• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me appreciate the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning. I just noted that he has lost a lot of weight. I am offering to give him a goat, so that he can gain it a little bit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank him for coming and responding to this matter. Sen. Sifuna has asked a very important question. I used to sit in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). This issue came up for discussion when the Auditor General had raised the concern that the Government may not have full control of ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: It is one question, but with different elements. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: It has parts (a), (b) and (c). view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at least, this is a very important element of that question. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Tomorrow, or next Wednesday, I will restrict myself to just one area. I will organize my thoughts properly. So, allow me to just add this part (d) to complete it. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Now you have made me lose my thoughts. Let me try and see what I can remember. This system, was it developed on a BOT model, or was it developed to be leased entirely in perpetuity? It begs the question as to why the Government would then sit down and adjust the figure of the Kshs50. How much have we paid?

The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: If I remember very well, this Senate passed the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA). Therefore, the only thing we are waiting for is for the President to assent to CARA. I held an earlier consultation with the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. The only point that I could see that we are differing is that we already have DoRA, which has already been assented to. So, the advisory given by the Attorney General is sound. However, I still feel like even that advisory came short of saying that the ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: In summary, I want to beseech my colleagues--- view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. This Statement does not require us really to beg. This Statement should be a directive to the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning to use the existing law. We are trying to correct everything. I know there was a problem with the Finance Act, but we should not just be looking at raising mechanisms, but the expenditure on the other side. So, if already there is a law that says send money to counties, then do so without hesitation. I remember we have been agonising over this for a long ... view
