vigezo ambazo zitatumika kuangalia viwanja vitakavyo tumika, kama kuna manufaa yoyote kama vile sports tourism, wakenya wote wafaidike. Nimeona kwenye vyombo vya habari kuwa kuna kiwanja kitakachojengwa kitakachokuwa na uwezo ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. This is the best way of dispensing with county additional allocations because previously, conditional grants were appropriated through the National Assembly.

We also have money for conditional allocations to country governments from mineral royalties totalling Kshs51.7 million, cash that was not there in the past. We would like to laud the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining for making it possible for counties to share ...

three. So, you must place adequate infrastructure to oversight the way these funds are used. I would like to say that the problem is the MCAs because the structure is not okay to oversight the county assembly and they have been crying that they want to be made autonomous. So, when the county executive is implementing the projects, but then there are no reports coming to the county assembly in good time, for example, the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) stipulates that, “every three months there should be reports from the county executive to the county assembly.” When these reports ...

ensuring that we have the royalties paid, then we would have had adequate money in terms of mineral royalties. The money that is captured here and I might not be very far from the truth, is the money from the iron ore because the good thing with iron ore is that before you get the export licence, you should have already paid the royalties to Government. Nevertheless, the expensive minerals that are being extracted from Taita Taveta are the green garnet, the rubies of this world where people are getting billions. However, because of their nature, they are very small ...
