• 11 Jun 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill on allocation of monies to counties. As I support this Bill, we urge our counties, that the Senate having worked very hard to increase the allocation from the proposed Kshs391 to Kshs400 billion mark, expect our counties to be diligent in the utilisation of these resources. My own county of Uasin Gishu will have additional funds of over Kshs300 million. I expect that the County Government of Uasin Gishu will ensure that the VTCs that are on the verge of being closed, with only one out of ... view
• 11 Jun 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is incumbent upon this House to make sure that our counties utilise resources well and also take action on governors who, after allocating all these resources, dare not appear before Senate Standing Committees whenever they are required or requested to do so. Anybody who has agreed to receive public resources must be ready to accept to account for those resources on an equal measure as required by the law. As the Senate, we must also check on utilisation of the money. I urge that as we start the next session of the House, committees of this ... view

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the onset, I support the proposals for amendments to this Bill, however, with a number of concerns. This Bill sets out to correct or remedy our current situation as a country. A number of constituencies and wards in our country have been without representation for more than a year because the electoral body has been absent. The amendments that have been brought and discussed under the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) are good, but we have areas of concern. I have read through this Bill, and my ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: "The National Assembly shall, within fourteen days of the tabling of the revised preliminary report, consider the report and forward its recommendations to the Commission." view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: We know how Parliament operates, that period is too short to allow for conversations along the report that has been submitted. The issue of delimitation of boundaries is a very emotive issue that accompanies the sharing of resources. It is an issue that determines how a regional area will be administered. There is need to provide sufficient time for Parliament to have a conversation so that the report can be adopted. Otherwise, there could be a situation where the tabling, adoption and debating of the report is not prioritized and seven days lapses then the electoral body’s decisions and recommendations ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: I have looked at the Fifth Schedule at Section 7(3) – view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: “Representations to the Commission may be made orally or in writing.” view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: This talks about public hearings and in these public hearings, the electoral body would be required to organize public hearings in counties and sub-counties for members of the public to make their submissions. Madam Temporary Speaker, Section 3 of that says that representation to the Commission may be made orally or in writing. I propose that even where submissions have been made in writing, the electoral body must read out that memorandum during that public hearing so that all the concerned stakeholders in that county, sub-county or constituency will know what has been submitted by the various stakeholders. There has ... view
