• 24 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The last time we contributed to this Bill is the last time the late Sen. Otieno Kajwang was in the House and he contributed in great detail to this Bill. Therefore, in passing it, it is in a way to honour him. I am still a little bit uncomfortable with the part where we have left the question of how the expenses will be defrayed in respect of implementing this particular section that we have amended.

After reading this Clause, it was obvious that the National Assembly overlooked the fact that elections that we completed in 2013 were the first general elections and, therefore, this amendment was superfluous. We have proposed to delete because it is unnecessary. Thank you. view

• 17 Feb 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) was very clever when they proposed this formula because they knew that when we go to the meeting, any attempt to change the formula, even by 1 per cent, would affect counties. In the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, we attempted to do permutation. We increased basic share to 30 per cent. This changed the formula in such a way that counties would be discriminated against. We picked population and attempted to also change it by either increasing or reducing and that changed the allocations in such a manner that ... view
