• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: (c) That the budget ceiling for the Executive for FY 2019/20 be reduced by Kshs19.47 billion. Since we hope to increase another budget from Kshs310 billion to Kshs335.67 billion, the difference must come from the Executive and not the national Government because that includes Parliament and the Judiciary. This amount is equivalent to an additional of 25.67 billion to the County Equitable Share for the FY 2019/20 from Kshs310 billion as proposed in the 2019 BPS to Kshs335.67 billion, and a reduction of Kshs6.2 billion for conditional allocation for leasing medical equipment. The Kshs6.2 billion must be reduced and that ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me thank the Members for the very good contributions and support they have given to this Budget Policy Statement (BPS) Report. Let me also thank the team from the Speaker’s Office and the Clerk’s Office who were with us during the preparation of this Report. I also thank the very able Members of my Committee who are very experienced. Two of them were in the last Senate and served in the same Committee, that is, Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I must say that all the nine Members, including myself, are ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Orders say our Committee must deal with the budget for the Constitutional Commissions and independent offices. We are also supposed to consider matters concerning the national budget, including public finance and monetary policies and public debts, planning and developments policy. Our job is not only confined to allocations to counties. That is why our Committee took time to actually address all the issues that are in that BPS, which is the beginning of the budget process. In fact, we have pronounced ourselves on them and, going forward, the product of this now will be vertical allocation of revenue between the ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, on the Division of Revenue Act, Section 5(1) of the Act currently says that any shortfall will be taken by the national Government, together with any increase. If an attempt is made to change that, then we open a pandoras box, and we will lose control. Therefore we, as the Senate, will say the way Section 5(1) of the Division of Revenue Act must remain as it is. In fact, even the draft that we have in the BPS proposes to change that both levels of Government will take up the shortfalls. Let us be on ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Currently, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, there is a Bill before the National Assembly – I do not know how it went there - also on Own Source Revenue collection. I think they are trying to operationalize some part of Article 209 of the Constitution, for counties to collect Own Source Revenue. However, the National Treasury wants to control them so that anybody who wants proposes to levy some taxes or rates must give a 10 month’s notice to the National Treasury. That is also absurd, but when the Bill comes before this House, we will look at it. Thank you, ... view
