• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you. In the budget-making process of Financial Years 2024/2025 by our county governments, the CoB should ensure that all county government budgets for all pending bills have been verified and ascertained because they are due for payment to the suppliers and contractors in counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second matter on the Motion is misappropriation of funds, where funds have been requested for payments to particular services or contractors. However, when funds hit the county accounts, they are diverted to pay for other services that had not been requested for and approved by the CoB. In this Motion, ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: I do not understand how new projects that did not have budgets in the first place, crop up in the middle of the financial year. This is re-budgeting within a budget without approval and public participation, therefore, creating wastage in terms of stalled projects and ballooning the pending bills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that the CoB must be keen on and I think this House must review in terms of the formula for allocation of resources, is the requirement for increase of own source revenue. Majority of counties are not being honest in the capacity and resources ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when these young innovators come with their platforms where they are able to do business with the Government, it cannot be then that county governments or government agencies are the ones killing innovation by not paying for services rendered by the young people. That will be negating on what the Government is doing in ensuring that our young people take advantage of the digital space and economy to innovate further and earn themselves decent livelihoods. I, therefore, agree with my colleagues that the CoB is in a better position to ensure that there is prudence and ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I am also uncomfortable with that Clause 9A. You know the board chair will be sitting in Nairobi. Farmers will have difficulty in accessing the boards to give their approval. I do not know the wording that can be amended whereas it is important to make sure that there is a bit of control. However, for them to apply to the board, it will take ages and they will extremely suffer. I do not have a problem with the explanations that have been given on the zoning, but on this restriction. Why would ... view
