• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Perhaps it is time, like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr said yesterday, that members of the public took up class action against these kinds of hospitals whether they are private or public. We hope that our courts will be bold enough to take action. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you say “condolences”, it is like they are dead. However, thank you because I get what you are saying. Actually, I lost some of them completely. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. First of all, just to note that this House plays a very important role in both division and allocation of resources. We have a journey that is not complete yet about the sequencing of the Division of Revenue and the Appropriation Bill. Following our remarks yesterday about the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UK), I believe we do not have ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: That has happened before. This is exactly the situation that we faced in the Division of Revenue Bill. We ended up waiting for over two months before making a decision to proceed because in any case, we may not get the decision to invalidate the Appropriation Bill. However, a bolder Judiciary like the Supreme Court of the UK should even be courageous to go ahead and invalidate any law that was passed against the Constitution. We are facing a situation where after making a pragmatic decision in so far as passing the Division of Revenue Bill is concerned, we ended ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, going forward, I strongly believe that Kenyans have now accepted that the jurisdiction of the Senate should be enhanced. That way, we will not have to comb through laws to find out whether a matter concerns counties or not, so that all laws come to the Senate. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Be that as it may, we have the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and now this disbursement schedule is the last stage before our counties can enjoy the resources. We believe that when we converge here tomorrow, we will take that opportunity to vote and pass this Bill so that our counties get money. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my county will get over Kshs4.5 billion. It will have Kshs3.8 billion as sharable revenue. There is also the conditional grant from the national Government which is almost Kshs200 billion and about Kshs350 billion from the Kenya Devolution Support Programme (KDSP). view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I totally agree that by the next financial year, the Committee on Finance and Budget which has been doing exceptionally well--- Being one of the leaders in this House, if there will be ranking of performance of committees, it will be fair for the Committee on Finance and Budget to be ranked among the top performing committees in the House. They have consistently provided leadership. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: During the previous term, they provided leadership on issues such as the disbursement schedule because it never used to be there. It is because of the leadership of the Committee that we had the disbursement schedule because we realised that there was no instrument for us to track the amount that should go to a certain county and at what point. It is the Committee that led us to deal with the division of the money between county executives and county assemblies. There are also many other provisions of the law that we have amended. The electronic version of the ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, based on the leadership that the Committee has provided, there are three things that they need to do. The first one is to streamline transfer of money from the national to county level. Even after we have done the schedule, it is the oversighting duty of the Committee to continue putting the National Treasury to task to ensure that that money is delivered to counties. view
