• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: To do so, we need a good working relationship with the Council of Governors (CoG). Sometimes governors try all their means and we do not get the information. There has to be a mechanism where the Senate gets the information from counties when there is delay of the money. That conversation must continue. That is important so that this House can summon the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for National Treasury and his officers in real-time to ensure that money goes to the counties. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, we need to deal with the question of conditional grants. Conditional grants are cumulatively about Kshs10 billion. They may increase to Kshs20, Kshs30 or even Kshs100 billion. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was talking about the national Government first. view

Why should the national Government give conditional grants to polytechnics when that is directly a county function? I can understand the roads one, because the Roads Levy is levied separate from other taxes. Therefore, it is beneficial to our counties; that over and above the division of revenue processes, we should be able to get this money. Therefore, it is indeed important that we first streamline conditional grants so that they become truly conditional grants.

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: There must be hugs! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one complaint that came from a particular Senator, who I do not wish to disclose--- view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: What I have said is to encourage, because we have been in this House, encouraging the Committee on Health--- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, two of us cannot stand at the same time. If he can sit somewhere there--- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The point I am making is that we have been admonishing the Committee on Health for below par performance, and they have taken this challenge over and over again. I would like to challenge the CPAIC that the expectation of this House is beyond what you think you are doing very well.
