We are happy that most of them who have come to the Committee have already taken steps and have restructured to ensure that the water companies are run efficiently so that even if they do not make surplus, they are able to pay the day-to-day expenses of the company.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on statutory deductions, most of the water companies have not remitted Pay As You Earn (PAYE), pension, National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The Committee was thinking that it is not because of water companies or county governments; it is because the National Treasury has not disbursed resources to the counties.

Going forward, if it is possible, before resources are sent to the counties, all the statutory deductions are deducted at source, so that we do not end up with unpaid statutory deductions.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee on Information, Technology and Communication.

I wish to also comment on the Statement by the Committee on Energy. We ...

months, yet we expect the counties to run and people to go to work daily. I do not know what will happen. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) National Treasury needs to move with speed. They committed to both the County Public Investment Committee (CPIC) and Committee on Finance and Budget that by the 15th April, 2023, they were going to disburse money for January. Today is 18th April, 2023 and from the reports we are receiving, nothing has been disbursed.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As the Senator of Elgeyo- Marakwet County, I would have wished that we allocate Kshs425 billion or Kshs407 billion to the counties because it was scientifically done. However, as a Kenyan and leader, all of us who are here and also those not present in the House, know very well that our economy is not doing very well. Therefore, you cannot allocate resources that you are not able to meet. In the current Financial Year 2022/2023, we allocated Kshs370 billion to the counties. Out of the Kshs370 billion, up to now, since the last four ...
