• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: not able to prepare her report on time. When the Assembly eventually got to consider the report, it made recommendations that both persons be investigated and be prosecuted for causing serious financial loss to the residents of Nairobi. Those officers of the County went to court, and in court arguments were made. The eventual decision was that the County Assembly of Nairobi City acted outside the constitutional timelines, and therefore their report was null and void; and that the Auditor-General also tabled that report outside the constitutional timelines, and therefore that audit report was null and void. Mr. Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: We have assumed that wages in county governments should be 35 percent and above. The question is, what is the authority behind that? The International Monetary Fund (IMF) did a study that indicates that in the most efficient municipalities and urban areas and cities, the proportion that goes to wages is seven percent. I will be happy to share with Senators that report of the IMF. The global standard or the gold standard when it comes to human resource and wages is seven percent. We have institutionalized 35 percent, which is five times the gold standard and in many cases, ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will need to be convinced further, and I am just giving notice that I do not agree with the spirit of this report. The Senate got the short end of the stick because we must always look out for the interests of counties and their governments. It was my view that Kshs400 billion was the irreducible minimum which county governments ought to get. However, the silver lining is that Justice Jairus Ngaah The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: is a disruptor. We can blame him for giving a ruling that sounds impractical, but he has disrupted our processes. We must now make sure that within three months, the National Assembly has audited and has considered the revenue reports so that we can share with counties the most recent revenues as collected by the National Treasury and the other agencies, without hiding behind fiscal deficit. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I disagree with this report. view

• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Omtatah to direct the Senate Majority Leader to take certain actions and make certain decisions, yet just this afternoon, he has launched his exploratory committee to be the next President of Kenya. He could just wait to be the President and then he would give county governments more money. So, why would he want Sen. Cheruiyot to go and do the right things that will make his President popular and deny him votes? Is it in order for him to shoot himself in the foot on the Floor of the ... view

• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of people going to the office of CoB with envelopes has been there. However, I want to inform Sen. Osotsi that there is something called Form C and it is a real form in that workflow. At the very minimum, the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) Finance will be carrying Form C. Sen. Osotsi, it might not be very useful for us to appear as if we are castigating a constitutional office. However, I can tell you that that Form C needs to be eliminated from that process. As long as the CECM Finance ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from where I sit, that Form C must be eliminated so that nobody like Sen. Murango walks around with brown envelopes to the CoB's office. The CoB as a constitutional office bearer, this House should never be seen to be casting aspersions on her conduct. view
