• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: meaning that there is no way one brain can determine everything. Article 179 of the Constitution vests executive authority in an executive committee which is the county governor, the deputy governor and 10 County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) who are not Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). This is all from the governor’s side. It is the governor who determines who can dance to his tune so that they are appointed as the CECM of a certain department. If they sit down, develop CIDP and from it an ADP, what tells you that the decision will be one that considers ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the current amendment into Section 47 of the County Governments Act, in terms of submitting an Annual Performance Report (APR), does not have timelines. It only says, “submit it to the County Assembly”. I would like to beseech and request Sen. M. Kajwang’ to further amend that. While submitting, he indicated that he would want the county governor to submit the report concurrently to their assembly and the Senate. view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: I see a problem there. The problem is premised on what has been happening when we try to question conditional grants. We know very well that the Senate does not oversight own source revenue. If this annual performance report is a commingle of funds both from the National Government and own source revenue, will there not be questions or issues when it comes to the Senate over sighting or the Senate looking at that report? view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: I appeal to Sen. M. Kajwang’ and his Committee to further amend this Section 47 of the County Governments Act and set it up and say “we will submit an APR”. For example, if Narok County Assembly had allocated about Kshs3 million for building and abattoir in Naroswa, within three months after that APR has gone, we do not want a situation where there is no timeline as to when we can be told that was actually done. view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would want them to amend that Section further, to require that this annual performance Report is submitted to the assembly first. The assembly becomes the first point of oversight and examine that Report because they are the ones who pass the budget. Let them look at it and say the report on the annual performance report said we build this. After checking, let the county assembly come up with a report and submit it to the Senate. I am arguing like that because we know that the county assembly cannot question the governor. In fact, ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: bring proper accountability of resources in this country or make sense, let it go through that step of the assembly first. From the assembly, let us have a report. Thereafter, we, in this House can now question the governor on this APR. view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am also quite intrigued by the proposal to change this County Leaders Forum (CLF), from what the Senator for Nandi County – now the Governor – had in mind. You are bringing elected leaders together. The same people who elect a Senator and a Women Representative elect a governor. You are bringing Members of the National Assembly all together to sit down. I love the fact that the governor, who is the boss of the county government, is given the mantle to become the chair. Since the Senate is the one who pushes money to ... view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: I would like to beseech all Senators to make time away from their busy campaign schedule and come here and make laws that will help us improve the standards of living of our people. The only way to do this is for us leaders to sit together in this Forum, share view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: ideas and be accountable to our people. The culture of corruption in this country is fueled by such--- When you try to refuse--- What is the word to use? I will remember it. view
• 16 Nov 2021 in Senate: Let me summarise it this way; the culture of corruption is mostly fueled by us seeing thinking that people are meddling into our affairs thus try to resist change. The culture of corruption is fueled by resistance to change and being accommodative to a bigger think tank. The amendment to this Act is creating a think tank to propel development in our counties. view
