• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: be discussed in this House, those are two different versions, introduces a complete different thing which was never there in the first place. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am a firm believer that the framers of our Constitution as it stands, were alive to the fact that it becomes very difficult for Parliament or rather for anyone to constitutionalize and protect certain constituencies and leave the rest. There are 290 constituencies save from the few from Taita Taveta and Lamu because of the population that have been protected by the Constitution, the rest can be changed at any given time. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: I live in Narok East. Anytime the population reduces in Narok East, I might end up losing Narok East because it is not protected. Therefore, to attempt to say that you are not taking that power away from the IEBC and saying as soon as this Bill has been assented to by the President, you have six months to create these constituencies and disregard what the IEBC said, is not fair. If you read the Report, the IEBC has shared the practicality of setting up these 70 constituencies; that it would not take less than a year. You forget that ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: much people can get. Is this realistic? They argument they make is that we have the issue of Equalization Fund. Madam Deputy Speaker, let me once again disabuse Kenyans of the illusion that this Equalization Fund actually helps. Currently, we have hospitals which were built, funded by that Equalization Fund. However, they are not in operation. The people who are supposed to have benefited never benefited. Therefore, when you tell us that you are increasing the term, first of all, show us the money. Tell us what happened to the money that had been set aside? Madam Deputy Speaker, when ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Division of Revenue Bill. I register my appreciation for this Senate, and to let Kenyans know out there that this Senate fought for them to get more money. When people ask what a Senator does, a Senator comes to fight for more money. In the Financial Year 2020/21 Narok County was getting Kshs8 billion, but because we passed the revenue formula in this House, Narok County will get Kshs8.8 billion. When I sit at my home, I am happy to have done my job that Narok County will get that ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: As is support this Bill, I am quite happy with the Committee on Finance and Budget for the recommendation they have brought because this Division of Revenue Bill is cleaner now. I love the recommendation that the Committee has proposed, and I will go directly to them. It says “total revenue share; National Government Equalization Fund and County Equitable Share.” County Equitable share is Ksh370 billion. I want to correct my colleagues who are saying that we are touching money from conditional grants. No! If the national Government wants to give country governments money from conditional grants, let them bring ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: I was given five minutes. The Speaker rules, not me. Most counties do not concentrate on own-source revenue. It is about time that you do because we are all complaining here that the national Government is not releasing money on time. If we look at the Division of Revenue Bill, Page 247, Column G, the net balance left for the national Government for the last financial year was a deficit of Ksh161 billion. With money having gone to Kshs370 billion we might be sitting down here, patting our shoulders and saying that we have done a good job as the ... view
