• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Linturi is seated next to me, but I have a totally contrary opinion from that Statement. We are living at a time, in our country, where majority of Kenyans are struggling even to just eke out a living. Where those projects have started, let them be completed. But leadership in this time and day in our country--- The other day, I saw in Kenyatta National Teaching and Referral Hospital as case where a family lost a member because of Kshs1,950. We are talking about schools. I saw a school in Kinango, where children do not ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget because he has been working overtime over the past few days to try and deal with this matter. We are in an awkward place as a country. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: I was going through Part 1 of Chapter Twelve of the Constitution on Principles and Framework of Public Finance as well as chapters on devolution. The provisions of devolution and the subsequent laws such as the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and related Acts of Parliament were not to create a situation where you would have one level of government disadvantaged in such a situation. view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: It has been eloquently prosecuted in this House that the frame of mind that the money that goes to the counties is money that comes from the national Government is debunked. In true essence of Chapter Twelve, the Division of Revenue Bill is what sets aside some money to go to the national level and some to the counties. It should not be the national Government giving the counties money. With that in mind and knowing very well that the matter is in the court because of the County Appropriation Act, which many of us feel it was not founded ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: grind to a halt. There are doctors, nurses and county government workers who have to go and explain where rent and school fees for their children will come from. We should accept that the law exists. However, law was made for man and not man for the law. We should allow that version based on a percentage of the last Division of Revenue Act (DORA) and a percentage of the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) that was applied last year. If we take that approach, our counties will be able to survive within the next two weeks. With the ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: I said it is a version of vote on account based on what had gone to the lower level. If you look at South Africa and India, which are countries with similar framework of fiscal decentralisation, once that determination has not been made, the last amount that went to the counties, in their cases the provinces, and using the percentage of the amount they got, they can be given the leeway to withdraw the money. The CoB can be allowed to support that expenditure in the intervening period, where a time limit of two to three months is put as ... view
