• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, in the absence of the National Land Commission (NLC) which is supposed to do the inquiry, the petitioner is directing this prayer to KeNHA but the people who are supposed to conduct the inquiries and provide this information is the NLC. As bad as the NLC is, another directive should come that this must wait for the commissioners of the NLC to come because KeNHA cannot compensate public land or schools. Schools must be given alternative land when public projects affect the children. We would like to have the roads in a place like Wangige but the ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am aware that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget has another serious Statement which touches on our legislative mandate. Could Sen. Murkomen lay his Statement and then you allow the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Budget to lay his, so that we combine both and make use of the time in order to “capture the moment”? Capturing the moment means that the matter about division of revenue where counties get stuck is a serious issue. We are having a crisis in the country--- view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am told that a lot of the people who are looking for change, are saying that this House should be made the ‘Upper House’ by law. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: That means that when you find children quarrelling, you do not start to quarrel with them. I believe that the National Assembly is ignorant of the law and we should ignore them. Just for the record, Article 110(1) of the Constitution states that- view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: “(1) In this Constitution ― a Bill concerning county government‖ means— (a) a Bill containing provisions affecting the functions and powers of the county governments set out in the Fourth Schedule; (b) a Bill relating to the election of members of a county assembly or a county executive; and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: (c) a Bill referred to in Chapter Twelve affecting the finances of county governments.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is nothing that the National Assembly is doing whether it is debt or borrowing that does not concern counties. What bothers me is the fact that it appears that the division of revenue is becoming a matter that should be given attention by county assemblies. We had debate with colleagues from the National Assembly during the mediation. As far as they are concerned, when it comes to the division of revenue, the only figure that we should look at is the ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we went to the Supreme Court, the allocation of county governments had declined from 4.3 per cent to 3 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). They do this very slowly; and soon enough, we are only going to pay salaries. Members of the Senate who are here, some of you who want to be governors, you will be governors just to pay salaries. At the current rate, you will not be able to make any move. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same people have gone and interfered with our mandate in the ruling of Court of Appeal that says that the Senate has no role on own- source revenue. Meanwhile, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has brought a formula here which we are trying to interrogate for purposes of increasing the revenue of counties in terms of their collections. The solution is not even this debate; it is a day, next week, when we shall walk to the High Court with a suit, in the name of the Speaker of the Senate against the Speaker ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my view, the question of waste is a matter we should take up as a Senate because that is a devolved function. It amazes me that we actually think that solid and even human waste is something that should be ignored. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
