• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The release of more resources to counties cannot be gainsaid. These resources are long overdue. We are now into the second quarter of the FY 2022/2023. Already, there is some delay in terms of release of these resources. The delay has been partly because when we passed this Bill in the Senate and it was taken to the National Assembly, they delayed to pass it before adjourning sine die . Therefore, the Bill lapsed upon the adjournment of the Parliament sometime in June this year. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: These funds are meant to cover several programmes run by county governments. The resources address various programmes of intervention in the development of our counties and the country in general. Programmes such as climate change resilience are very important in our counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we all know, there was this climate conference in Egypt last week, where issues of conservation of our climate and the environment in general were discussed. Some of the resources which are being covered by this Bill, will go into mitigating some of the climate change experiences that our country is undergoing. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Secondly, drought mitigation has been covered by some of the funds that are meant to be released by this Bill. As you are aware, more than half of the counties are reeling under the drought situation at the moment. The Government and private sector are busy raising funds, yet there are funds within the Government that are lying idle. These fund should go a long way in mitigating and minimizing the suffering that our people are undergoing. The earlier we pass this Bill, the better for everyone especially those who are in the drought-stricken counties and depend on aid to ... view

• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: counties. Now, they should be given the equipment on a need basis, so that each county chooses which equipment they want for their hospitals. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: The donor funds covered by this Bill are very essential. Contracts have been negotiated and signed but the funds are not being released because we have not passed this law to enable the Government to release the funds. This discourages the donors who have done a lot to facilitate the availability of those funds to county governments. They have been impeded by the failure to pass this law. This is a separate Fund. Therefore, there is need to prepare a different Bill to operationalize the Equalization Fund. view
• 17 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, the Fund is provided for under Article 204 of the Constitution. It is a distinct Fund. Therefore, we cannot lump it with the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, 2022. This is because the utilization of these Funds is not based on any conditions. There are no conditions imposed as a result of utilization of the Equalization Fund. The Fund also creates a 3 per cent Monitoring Fund, which is also not provided under the Equalization Fund. Therefore, there is likely to be a conflict if it is included in the County Governments ... view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Bw. Spika, asante kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia maombi ya Taarifa kutoka kwa Sen. Osotsi. Kama tunavyojua, nchi yetu ilikumbwa na janga la Korona na vile vile, baada ya hapo kukawa na wasiwasi kutokana na uchaguzi uliofanyika mnamo 9th Agosti, 2022. Yote hayo yaliadhiri uchumi, hususan utalii kwa sababu utalii unapendelea mazingira ambayo yako na utulivu na usalama. Bw. Spika, sasa kwa vile uchaguzi umekwisha na uchumi umeanza kufukuka, Wakenya wengi, mashirika na wafanyikazi wa serikali wamepata fursa ya kwenda kwenye mikutano, ili kuweza kujadili miradi na maswala mengine ya kuendesha Serikali. Hili jambo la kuzuia mikutano kufanyika katika hoteli ... view
