• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: looking at pumping money into these areas as a way of building sustainability in the long-term for our country. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: The amounts we are speaking about here will not change this country. This is tokens and peanuts. This is a waste of time. I dare say, if you want to turn around this country, you must focus serious amounts of money deliberately to build infrastructure and the productive sectors in these marginalised areas for a period not less than 30 years and with amounts not less than Kshs20 billion per county going directly into development projects. Sending small amounts of money to sub locations will only act as palliative care to a very serious and entrenched disease. As you know, ... view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: I dare say that it is good now we are going to have project identification and implementation committees as recommended by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) in its 2018 Second Marginalisation Policy. The role of county governments has also been highlighted and brought on board which is positive and the need also to deal with stalled projects. Some of the projects initiated using this fund have already stalled. There is no need of even having new projects if the old ones have not been completed. view

• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, yes, I am willing to be informed. view
• 28 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you. Thank you, Sen. Olekina, for that information. Thank you for concurring that indeed the focus to areas within counties is more accurate. I will just reiterate what I said earlier that the amounts that are proposed are minimal and they will have zero effects even if we do it for the next 50 years. We need to pump money where in a particular county you identify areas which are marginalised in that county and allocate Kshs20 billion for development of infrastructure and the productive sectors in that county consistently for about 20 to 30 ... view
