• 4 May 2016 in Senate: On a point of Order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On the same point, Article 218 (1) (b) says:- “A county Allocation of Revenue Bill, which shall divide among the counties the revenue allocated to the county level of government on the basis determined in accordance with the resolution in force under Article 217.” By the time we are looking at The County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which we are discussing today, the expectation is that everything started in Article 217 of the Constitution should have been observed and implemented. Since we have been magnanimous enough to extend time so that ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Bill, knowing very well that my job description as a Senator is in Article 96 of the Constitution. For avoidance of doubt, Article 96 gives me and the rest of my colleagues the power to determine the allocation of national revenue among counties. That is the purpose for which we are discussing this Bill today. I just wish that all of us would have taken this particular mandate very seriously. If you go further in the Constitution, Articles 217 and 218 also talk about the process which this Bill should go ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to echo the sentiments that have been put forth by my colleagues that money cannot get to the county if the Senator does not approve or vote for this County Allocation of Revenue Bill. As you sometimes put it, when you come to Nairobi to legislate and represent the people of your county, you are like someone who goes to shake a tree so that the fruits can fall down. Today through this Bill, we are shaking this tree so that our respective counties can get their fair share of revenue allocated to ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: For the people of Homa Bay County, I have got good news because this Bill proposes an increment in the amount of money that they are going to get as compared to the previous years. The equal share for Homa Bay County has increased to Kshs6 billion, up from Kshs5.6 billion in the previous year. When you sum up the equal share and the conditional allocations, Homa Bay County stands to get Kshs6.4 billion, up from Kshs5.9 billion that it received in the previous year. The additional Kshs500 million that goes to Homa Bay County, I want to believe that ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when our health facilities are not in good shape, it is our women who suffer most. I hope this additional Kshs500 million will go towards combating the HIV/AIDS situation in the county. My county has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the country and probably the highest prevalence rate globally. I hope this additional Kshs500 million will go into some of the sectors that will have a direct impact on the lives of the people. view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have had a debate on how to treat the second generation formula which this House has already approved but is still lying in the National Assembly. When I look at the new formula which forms the basis of allocation of revenue, I do not see a significant difference because the weight that was assigned to population remained at 45 per cent. The weight that was assigned on land area remained at 8 per cent and fiscal responsibility remained at 2 per cent. It is equal share where the percentage shifted from 25 per cent to ... view
• 4 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must point out that Parliament has occasioned unnecessary delays in the process of passing the two Bills; the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. The Public Finance Management Act has got very clear timelines within which some of these decisions need to be made. As we speak, the counties should be attempting to develop their budgets. The County Budget and Economic Fora should be holding The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, ... view

• 3 May 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt Sen. 001’s very eloquent presentation. However, is he in order to refer to Members of Parliament as “just some guy from some constituency?” These are Hon. Members of Parliament. view
