• 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: 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.
