  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this is about the second time in the last two or three months that Mr. Taratisio Ireri has brought very good Petitions to this House. I want to support the Petition and enjoin the distinguished Senator for Kitui County in what he has already observed. In this country, through successive governments and successive years very good ideas aimed at alleviating poverty, suffering and other deprivations of our people always end up being cash cows for the privileged. In a structure where we have Nyumba Kumi designed by the Government, where in every corner of the country there ... view

  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: with branches in every village in this country that can easily be used to disburse money to the needy cases. Secondly, even where the money is being disbursed, there have been incidents where we are told that money is being disbursed through M-PESA platform. Nobody tells the country whether the recipients have mobile cellphones and are registered M-PESA users. Thirdly, as Sen. Wambua rightly said, when natural attrition sets in, there is never an update of those exiting the list due to natural attrition like death and so on. That is how you end up with ghosts receiving money. An ... view

  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is one of our core mandates as Senators to preside over allocation of revenue. In our wisdom as legislators, we have also gone beyond allocation of revenue and now superintending over the National Treasury’s responsibility to disburse funds to the counties and the times at which such funds should be disbursed. This Schedule carries the signature of the official signatory to the National Treasury of the Republic of Kenya, the CS for Finance, Hon. (Amb.) Yattani.

  • 8 Sep 2021 in Senate: Unfortunately, we have situations where most if not almost all counties are net exporters of capital to Nairobi. We fight to take money to Kakamega, Isiolo, Bomet and Bungoma. Those we have entrusted with the money steal it and bring it to buy prestigious properties in Nairobi. Counties are not out there sustaining and improving the economy of Nairobi City County at the expense of the people who should benefit from devolution.
