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 ...

However, in the first allocation, most counties were allocated machines they did not need. Therefore, in this third round, counties need to be vigilant and take equipment that they require. In the first contract, counties were just flooded with equipment in their

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.

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 ...

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 ...

sababu ya wasiwasi. Sasa hivi, Serikali imepiga marufuku mikutano kufanyika katika mahoteli kama hayo. Bw. Spika, iwapo agizo hili litatekelezwa, itaamaanisha ya kwamba wale wawekezaji wa biashara za hoteli, watakosa kupata faida yoyote, mwaka huu wa 2022. Agizo hili litaadhiri uchumi kwa sababu mapato yanayotokana na utalii yataweza kupungua na hata yale malengo ya Serikali ya kukusanya pesa walizotarajia mwezi wa sita, bajeti iliposomwa, hayataweza kutimizwa. Ningependa swala hili liangaliwe kwa haraka, kwa sababu tayari tunafikia mwisho wa mwaka na wangependelea angalau wapate faida kidogo, ili waweze kuregesha raslimali zao mwaka huu wa 2022. Asante, Bw. Spika.

Asante Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa ya kuchangia Hoja iliyoletwa na Sen. Mungatama, MGH, Seneta wa Kaunti ya Tana River. Masuala ambayo ameyazungumzia Sen. Mungatana, MGH ni mazito sana ikizingatiwa kwamba maji ni uhai na tumekuwa na maafa ya mara kwa mara katika eneo la Mto Tana, ikiwemo ukame ambao sasa unaendelea pakubwa. Vilevile, kuna mafuriko ambayo yanatokea mara kwa mara. Bw. Spika wa Muda, Mto Tana ni sehemu ambayo iko na nafasi kubwa ya kuinua uchumi wa Kaunti yake na hata nchi nzima kwa jumla. Hii ni kwa sababu mahali ambapo Mto Tana unaingia katika Bahari ya Hindi, ...
