• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on behalf of the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce, Budget and Tourism Committee of the Senate. I would like to begin with a letter from the Principal Secretary, the National Treasury, Dr. Kamau Thugge, which was a preface to the letter by Mr. Henry Rotich, Cabinet Secretary, the National Treasury. These two letters are very serious. Mr. Thugge’s letter clearly says that the purpose of this letter is to refer to the attached statement on the financing of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital. It says that ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Secondly, if you look at the letter from the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Henry Rotich, he says very clearly that the National Treasury has transferred funds due to the County Revenue Fund of Kisumu County Government in accordance with the County Allocation Revenue Act 2013/2014. They have gone ahead to give us the disbursement of the allocations, item by item. In this disbursement, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, an amount of Kshs338,616,571 was due to the hospital in the 2013/2014 Financial Year. The Government disbursed Kshs294,437,920. There was a balance of Kshs54,178,65. Madam Temporary Speaker, those figures appear nowhere ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we do not have the table for 2013/2014 Financial Year. We need the table for 2013/2014 Financial Year from the National Treasury to compare it with the figures that are given by the Governor for Kisumu County. The issue is the National Treasury has transferred funds due to the County Revenue Fund of Kisumu County Government in accordance with the County Allocation of Revenue Act for 2013/2014 Financial Year. For this question to be fully ventilated, we need to compare the figures from the National Treasury and the county government to see whether they converge and are ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am much obliged. The Committee Executive Member (CEC) in charge of finance from Kisumu County Government then says that as a matter of fact, the National Treasury over- recovered the salaries paid by Kshs279 million thus affecting funds for both equitable share and level 5 hospitals. We need to see correspondence to this effect. If this was true, the National Treasury should have said so in their letter; that, one of the reasons the county government has not submitted that money to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital is because they withheld it. The National ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I add to the demands by the Chairperson, Committee on Finance, Budget and Commerce that in responding to the CS’s letter, the County Government of Kisumu states very clearly how much the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral hospital has been remitting to the county revenue account in terms of cost sharing revenue. This is because the regulation in that county is that the cost sharing revenue is put in the county revenue account and then sent back to the hospital. The hospital gets cost sharing and promptly banks it in the ... view
• 14 Jul 2016 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second. First of all, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for bringing this very important Bill to the Senate. Before I say anything, I would like to refer the Senate to the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Let me draw your attention to Article 1(4) on Sovereignty of the People, which says:- “The sovereign power of the people is exercised at – (a) the national level; and (b) the county level.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for allowing this discussion to take place on this issue of arms in Parliament. It would be better if we took the precaution in ensuring that guns and other ammunition, like the bows and arrows, do not come into the precincts of Parliament. I am very worried about the effectiveness of the control at the main gate. First, the rate at which the sentries are changed and the quality of the sentries who come and go, leaves a lot to be desired regarding the perfection of ensuring security at the gate. Secondly, there ... view
• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue and I would like to pick up from where Sen. Ongoro anchored. We Senators and Members of the National Assembly have no time or skill to look into this matter. We shall depend on evidence given to us by those in Government to make decisions. Why go around it? I believe that we have a National Intelligence Service (NIS) which is a great improvement on the former Special Branch whose responsibility is to provide intelligence to Government in all sectors of life; economy, security and defence. We also have the ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill which seeks to amend an Act of Parliament regarding micro enterprises. This is The Micro and Small Enterprises (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2015). Before I make my contribution to this Bill, I congratulate my colleague, the Senator for Kiambu County-the bedroom of Nairobi City-Sen. Wamatangi. May I draw the attention of the Senate to the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution regarding the division of functions; that is the second part on sub-section seven of the County Governments Act. One of the functions of the county governments is ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: operators grouping themselves into SACCOs that will make it easier for them to do their business and access capital. The same is true with table banking which is currently done by many women groups in the counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
