• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the economy is hurting. We also need to realize that the police are humans. So, when we give instructions for implementation of the curfew, rules and regulations, we need to be sober enough. I call upon the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to think about the welfare, of not only the police, but of Kenyans. On the issue of pubs, if we allow them to close at 9.a.m, let it be uniform. So, my plea to the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations is that when they are giving responses to Sen. Kwamboka, ... view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I must admit that you caught me unaware and I am not fully ready but let me give the few points that I wanted to give. view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: That would be really good. view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker for allowing me to compose my few words. I rise to support the Report by the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation in terms of their findings with regard to setting up of a sinking fund in this country. Sometimes I ask myself whether what is written on paper can become practical in this country. Looking at the current devolved government structure, many of the county governments are complaining that employees and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) have not been paid. Up to last week, most counties were not sure of when they would ever get ... view
• 14 Sep 2021 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: National Treasury should be telling that because they do not have a lot of money they want to work with CBK such that they can negotiate on either current or future loans and can restructure their loans. Last year, when we were having the debate on the debt ceiling, the National Treasury gave the reason they wanted to increase the debt ceiling. They told us they were doing so to restructure their loans. Today, they are telling us that they are doing so well such that they have paid everyone, sent money to county governments on time and now they ... view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am requesting the National Treasury that before they come up with any regulation to consult. I know there is a parastatal called Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA). They should sit with that body and the Central Bank of Kenya utilize the intelligence of its members and find out what we are doing wrong. view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Everyone talks about the issue of this country being broke. When did we stop being broke such that we have enough money to set aside? view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Last year, we kept our counties waiting to receive money and we were engaged in a debate where we voted for more than 10 times on the revenue formula. Most of us who were in the ‘no’ and could sit down and do mathematics were asking ourselves where we will get the extra Kshs42 billion to send to counties. Cleverly, the Executive played with our minds and added Kshs70 billion. What they did not tell us is that they were taking all the conditional grants and lumping all the money and giving it out to the counties. view
• 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: I am happy that this Senate is alive to the fact that conditional grants cannot be sharable revenue. That is the reason why we had to come up with the conditional grant legislation. It enabled us to be sending money to the counties as conditional grant. view
