• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: CAIPs because we have used one model and set one common budget for the 47 counties without differentiation. We must differentiate because our counties have got different comparative advantages. However, counties are still required to make matching contributions for the establishment of those aggregation parks. Mr. Speaker, Sir, beside Kshs415 billion that we are dealing with today, let us be alive that the revenues of counties do not necessarily come from the Consolidated Fund. Counties have got revenue raising ability. The law allows them to impose certain taxes that do not conflict with the national Government. The Commission on Revenue ... view

The committee has flagged the governors of Isiolo and Nairobi City County Executives and has subsequently summoned them to appear before the Committee in April and May, respectively. This report was approved last week, but I am pleased to note that the Governor of Isiolo was compelled to ... view

• 30 Apr 2024 in Senate: lack of accountability opens the door to fraud and misconduct. This unethical behaviour undermines the integrity of the payroll system and has resulted in massive financial losses in counties. The committee has since invited the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management, the Council of Governors (COG); and the County Assemblies Forum (CAF) to deliberate on this issue. Again, for emphasis, the National Wage Bill Conference was held about two weeks ago. However, the representatives of legislature were left out and yet some of the interventions required to tame the unhealthy wage bill could rise from budgetary ... view
