Many of them appeared in person and those who could not appear submitted their Memoranda to us. We also got the Senate Standing Committees to submit their recommendations to the Committee. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The 2019 Budget Policy Statement mainly focuses on the Big Four Agenda which is aimed at creating jobs and transforming lives. It is, however, important to note that out of the Big Four Agenda, three of them are fully devolved. The BPS is silent on the role of counties in accomplishing the Big Four Agenda. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The role of the Senate in the review and approval of Government economic and spending policies contained in the BPS, are clearly buttressed in the functions of the Senate as clearly set out in Article 96 of the Constitution. The BPS sets out the annual revenue amounts to be collected by the national Government. These are invariably the resources that are divided between the two levels of Government. The Senate’s role, therefore, spurns protecting the financing of the counties, ensuring unified economic policies and prosperity in counties for the benefit of all Kenyans and to improve national and intra-county business ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The BPS targets to raise a total revenue collection including Appropriation-In-Aid of Kshs2.81 trillion for the Financial Year (FY) 2019/2020 compared to Kshs1.832 trillion for FY 2018/2019. All the revenue is projected to be Kshs1.877 trillion for the Financial Year 2019/2020 which is higher than the Kshs1.652 trillion estimated for 2018/2019. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: According to the BPS 2019, the projected revenue performance will be based on ongoing reforms in tax policy and revenue administration which are similar to those identified in the 2018/2019 BPS. However, the BPS 2019 does not report on the progress achieved and how it is expected to raise specifically through these reforms. view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: The economy of this country has grown - according to reports - in a very stable manner for the period 2013 to 2017 at a remarkable 5 per cent, compared to 4.7 per cent in 2008 to 2012 and 4.6 per cent in 2002 to 2007. The economic growth for 2018 is projected at 6 percent; an increase from 4.9 percent in 2017. While this is a very impressive growth, the emerging concern is that the key drivers of economic growth are not anchored on key policy changes but are based on factors that are beyond the control of policy ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, agriculture, which earlier on in the Motion was being discussed, is the main anchor of this economy. However, past Government interventions which are supposed to enhance agricultural productivity such as large-scale irrigation, distribution of certified seeds and fertilizer have not enhanced the production as expected, mainly due to poor implementation of these proposals. The manufacturing sector is suffering because of lack skilled labour in addition to several regulatory challenges. Key areas of focus should be the intervention on the expansion of promotion of small-scale industries. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
