PROVISION

OF

IFMIS

REPORTS

FOR

COUNTY

GOVERNMENTS TO THE SENATE

(Sen. Andrew Omtatah Okoiti, MP)

THAT, AWARE that, Article 96 of the Constitution provides that the Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect their interests, determines the allocation of national revenue among counties, as provided in Article 217, and exercises oversight over national revenue allocated to the County Governments;

FURTHER AWARE THAT, in the case of Senate v Council of Governors and 6 others (Petition 24 and 27 of 2019 (consolidated) 2022) KESC 57(KLR), the Supreme Court affirmed that the Senate’s oversight authority extents to both nationally allocated and locally generated revenue;

………../Motions

(No. 069)

TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2026

(1709)

CONCERNED THAT, that Senators are constrained by lack of access to real time to data from the IFMIS system for the respective counties they represent, thus affecting effective oversight of County Governments;

FURTHER CONCERNED THAT, in some instances data and information presented to the Senate by the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget are received and considered late as a result of the backlog resulting into too much information not getting properly reviewed by Senators;

NOTING THAT, as a result of unchecked financial information and systems, County Governments have continued to accumulate pending bills resulting from unplanned expenditures, unaccounted for and inflated cost of projects;

NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves, that the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the National Treasury shall on a monthly basis forward to the Clerk of the Senate all IFMIS transactions and reports for each County Government for onward transmission to the respective Senator for information on accountability and transparency, in order to strengthen their constitutional oversight and promote good governance in the management of public finances.

1. NOTICE

OF

MOTION

STRENGTHENING

DISABILITY-INCLUSIVE

EDUCATION FOR LEARNERS WITH ALL FORMS OF DISABILITY,

INCLUDING NEURODEVELOPMENTAL CONDITIONS AND SPECIFIC

LEARNING DISABILITIES

(Sen. Catherine Mumma, MP)

THAT, AWARE THAT Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution guarantees every child the right to free and compulsory basic education while Articles 27, 43, 54 and 56 of the Constitution, the Persons With Disabilities Act, The Children Act and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), require the State to promote equality, dignity and access to inclusive education for persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups through appropriate legislative, policy, administrative and budgetary measures;

RECOGNIZING THAT national laws and policies, including the Basic Education Act, the Persons with Disabilities Act, the Children Act and the Competency-Based Curriculum Framework, provide for inclusive and equitable education through reasonable accommodation and appropriate support for learners with disabilities and special educational needs, including neurodevelopmental and learning disabilities, and that the Constitution assigns Early Childhood Development Education and childcare facilities to county governments while the national government oversees education policy, curriculum, standards and teacher management, thereby requiring effective intergovernmental coordination to promote disability-inclusive education;

CONCERNED THAT despite existing legal and policy frameworks, many learners with disabilities continue to face barriers in accessing quality education due to gaps in identification, assessment, specialized personnel, assistive technologies, infrastructure and support services as highlighted by the Auditor-General’s Performance Audit on education for learners with special needs (2025) which revealed deficiencies in resources and institutional capacity, leaving many learners, including those with neurodevelopmental conditions and learning disabilities, inadequately supported despite significant public investment in education;

RECOGNIZING THAT disability-inclusive education requires sustainable financing, accountability, reliable data, evidence-based planning, intergovernmental collaboration and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in education processes;

NOW THEREFORE, THE SENATE RESOLVES THAT-

1. The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with National Treasury and

County Governments, shall within six (6) months develop and submit to Parliament a costed National Disability-Inclusive Education Implementation and Financing Framework outlining learner needs, accessibility gaps, support services, implementation timelines, accountability mechanisms and sustainable financing arrangements;

……..……/Appendix

2. The Ministry of Education reviews and harmonizes existing laws, policies

on disability-inclusive education to align with the Constitution, the Competency-Based Curriculum and international obligations, ensuring adequate support for learners with all forms of disabilities;

3. The Ministry of Education establishes standardized disability data

collection and reporting systems and maintain a comprehensive database of learners requiring disability-inclusive educational support to inform planning, budgeting, monitoring and resource allocation; and

4. The Ministry of Education implements the recommendations of the

Auditor-General’s Performance Audit on education for learners with special needs (2025) and the gives an implementation status to the Senate of the provisions of Section 20 of the Persons with Disabilities Act within ninety days following approval of this Motion.
