• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Sen. G. G. Kariuki has mentioned a very important issue that not only touches on county governments, himself as a person, but all of us as Parliament. That is, the National Assembly and the Senate. This also affects county assemblies. I want to say from the onset, as the Temporary Speaker here, that the Senate has been very co-operative with the media and we will continue to do so.

But I began my contribution by saying that the things that the Mover of this Motion is citing are constitutional and legal issues. We have not debated about that, but we have also to contextualize things. That is why I said that in terms of political parties getting money, we are agreed. In terms of who is responsible, we are not agreed, because I think that it is the national Treasury. Thirdly, in terms of how that money should come, we believe ... view

All I am saying is that we are urging the political parties who will benefit from the funding, first of all, to look for money elsewhere and also to use this money for the right objectives.
