• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The reason I am totally opposed to this Bill – I do not mince words because I oppose it with or without amendments – is that the issue of planning and most budgeting- -- The main purpose of this Bill in its objectives is financial budgeting in the county. I am not ready as a Member of the National Assembly to be drawn to boardrooms to do financial budgeting at the governor’s office. This is an assignment or a responsibility of the governor and his county executive committee. If you look at the national level, we are part of the ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Look at Clause 2, it talks about the functions of this Board: “(a) To provide a forum at the county level for consultation between the national Government and the county government.” This is already provided for. Consultation between the national Government and the county government is through the Act concerning intergovernmental relations. You have seen the Council of Governors sitting down with the President and the Deputy President on quarterly basis. It is at that level that the consultation between the national and the county government is done. Actually, my view is that--- view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, protect me from my good friend, hon. Mbadi. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The Executive, both at the national and county level already have a forum for consultation. Maybe we should think of the legislature both at the county and national levels in terms of a forum on which we should be consulting. This is what is lacking, that is, the framework for consultation between the national legislature and the county legislature. I am, however, very sure that for the Executive levels, both national and county, the law is there for consultation. I have been reading Sub -clause (b) and hon. Members need to take note of this: “Coordinate and harmonize county development ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, (g) says: “Perform any other function related to the mandate of the Board.” view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would wish--- view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. I also want to thank the Mover of this Bill, hon. Lelelit, for this noble idea of trying to end marginalization in this country. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I will be very brief. I will talk specifically about Article 204. The way it is now, the Equalisation Fund is meant to go through the counties. Some of us said from the beginning that if we are not very careful, counties can even be a source of more marginalization. I heard hon. Elmi, while contributing, talk about internal marginalization. But if we use the current model or the way Article 204 of the Constitution is, counties are being generalized. Some of the counties will not get or benefit from this Fund because they are being generalized. If you take, ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I think it is a noble idea to use the constituencies which are the smallest or basic unit of devolution in this country. Constituencies should be the parameter to be used on deciding which areas should benefit from the Equalisation Fund. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you look at counties like Kajiado, Nyeri and Machakos, you will find that some areas of those counties are being classified as ASAL areas. However, if you use the current Constitution, they will not benefit from the Equalisation Fund and yet, they fall under ASAL areas. The ASAL areas are the ones which year in, year out, depend on relief food. This is the case and yet, you deny them the benefit of the Equalisation Fund because you have talked generally as a county. If you take the county parameter, it comes to the institution or ... view
