• 11 May 2022 in Senate: Earlier in the term of this House, we came up with a fiduciary risk report or approach to look at some of these issues coming from the counties. We did the first fiduciary risk report. I hope that the next Senate will continue with that tradition. That will give us a holistic view on how this Kshs370 billion is making a difference in the lives of the people in the counties. view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: There are ceilings that have been proposed for county assemblies. I am concerned. Even though I second and support this Bill, in the Public Finance Management Act and the subsequent regulations, we had said that county assembly allocation should not exceed 7 per cent of the equitable share due to a county government. With time, county assemblies have petitioned the Senate. They have cried out against county executives that have been seemingly denying them funds to do things. view
• 11 May 2022 in Senate: If you look at what has been proposed as a ceiling for county assemblies, it is close to 10 per cent of what is going to county governments. In some counties, it is close to 13 per cent. More money should go to development. Legislation and representation is important. However, at what point did we creep from 7 per cent all the way to 13 per cent? There is the Peter’s principle that says work expands to fit the time allocated. It is the same case with money. The more money you have, the more activities you want to undertake. ... view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: If my scorecard was anything to go by, is that every single year that I have sat in this House and I have faithfully participated on the debates on Division of Revenue Allocation Bill (DORA) and on County Allocation of Revenue Bill (CARA); the two most important pieces of legislation for Members of this House; the DORA and on CARA and the basis for allocation for revenue. I have sat here and all the Members I can see in this House today have sat faithfully to ensure that the voices of their constituents are heard. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with that ... view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: become governors are not other gods or demigods. They should be people who will be driven to serve the people that have voted them into office. I pray that when we come back to this House, we will have a sober conversation on how to increase the allocation to county governments. We have talked of making it 35 per cent of national revenue, I still believe that 35 per cent of national revenue is not too much for devolved functions. If we have truly devolved roads, health, agriculture and all those functions in the Fourth Schedule, 35 per cent of ... view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, everyone is talking of valuation rolls, rates, taxing everyone for everything. If you want to cut a tree in Nairobi City County, you have to pay something. I want to encourage those of us who are in here such as Sen.(Prof.) Ongeri, the distinguished Speaker and others who I believe that God listens to their prayers and who will be fortunate to run counties, that let us improve productivity in our counties. ***The formula for revenue sharing that we spent a lot of time in this House trying to agree on, to be honest we did not ... view
