• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The National Treasury should fix the dates of when the counties will receive this money after the passage of the Division of Revenue Bill. The counties should know the dates they will be receiving this money. In South Africa, the provinces know that on certain dates, they will receive the money so that they can plan. We would also like the Government to check the sustainability of all these The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: counties. Are they viable? Are they spending the money according to the way the needs have been distributed? I would like the money left not to be misused especially in the parastatals. The Government has no business engaging in business ventures such as Uchumi and the Kenya Meat Commission. It should strictly offer an environment for businessmen to engage in business. Lastly, I would also like the country to check the productivity of those counties before the common formula, which should be dynamic, is used. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Why should they restrict the Board to meet 12 times? Suppose they have a critical issue? view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I wanted to contribute. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose this insertion. Since it is a new insertion in the clause, why should we restrict the operation of the Board? Supposing they have a critical issue they want to solve? If the Board meets once a month, it might not have an impact in the organisation. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this good Motion. I want to be among the few Members who oppose the Motion. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I oppose the Motion because of the main idea behind it. The main idea is that the author of this Motion wanted decentralisation of registration of IDs and now passports. That even makes it worse. In the morning, I had intended to support my colleague when we met in church, but when you consider the technicality of the Motion, it is not in good faith. If registration and issuance will be done at the county, what is happening in the county may affect the issuance of IDs. Identity Cards and passports are documents that are highly respected internationally. If, for ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Suppose a county wants to remain isolated and then you give it the autonomy to issue IDs, what will happen? There are those documents that have to be issued nationally. If we want to remain united as a country, there are those functions that have to remain with the national Government and be centralised. One of them is documentation. In this country, issuance of IDs is one thing that we have done right. It is only the process that is not very effective. If you talk of decentralising and taking the function to the county, are you not aware of view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: which is a national issue? view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Then the title of the Motion will change. If you want an ID, you go to the chief. Registration is done at that point. I thought Chris Wamalwa wanted everything to be issued at the county level such that IDs are produced at that particular point and then issued there. That is the content. Otherwise, that document will not be respected in various areas. For example, if you are issued with an ID from your county, will it be respected by the Nairobi County Government when it comes to transacting business? view
