• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I had a chance to look at the Budget Policy Statement. I have also had a chance to look at the recommendations made by the Committee. I hope that the Chairperson, the Mover and the Seconder listen to me because sometimes I am a little bit confused over who has the mandate.

• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: I have looked at Recommendation No. 4, and I have an issue with it, as much as I want to support this. Let me first of all register that I actually do not support the Committee report, because it has two different issues. Recommendation No. 4 says that there is need to relook at how the vertical revenue sharing is determined to avoid a situation where the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the National Treasury are proposing different figures using a different formulae basis. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought that it is the role of the CRA to come ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when there is Recommendation No.4 that talks about the role of CRA and the National Treasury in terms of coming up with a formula, of course, it gives me room to discuss the issue of the third generation formulae. My plea to the Committee on Finance and Budget is that as much as we say that the Executive keeps on violating the Constitution, two wrongs do not make a right. It is about time that we take our responsibility very seriously. If we keep on fighting---. Some of us are still stuck in the idea that we ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: generation formula, which is what the CRA and the National Treasury are using at the moment, if we apply the current population numbers, Narok County will not get Ksh7.1 billion; they will get Kshs8.1 billion. My concern is that--- view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Like Sen. Halake, I am equally concerned. I have heard the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget indicating that DoRA and CARA will be tabled afresh. I have looked at the recommendation on Clause 13 where it is stated that Clause 5 of the proposed Division of Revenue Bill, 2020 should be amended.

• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: I am sure if the actual revenue raised nationally and in the financial year falls short of the expected revenue set out in the Schedule, the shortfalls shall be borne by the National Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, this brings us back to the issue of DoRA. If we do not discuss it now and go with your submission that you will table it afresh, why then should we seek for it to be amended in the BPS yet it has got nothing to do with it. Those are the things that concern me. I wish you could table a spreadsheet ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. This being a House of record, the Division of Revenue Act (DoRA) and the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) that the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget has got figures based on the Second Generation formula. Does that mean that the Chairperson will withdraw that and table CARA afresh? view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some comments in support of the Petition by Sen. Loitiptip on the issue of human-wildlife conflict. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Petition is not something new. We have all discussed about issues regarding our need to preserve human dignity, and also our desire to enjoy the gains that we get from the tourism sector. That is why we have turned everything into a commodity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of human-wildlife conflict is something that can easily be resolved. I request the Committee that will be tasked with that issue for the ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you commit this Petition to a Committee, we have to come up with measures to stop the issue of human-wildlife conflict. I fully support it and I hope The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: that the Committee will extend to Narok and Kajiado counties, where there are similar issues. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General had been asked to compensate, because there are many cases. Many people have been killed In Narok County. Every so often in Kajiado County, you will hear farmers saying that they will kill all the lions, because they destroy their livelihoods. It is not an issue of compensation, but finding a lasting solution. The Committee should, therefore, look into how certain areas can be reserved as wildlife corridors and no human settlement should be allowed there. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, ... view
