• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I beg to support the adjournment of debate, as proposed by the Senator for Kakamega. This is a very serious matter, and we are not handling it with the seriousness it deserves, as the Senate. This matter has been discussed severally in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and in my own Committee on Finance and Budget. After realizing that there is a lot of controversy about this particular matter, we recommended the suspension of this budget during the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) time in our Report on the Budget Policy Statement. We did this because of ... view

I also thank the leadership of Kitui County Assembly, the leadership of Kitui County Executive, led by Gov. Ngilu and the Speaker, Mr. Ndotto; two people who I have known for a long time in my career as a civil servant. I also thank the other dignitaries who have been able to join us today in this magnificent building; a very beautiful Assembly indeed. As we sit in Kitui County, ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also add my voice to the colleagues that have spoken before me. It could be said that today is a very sad day for this country. We have earlier said that DORA has been assented to and it will open the funding to the counties. Unfortunately, an illegality has been committed. It is very frustrating to sit in a committee for long and work hard and see something sneaked in. He mentioned that we might have disused the effective date in the Committee. The fact remains that this House passed a Bill with an effective ... view

• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2019) be read a Second Time.Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the House is aware the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No.8 of 2019) was published on 24th April, 2019 pursuant to provisions of Article 218(b) of the Constitution. However the introduction of it was parallel to an introduction and the consideration of Division of Revenue Bill which had been a protracted process. The House may remember that the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 11 of 2019) ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, both the Senate and the National Assembly published a second Division of Revenue Bill. While the National Assembly was unwilling to consider the Division of Revenue Bill published by the Senate which was constitutionally published both under Article 218 and 110 of the Constitution, the Senate, in its usual version of magnanimity and in the spirit of cooperation contemplated under Article 6(2) of the Constitution, proceeded to consider the Division of Revenue Bill introduced by the National Assembly. The Senate proposed amendments to the Bill which was rejected by view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: the National Assembly and led to the formation of a second mediation pursuant to Article 113 of the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate steadfastly maintained that counties must, at least, receive Kshs335 billion of the nationally raised revenue. The Senate further steadfastly maintained that the allocation proposed by the National Assembly for counties was not an equitable allocation as contemplated in Article 202(1) of the Constitution. It represented a negligible increase in the allocation to counties while the national Government will enjoy a substantial increase in the share of nationally raised revenue. However, the Senate was alive to ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have come from very far. In fact, Article 96 of the Constitution says that the Senate will protect the interests of counties and their governments. You cannot protect the interests of counties if you cannot determine how much you allocate to them. Attempt by the National Assembly or anyone else, to say that our role is only on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill is futile. We will continue fighting as we go ahead. This particular battle has not been the best. However, going forward and together with the matters that we forgo today, we ... view
