• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: I am one of the people who believes that the only thing that the community can benefit is if the money goes straight to their M-Pesa. When we talk about communities benefitting from money that is set in a fund what comes to mind is the Equalization Fund where communities that were supposed to be benefitting have never benefitted. Are we just creating another fund, which will just give money to the national Government who will then decide what to do or not to do with that money? view

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: Time is not on our side so I do not want to deliberate on this matter for long. However, I am not very happy with certain proposals on this Bill, which I have discussed with my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Zani because they will affect what is already on the ground.

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: Narok County has a lot of potential for solar and geothermal energy. However, no one is benefitting from those in Narok County. In fact, the companies that come to exploit those resources are not anywhere from the region. In fact, there is no one from Narok County who goes to the Ministry of Energy to be given a license to exploit geothermal to benefit the people who live in that area. view

• 3 Aug 2021 in Senate: My problem with this Bill is that it creates another fund, which the national Government will decide whether or not to send the money to county governments; the people who are supposed to benefit. This Bill also proposes that the money should be collected by the KRA to be allocated by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). I urge my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, to amend PART II on the Functions of the Commission on Revenue Allocation. It says- ‘5.
