• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is the mandate of collecting revenue. The role is done by the national Government and it is not the county governments. Please give the counties their money so that they can do their function. Counties must apply their money properly so that there is no corruption. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to contribute to this Adjournment Motion. It is very timely that Senate is adjusting its Calendar to be able to take care of what is happening in the country because COVID-19 pandemic is a real The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: disaster. The third wave of COVID-19 is nothing which has been seen before and quite a number of people are dying. It is good that the Senate adjusts its calendar so that we can meet once in a week for two sittings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we are in this third wave, the seriousness with which COVID-19 is attacking Kenyans cannot be overstated. We can see many people dying, our hospitals are overcrowded, there are no ICU beds in Nairobi and hospitals are overcharging their ICU facilities, which is very unethical. We urge the Ministry of Health and the county ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me join my colleagues in congratulating the new Senator for Machakos, Sen. Kavindu Muthama. I congratulate her for being elected the Senator for Machakos. I also congratulate the people of Machakos for electing her and for that matter, electing a woman. In fact, in this country, we should do away with tokenism for women where women are only nominated because women can be elected on their own. Parties in this country must nominate women and field them as candidates for elections. If you look at the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill 2020, I think we are ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Let me congratulate you for being elected as the Senator for Machakos. We will work together because we worked with the late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka very well. He was a very strong Member of this House. In fact, in the team that we were in together, Team Kenya, that actually fought very hard for revenue allocation to counties, he stood out as a leader for this country. Despite Machakos gaining money, he stood with all of us who were losing so that we were working together as a team. Congratulations and welcome. Count on our support. On behalf of the ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also thank Sen. Khaniri for bringing this Statement regarding power outage in Vihiga County. Power outage is actually a phenomenon in the whole country. It is not confined to Vihiga County. The KPLC over the years have not been able to light up the country as required. Look at the systems that are on the national grid. At the slightest of rain you see there is outage. In fact you do not see the relationship between rain and power outage. In fact, even in Nairobi, the outage is very common. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to contribute to this report of the Committee on Finance and Budget on the BPS, 2021. The BPS as usual contains a lot of policy proposals, including expenditure The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: and revenue raising measures. The BPS dissects the whole economy of the country and gives an overview of what is happening in the economy and what is expected to happen. This year‘s BPS comes against the backdrop of subdued revenue performance and also poor performance of our economy in terms of recovery. This can be attributed to the crisis we have had along with the other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic that has severed our economy. Nobody knows when the COVID-19 crisis will go away. In fact, it has exacerbated serious challenges that this country must face in terms of ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: For the time I have been in this in Parliament because I was in the National Assembly in the last two Parliaments, I cannot find a situation where the National Treasury has incorporated the report of Parliament in its final report of the BPS. It seems like a ritual, we make the recommendations, highlight the report using flowery language and nice economic words. Year in, year out, it is the same and it is reported to them, but nothing takes place. The relevance that we have as the Senate or in the National Assembly is when it comes to the ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: billion this year. The Kshs370 billion now has come, but in a very interesting form. Hitherto, according to the Constitution also, counties will get equitable share and conditional grants from the national Government‘s revenue share. It is actually in the Constitution. Three conditional grants that have been there in the successive years is the Fuel Levy Fund, Road Levy Fund, Level 5 hospitals, village polytechnic and user foregone is the fifth one. Those have now been converted into equitable share. That is how we got Kshs370 billion. In fact, equitable share remains at Kshs316.5 billion, and it is to all. ... view
