• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: The second reason we must reject this, is because the National Assembly has amended the Division of Revenue of 2017 and that of 2018 retrospectively without considering us by changing the baseline. The principle we have been using in the past six years is that, division of revenue must increase upwards and there is a good reason. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Before this Bill was tabled, the Senate Majority Leader tabled the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President. It purported that the economy has grown by 6 per cent and that by the end of the financial year, it will be at 6.3 per cent. In his Address, the President also said that we have extra allocations and the economy is doing well. Therefore, it is inconsistent for this Bill to propose a deduction of Kshs9 billion on the allocations to the counties retrospectively, but we have not seen deductions on matters of the national Government. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: The Senate must bite the bullet. It is either devolution falls on our sword or succeeds. The ghosts of killing devolution are in the national Treasury where the mandarins who are said to be experts are slowly killing it. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Let me explain to those who are Members of the Committee on Finance and Budget that the allocations to the counties have been reducing from 4.4 per cent to 2.3 per cent this financial year. On the other side, the allocations to the national Government have been increasing 4 per cent relative to the economy.

• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: country? Are county governments step children of devolutions or the country? By rejecting this allocation and amending it to conform to the allocations done by the CRA, we will be following the Constitution where in Articles 217 and 218 we are required mandatorily to consider the recommendations made by the CRA. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: On the second aspect which is leasing of medical equipment, for the first time, this House through the Committee on Finance and Budget, has made a decision. We have dilly-dallied, moved back and forth and made noise but this is the time to put our foot on the ground. The allocation for leasing of medical equipment has moved from Kshs3.8, 4.5 billion, 6.1 billion, 9.4 billion and now 6.2 billion. Sen. Wetangula did not mention that the Chairman of the CoG told us that the meeting where the MoUs were signed was called by the Principal Secretary (PS). He called ... view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the total allocation from 2014 up to now is Kshs450 million. We constructed a hospital using Kshs135 million. Imagine Kshs450 million and you have not seen a document or a contract. In Trans Nzoia County, for example, half the hospitals do not have the equipment. They are still in stores and some of them are still in boxes. They have never been used. This is fraud. It is corruption. We must say no to it by rejecting it from the schedule. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: If you want to know what the deduction means, there is a schedule attached to the Report. I hope it is there. Let me just give you a few examples. Nairobi County‟s allocation will be reduced by Kshs454 million if we accept the Kshs9 billion adjustment. Kakamega County will also suffer a loss of Kshs297 million. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: .: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it would be nice for you to see it because it is earthshaking. You will tremble if you see it. Elgeyo-Marakwet and Embu counties will suffer a loss of Kshs108 million and Kshs128 million, respectively. This is not a recurrent expense. This is development money that is being deducted from your poor counties. This is minus the Kshs200 million that will be deducted as source, once you pass the medical leasing equipment. So, we have double tragedy. When we told the Committee on Health to save us, this is what we were talking about. The minute ... view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Why should your county suffer a deduction of a shilling this financial year? What is the reason? Revenue has been collected and some of it lost through mega corruption which is synonymous with the Jubilee Government. We must say no because Article 96 is a special jurisdiction of the Senate. Sen. Haji asked me that question. Somebody went The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
