• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: exception. If there is going to be complications in doing that, this Senate could consider doing conditional grants to counties, to establish blood banks. Last year, I had a personal experience when my mother was in hospital. Every time blood was required, there was no blood in the bank. We had to make appeals to people in churches and political groupings to come and donate blood. I hope that this Statement and subject will be referred to the Committee on Health, because it deserves greater attention and more time of the Senate than the time that is available today. But ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rarely make the kind of contribution that I am going to make. Considering that this is the last day for the Senate to deal with this matter and that Members could have certain views that they wish to inject or to go on record, we should somehow find a way of putting the cart before the horse. If the Whips confirm that we have the threshold required, we should approve the work of the Committee on Finance and Budget, and then you give us an opportunity to express certain observation ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, four documents were laid before this House; the Draft Budget Policy Statement, the Medium Term Debt Management Strategy, the Draft Division of Revenue Bill and the Draft County Allocation of Revenue Bill. I want to pick up from where Sen. Olekina left. The Committee on Finance and Budget has implored the House to agree with the National Treasury on the Budget Policy Statement, Medium Term Debt Managing Strategy, and the draft Division of Revenue Bill with amendments on the issue of MES. However, I do not see a recommendation on the Draft County Allocation of Revenue Bill. ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought I had two minutes. For the respect that I have for the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, I take the assurance that the Third Generation Formula will come to this House before 30th April. I also hope that it is a rumour that it has already been introduced in the other House because this is the House that is supposed to process it. My final observation is on the stakeholder engagement in this particular exercise-- - view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will accept the information as long as my time is not taken away. view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to review the concept of public participation of the BPS. I have looked at the attachments and whereas the National Treasury, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) appeared, I have not seen a submission from the Council of Governors (CoG). That is alarming because if the governors cannot appear before the Senate and prefer to go to Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), yet I have not seen any communique from the IBEC on the conversation that took place between the two levels of Government. ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Motion and make one observation. Note number three on the Calendar says, “Annual suspension of Committee sittings from 14th December, 2020 to 29th January, 2021.” I appreciate that it is usually necessary to provide staff with an opportunity to take their leave and provide Members with an opportunity to go to their counties and interact with the electorate. However, I encourage the SBC and the Clerk to consider Sessional Committees and allow them to continue to do their business with due regard to the festive season. As we speak, the Senate has ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Report of the Parliament of Kenya Delegation to the 7th Symposium of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (CAC) of Hong Kong, that was held in Hong Kong on 22nd to 24th of May, 2019. Kenyans, in their usual comedy, have said that the Coronavirus that we welcomed at our airports just the other day when we allowed a flight full of passengers from China should start with Parliament before it goes to other sectors of society. That tells you a lot about how Kenyans think about Parliament. Therefore, when a delegation of ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: of the National Assembly. APNAC has done a great job in representing the Kenyan Parliament in international forums and other caucuses to discuss how to deal with corruption. Unfortunately, the case study of Kenya is not one that encourages a lot of sympathy whenever we go for APNAC sessions or whenever we go for conferences on anti-corruption. Every other week that passes, there is corruption in the public and private sector. Last year, the Committee on Liaison sponsored a few Members to go to Malaysia, and part of the conversation with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission was to share experiences in ... view
• 27 Feb 2020 in Senate: private sector and then you are convinced to start giving out hand-outs or bribes to get the guns tender, then it is not just the person who was purporting to be offering the guns tender who will be on the spot, but also the person who is giving the bribe and not just the individual but the entire organization that he represents. So, whenever we go out to have these conversations on anti-corruption, it is important that we come back home with a finding or with some revelation that we can make part of our legislation and legal regime. In ... view
