• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Much obliged Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2014) be read a second time. Before I prosecute the matter, allow me to make maybe three comments. First of all is to welcome hon. Moses Kuria to this House and also hon. Kariuki, who was recently elected in Mathare. Secondly, may I also say that I join those who find disturbing that Kenya Airways is flying to West Africa. We may not be the Executive but we represent the people who through their Government own significant shares in Kenya Airways. ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The Bill that I have mentioned provides for the equitable allocation of revenue raised by the national Government for the county governments for the Financial Year 2014/2015. The enactment of the law will be in fulfillment of Parliament and specifically--- view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The enactment of the law will be in fulfillment of Parliament’s and specifically, the Senate’s role as stipulated in our Constitution. In this Bill there are three schedules proposing to allocate resources to the counties. The Schedules are:- The First Schedule which divides Kshs.226.66 billion of sharable revenue using the formula approved by Parliament. The Second Schedule divides Kshs.13.898 billion as conditional allocations to county governments from loans and grants received from development partners; the amount of Kshs.13.898 billion constitutes a grant of Kshs.733.6 million from the Government of Denmark and will be disbursed directly to the county governments to ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hospitals which totals Kshs1.87 billion and it is based on the Mediation Committee Report on Division of Revenue Bill that was adopted by this honuorable House. There are three concerns that I wish to raise, two specific and one general. I begin with the specific concern. Clause 5 of the Bill refers to conditional allocations of loans and grants which is provided for to supplement financing for county health authorities, of which Kshs.13.2 billion will be managed by the national Government with full involvement of county governments. My Committee noted with concern that the Bill did not detail the following:- view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Enumeration of the criteria applied in determining the allocation of the Kshs.13.2 billion to each county and two, there is no sufficient information concerning the existing financial agreement with development partners as well as ongoing contracts with suppliers which informed the allocation of the conditional allocation. The other specific concern that my Committee expressed is, we note that the Senate has proposed to amend the Public Finance Management Act 2012 to provide a duty to the Commissioner of Kenya Revenue Authority to give recommendations to the Senate on recurrent expenditure of county governments. The specific provision in this Bill, pursuant ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: it needs to be repeated here that we followed the law and we gave not 15 per cent of the money that the law requires we give. We actually gave 43 per cent of that amount. Therefore, all this clamour that we are not giving enough money to county governments is all together misplaced. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as the custodians of law, we must respect, defend, protect and uphold the supremacy of our Constitution. The Constitution requires that the equitable division of revenue takes into account the functions assigned to each level of government. Article 218(2) of the Constitution requires ... view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: to realize that the resource envelope is limited. What is of greatest concern to us is that we make sure that the money we make is spent carefully and it is also audited. Therefore, I thank the Chair for giving me this opportunity to move this and I now wish to request the Member for Dagoretti, hon. Waweru to second. I beg to move. view
• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table:- Report of the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations on the consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2014. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you mentioned, we have visitors from the Parliament of Tanzania. My Committee was scheduled to see them tomorrow at 11 O’clock and you have just made an announcement with regard to sports at the Nyayo Stadium. I do not know whether you would be so kind as to give us consideration, so that we meet our guests from Tanzania.

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, one more item. As you know, you kindly approved the Parliamentary Golfing Club, which I am privileged to chair and am a bit disappointed that we will not have a tournament this year. I am hoping that when we do Parliament Week next year, you will include golfing as one of the games to be played by the two Chambers against each other. view
