• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Statement of the Senate Majority Leader usually does not elicit debate because it is more of agenda setting for the coming period. However, when the leadership of the House retreats, I would like them to urgently look into the Additional Allocations Bill that is supposed to take money to counties. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: It is unfortunate that the money that is coming from the Word Bank, the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) and several other donors, is still stuck at the National Treasury and not going to counties. The Additional Allocations Bill was supposed to unlock what we used to call conditional grants. The County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2022, was supposed to unlock what we used to call conditional grants. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many counties had put in their budgets and project proposals that they were going to have the money. Part of it was to go to agriculture, health sector, sanitation, and infrastructure, commonly known as the Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP). Part of the money was also supposed to go to capacity building, also known as the Kenya Devolution Support Programme (KDSP). view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Some of the grants are expiring this year, yet money has not gone to counties. We need the Chair and the SBC to direct the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to make this their top-most priority. We can borrow a leaf from the National Assembly, where the Speaker, Hon. Wetangula, ruled that certain Bills do not have to go through pre-publication scrutiny, so that they can be fast-tracked and brought to the House. How I wish when the Senate Majority Leader was telling us about the business of the Senate in the coming days that there would be a ... view

• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this matter has been pending for far too long. I wish you could direct either the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget or the leadership of this House to make this the top-most priority of this House. Even if we have to come back during the recess period, let it be, so that the money can go to save lives and unlock productivity in our counties. I thank you. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I encourage the Majority Whip not to be jittery. I was not imputing any inefficiency on the part of the Majority side. In fact, this has nothing to do with the Cabinet that was sworn in today. In June, 2022, the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill was brought to Parliament. We did not agree with the National Assembly on things that I view

• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: think are small matters. This matter is entirely in our hands. My appeal was on fast- tracking. I was just raising that sense of urgency. Perhaps colleagues who joined the Senate in August might not be privy to the joking and all the lobbying that went into getting the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2022. The definitions alone in this Bill took us a long time to move from “Conditional Grants” to “Additional Allocation”. I just want to encourage the Whips, the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader who sit in the SBC that they have ... view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion of Adjournment, that the House resumes its sittings on 8th November, 2022 and take that break to plan. As we have said before, things do not go wrong; things start wrong. It is important that the Senate retreats to consider what we put forth as priority business. What we define as priority Business in the First Session, will dictate how this Senate is going to run. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that at the end of the term of Parliament and, particularly the Senate, you might find ... view
