• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: We also need to look at the funding procedures so that we do not take debts at the national Government level and also at the county government. This is to avoid situations where, at one time, we may not be able to pay the loans we borrow from different organisations and countries. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill also should have at least explained the public participation in the PPP framework. It should have stated how we are going to involve the public and what the public can do in case this private actor breaches the law. It is not very clear on the penalties. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Therefore, this is a timely and important Bill, save for some few amendments on approval of projects by the Senate and county assemblies. It should also bring out clearly who will enter into which agreement, which county projects are going to be done through these PPPs, and how it will help the people in those counties. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to add my voice on this important County Allocation of Revenue (Amendment) Bill. The people of Kenya voted for the Constitution, 2010 because of the hope they had in devolution. Therefore, this House should stand for devolution, so that the people of Kenya can get the gains they voted for Constitution, 2010. This is because the monies we allocate to the counties and give to them must be seen to develop those counties. However, as we speak, we have quite a number of challenges, as the hon. Senator has ... view

• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: is suffering. Therefore, I am happy to see that an allocation of Kshs1.85 billion will go to 45 counties in our country. I will support this Bill because of this. This is the second phase of this support. I want to believe that these grants going to the urban support projects in our counties will serve the purpose intended. These grants are coming from development partners, that is, the Government of Sweden, the European Union (EU) and the World Bank. The development partners must see the benefit of the conditional grants and loans that they give to the people of ... view

• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: As I support this Bill, I concur with my colleagues that conditional grants should be brought at the right time, when the Budget is being made, so that when we pass it, and counties can appropriate the money in their budgets. We should not have supplementary budgets in the middle of a financial year because counties might not have allocated the monies. That is why we find counties spending money even without looking at their priorities. When you are given money that was initially not in your County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), you may end up misappropriating it. The electronic ... view
