• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to substantiate or speak more. What I was talking about is based on statistics that we are given regularly by the KRA, the National Treasury and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). We are remaining with only 36 minutes and most of the Members want to also contribute. Therefore, I do not want to belabour and say much. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is well known that last year, they were allocated Kshs370 billion. We are, therefore, saying, an increase of Kshs15 billion from Kshs370 billion to Kshs385 billion is an increase of ... view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: CRA. The CRA needs to come up with incentives so that those who meet the target of their Own Source Revenue (OSR) are given incentives, for example, additional resources. Otherwise, most of the counties will not collect yet they are supposed to collect. I know the Senator of Nairobi City County is here. Nairobi City County is able to collect about Kshs60 or Kshs70 billion, but they are not collecting it. Elgeyo-Marakwet County should be collecting over Kshs200 million. However, they are collecting less than Kshs100 million, or about Kshs130 million. Therefore, we need to tighten the rope, so that ... view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, we should ensure devolved functions are devolved and resources follow. I am happy to report and everybody knows that His Excellency the President has already reported that within six months, all the devolved functions will be released and resources will follow. view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Do you want to dispose of that one? view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I was saying before I got distracted, the two issues that we need to work on to ensure that more resources go to the county is to first ensure that the audited accounts are up to date so that even if counties get a minimum of 15 per cent, it should be a year behind. The second issue is on the other functions that have not been fully devolved. We need to have these functions are fully devolved and resources follow because His Excellency the President said it will be within six months. If ... view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Senate, I wish to welcome the teams from Elgeyo-Marakwet, Kilifi and Kakamega counties to the Senate. Elgeyo-Marakwet is a county of champions. Most people who win in the marathon and other athletics are from Elgeyo-Marakwet County. It is a good county. The former Senate Leader of Majority before he was sacked in the last Parliament was also from Elgeyo-Marakwet County. He did very well in this House. He has also started doing well in the Executive as the CS in charge of Infrastructure and Transport. I welcome all of them to ... view
• 30 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Elgeyo Marakwet County and on my own behalf, I wish to convey our condolences to the family of Hon. Hassan. Hassan and I served together in the last Parliament in the National Assembly when he was a Member for Banisa Constituency and he was re- elected for the second term. It is unfortunate that he lost his life through an accident in South C Estate. We wish the family comfort, peace, strength and also acceptance during this difficult time. You know, it is not easy to accept that ... view
• 28 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to add my voice. It is unfortunate for employees of the county to go three months without salaries. This is because there are those who have loans in the bank and they accrue interest and penalties. There are those who feel sick and maybe they want to go to hospital but the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cannot pay for the bed because NHIF deductions would not have been paid same to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and PAYE. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe KRA should be the last entity to ... view
• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by the Senator in terms of increasing the number of police stations, posts and patrol bases. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you increase the number of police stations, you will increase the number of police officers in different areas. We can propose that every sub- location should have either a police station or a police post, to enhance security in those areas. It is not only in Kirinyaga County, but also, other areas, especially that are prone to banditry and insecurity like Kerio-Valley. I know some communities across the country ... view
