• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki: Actually, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I needed one minute to conclude but thank you very much for that consideration. I want to summarize by saying, it is important for this House to discuss and expeditiously pass this Bill. That way, the Senate will be seen as being sensitive to the needs of our counties because that is why we are here. The fact that there are certain outstanding issues should not be a bar and I just want to encourage us to give whatever input we can in this Bill and pass it so that our governors and ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is it in order for Sen. Musila to refer to a non-existing constitutional provision; that counties which shall be identified for allocation of the Equalisation Fund shall receive those funds for 20 years when, indeed, the Fund is for 20 years, but every three years, we will review the beneficiaries? view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to inform Sen. Musila that those of us who served in the Taskforce on Devolved Government, including his governor, Dr. Malombe, when we went round, were told that marginalized counties like Kitui, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Turkana, Wajir, Mandera and Tana River have suffered because when there is a disciplinary problem in the Public Service, those who have indiscipline cases are transferred to the marginalized counties. So, I believe that what Sen. Musila is saying is possibly happening in the Public Service. view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. My good friend, Sen. Kagwe, in his very eloquent presentation has consistently used the words “central Government.” Where is this central Government he is referring to? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Whereas Sen. Kagwe has elevated me to a very enviable position where he is equating me to the Constitution, I would like to ask whether it is in order for him to think that when the Constitution talks about the national Government, that is my own creation? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to support this very important Bill. This a very important Bill in terms of operationalization of our counties. It is the first Bill that is being passed by this House in terms of contributing to our responsibility under Article 96; to protect county governments. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: I withdraw, but I have said I have confidence in the Supreme Court. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me put it this way: I have confidence that next year when we will be looking at the Division of Revenue Bill, we shall have the opportunity to give proper allocation to the counties after looking at the costing of functions. These are the things that we want to look at.
