• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: of laziness in a county. A creation of a conspiracy where one governor leaves office, and the next one does not want to pay. I have chaired committees that have looked at the Auditor-General’s (AG) report on pending bills. The AG, Eddie Ouko, his last act before he left office was to audit pending bills across the country. What did we do, we took it to the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC). IBEC decided to audit the work of the AG. Each county went back to set up pending bills varication committees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter has ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill for very selfish reasons. I am embarrassed that I am not supporting it for nationalistic reasons; reasons that build a nation called Kenya, but reasons that are rather selfish. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Homabay County is receiving Kshs176 million in the allocations that will come from the monies that we have approved today. Out of the Kshs13.89 billion, Homabay Town will get Kshs8.6 million, Ndhiwa Constituency will get Kshs99 million, Suba North will get Kshs24 million and Suba South will get Kshs44 million. It is very difficult to stand on ... view

• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: will realize that this money is not sufficient to carry out an effective implementation or an effective project that will reverse the marginalization that these areas have experienced over the years. I wish that going forward, the 0.5 per cent that is specified in the Constitution can be applied to the latest audited accounts. I do hope that the National Assembly, whose accounts are used as a basis for this allocation, can fast-track their consideration of audit reports, so that we get the most recent audited accounts of the national Government funds, and that way, perhaps, Homabay will get more ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Indeed, my neighbour and younger brother can inform me, particularly if my fly has not been zipped up. view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Senator for Migori County, for duly informing me. view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, with that information in mind, we must reflect on the reason the Equalization Fund was established. Article 204 (1) of the Constitution talks about the Equalization Fund. In all our dealings, and I keep saying this, this House is not the Supreme Court, the High Court or the Court of Appeal. We must always look at the spirit of the law in as much as we look at the letter of the law. This money was meant to go towards counties and regions that have been marginalised as a result of Government policy and the most famous ... view

• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: there will be one person representing the county assembly and technical people from the ministries. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this was absurd. We made arguments that county governments are just thieves ‘eating’ money and we should give them additional money. We have a deficit of trust in this country. If we think that the people we have in counties are thieves, why do we keep voting them back? Why can we not kick them out of office? There are a lot of instruments we have in the Constitution and various laws. We cannot keep making legislation on the basis of ... view
• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Why is Turkana not the richest county in this country? As Sen. Lomenen had said earlier--- view
