• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said it depends on how you look at it. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some people were looking at us curiously. They were wondering why we were looking a bit cosy; but you must be cosy with someone sitting next to you. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for guiding me. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we had this conversation about the role of the national Treasury in frustrating county governments. Every year, the national Treasury has been sending money to counties late; in this regard, to the Cash Disbursement Schedule that this House passes. There are cases, like this particular financial year, the national Treasury sent money to counties in July and yet the financial year ended in June. County governments use the cash basis accounting method and not the accrual method. When the national Treasury sends the money late in July, they force county governments to recognise that money as ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, i mprest management is an issue which we believe that the Senate should not be focusing too much on because these are issues that need to be dealt with at the County Assembly level. The law is very clear on how imprest should be managed. If imprest is not surrendered within seven days, it should attract certain levies at the prevailing interest rates yet you still find counties holding millions of shillings in unsurrendered imprest for durations exceeding 90 days or even 100 days. In those cases, we have made it clear that not just the ... view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: The issue of incomplete projects cuts across many counties. Allow me to highlight this because we were treated to this when we were in Uasin Gishu County during the first sitting of the Senate Mashinani . In West Pokot County, the Governor or CEC, in their own wisdom, decided to set up headquarters for every ministry. So, if you go to West Pokot County in Kapenguria, there is the County Treasury, Afya House, Maji House and Kilimo House which are all physical buildings. They were replicating what has happened at the national Government level. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that thinking was challenged just a few minutes earlier by Senators who were commenting on the community health workers Motion, where The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: people think that development is brick and mortar. They do not think that buying medicine and equipping hospitals is development. They want to do grand projects. I think it is because it is easy to vary and reduce quantities in those grand projects. If you are going to do five inches of tarmac, it is easy to do three-and-a-half inches and maybe the rest disappears into your pocket. How else do you explain those grand projects initiated but incomplete? We are talking about Financial Year 2013/2014 and to date, many of those projects remain incomplete. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: In Baringo County, Kshs31.9 million was spent on various irrigation projects: Kapkelelwa Irrigation Project, Cheraik Irrigation, Awee Domestic and Irrigation Project, Mukuyuni Irrigation Scheme, Emsos Irrigation Scheme and Emining Irrigation Scheme. When the Governor appeared before us when we were sitting in Uasin Gishu County, he confessed that he is not aware of where those irrigations schemes lie. view
• 22 Oct 2019 in Senate: We thought that because he was a new Governor, he was trying to discredit the other administration but the Auditor-General also confirmed that indeed, money was committed and paid but those projects do not exist. These are cases where we have recommended that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate and prosecute all persons involved. Looking at Article 225, whether someone is in office or not, they still take responsibility for any loss of funds occasioned during their time. view
