• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill divides the national Government revenue into allocations for national Government and county governments. The Division of Revenue Bill, 2017 gives us the indicative shareable revenue, the national Government share of revenue and the county government equitable shareable revenue. In 2017/2018 Financial Year, the county governments allocations as proposed by this Bill, provides that the county governments shall receive Kshs323,756 million. That is an increase from Kshs 280,300 million in the last Financial Year, 2016/2017. There will be additional revenues. Besides the equitable share of Kshs291,136 million as indicated in the proposed Bill, there will be other additional allocations ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: county headquarters to be at the same level with all the others across the country, so that they can have infrastructure facilities for smooth operations of the county governments. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Division of Revenue Bill also provides for grants to the county governments resulting from increased fuel levy. They will be receiving Kshs20,416 million towards maintenance of roads and they will also be receiving other monies from the World Bank. We have World Bank loans and we have grants. We have World Bank loans to the tune of Kshs7.9 million and also grants to the tune of Kshs 12.5 million. Among the allocations, I also want to comment further on the allocations to National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). In the last financial year, these resources were part ... view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to comment further on the allocation of the Kshs900 million towards compensation to county health facilities for user foregone fees. These monies normally go towards taking care of the fees that used to be charged for basic services like laboratory. This money is reimbursed to those hospitals to take care of those basic costs. We have our poor mothers who cannot afford basic laboratory fees. This money is therefore reimbursed to the hospitals and these are some of the conditional allocations that must be channelled directly by the county governments. view
• 2 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I want to urge all Members, that let us support the Division of Revenue Bill so that we can dispense of it fast enough so that we leave the rest of the work to the county governments. We want them to quickly approve their counties division of revenue so that we can also conclude on our budget estimates. view

• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.84, I wish to make a Personal Statement regarding my alleged involvement in illegal activities relating to poaching of Uganda nationals to register as voters in my constituency. On 30th January 2017, wild allegations were levelled against me in sections of print and social media that I evaded being apprehended by Ugandan authorities for allegedly attempting to illegally poach Ugandan nationals to Teso South Constituency to register as voters so as to swing the outcome of the August 2017 General Election results in my favour. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to offer a ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: registered as Kenya nationals may be enlisted as voters in the on-going voter registration exercise has become a matter of public notoriety. As a matter of fact, the law on registration of voters in the country clearly outlines that for one to be eligible for enlisting as a voter in Kenya, that person must have a national identification card as proof of Kenyan citizenship. Hon. Deputy Speaker, to imagine that foreigners who in all manner and intent do not bear national identification cards as Kenyans would be registered as voters in a country where they are not citizens is the ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to take this opportunity to urge all eligible Kenyans to voluntarily go and register as voters so as to have their opinion counted in the upcoming and subsequent general election. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this debate. This is a very important Motion. However, I agree with my colleagues who have mentioned that it has come a bit too late. We need to look at what the real problem is. Why are people not coming out in their large numbers to register? In my county, being a county at the border, we have a huge number of people who are unable to register because they do not have IDs. I mean a big number! We have married from the Diaspora and ... view
