• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: size or the number of people but wisdom prevailed in this House. We divided the money following a formula that all of us developed in order to support our counties. During the debate, when we were all fighting for about Kshs342 billion, we received some information that our money had been increased to Kshs370 billion. So, all of us were excited. Little did we know that all conditional grants were now being calculated as part of the division of revenue for us to get about Kshs370 billion. When we had gone through the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and when we ... view

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: It is interesting and I thank Sen. Sifuna for informing me about this. I have seen that they have also added the Equalization Fund money here, which is good. Once we have the Equalization Funds here, we should legislate on all those Funds as additional allocations. I must say that was ingenious of the National Assembly. They did not want a process where we have back and forth in terms of regulations, even though we passed the regulations on the Equalization Funds. The most important thing about this Bill is that all grants even from World Bank will be factored. ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on Effects of Upstream Activities on the River Tana to the residents of Tana Delta by the distinguished Senator from Tana River County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the residents of Nairobi City County receive 80 per cent of their water from River Tana. In this country, 70 per cent of our hydropower comes from River Tana. I have noted keenly the issues that the distinguished Senator wants addressed. It begs a very big question as to whether KenGen has ever thought of unintended consequences by releasing water. That is ... view

• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senate pronounces itself through Motions and Bills, but no action is taken by the Government. It is about time we pronounce ourselves in this Motion and no action taken by our Government. I hope that both sides of the isle will support, approve and pass this Motion. If we do so, the distinguished Senator for Tana River County can follow up with KenGen in case of any unintended consequences such as deaths. If you search on the internet about the Tana River Irrigation Schemes, you will see a lot of flowery, beautiful language in the ... view

• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: The first question we should ask before we even talk about developing - although I do not have a problem with that - is what it would take to change the land use policy along the river? I believe there are so many studies that have been carried out. When I was growing up, I learnt a lot about communities, for instance the Mijikenda and the importance of the river to their livelihood, their subsistence. I did not hear Sen. Mungatana talk about the cultural activities which these people who live along the river rely on to continue practicing. I ... view
