Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the IG of Police very keenly. I would like to know the specific brief that led to the suspension of the officers at Central Police Station.

Proceed, Sen. Boni.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to quickly comment on the statement by the Senator for Migori County. He has actually four statements on the matter of mineral mining. Sen. Eddy’s statements are quite heavy and very important because they are actually addressing very fundamental questions in the...

Order, Senators, can we listen, please. Sen. (Dr.) Murango, please, order! (Loud Consultations)

Madam Temporary Speaker, we needed to get somewhere in the middle. That is why, we came up with a figure of Kshs4.5 billion. So, the figure of Kshs4.5 billion is like a stabilisation factor between the formula that was initially proposed by the CRA and the formula that was initially...

Our biggest battle is the Kshs465 billion allocation, as there is no justification why counties should not be added money. Counties are now burdened with the Housing Levy, the enhanced National Social Security Fund (NSSF) contributions, the County Aggregation Industrial Parks (CAIPs) , stipends for Community Health Promoters (CHPs) ,...

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me start by congratulating the CS for the good work he is doing at the National Treasury and Economic Planning. Indeed, you are the expert that we have been talking about. I have two quick questions. One is that the CS has talked about...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to comment on the statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch regarding insurance coverage for hospital assets. This statement emanates from audit queries before the County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee (CPISFC) regarding the issue of plant, property and equipment in various...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a very important matter to raise. Standing Order No.38 allows us to temporarily suspend a sitting. The practice has been that when we have a matter of serious importance like the one we are about to discuss, so that we can give us some time...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have just pressed my button now, but I have no problem being the first one. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this exercise that we are doing is only done once in five years. That means this formula will be with us for five years and will...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the numbers are based on Kshs405 billion. Remember, I started by saying the Committee should have done us a favour by also publishing the simulation based on the CRA formula, which they did not do. We have gone ahead to get the simulation ourselves. Let me proceed....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very thorough in what I do. I have done my research very well.

As you demonstrate, pick one big county or three that have also lost, because a number of counties--- Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am just demonstrating the points here.

I am demonstrating the point here using the counties that I have listed, but I have done the simulation for all the 47 counties---

There are counties which are losing under CRA. I am trying to say is that even as we go for another formula, let us not have a huge loss from the CRA formula compared to the Committee formula. That is the point I am bringing.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying that because the formula that the Committee is proposing to us has two components. It is taking Kshs387 billion, which was based on the Third Basis as a base, and then sharing the remaining Kshs12 billion and applying a basic share in this formula.I...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.110 (1) , I beg to move that debate on this Motion be now adjourned. We have been engaged in serious consultations with the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget and the leadership of this House, and we...

Madam Temporary Speaker, when you talk about the Employment Act, the amendment to this is basically trying to define the keywords like who is an employee, who is an employer and other terms like business process outsourcing. It also sets out the obligation of business process outsourcing companies. These are...

As we support the passage of this Schedule, we are concerned that the National Treasury has continuously failed to honour the Schedule that this House has developed, putting service delivery in counties into jeopardy. By failing to follow the Disbursement Schedule, the National Treasury is continuously accumulating pending bills in...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was listening to my senior and neighbour, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, very keenly. This weekend, I had an opportunity to visit the place where the refinery is being constructed. It is a big complex. At that place, all the gold in this country, including from my...

Sen. Cherarkey, you have raised your point of order. Yes, Sen. Boni Khalwale.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105. The Chairperson has indicated that the counties do not get money because the minerals that are mined in those counties are mined in informal arrangements. I would like to say that in my county, the Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue...

Then do not dwell on the merits and demerits. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am simply giving reasons why we need to consult more. I thank you. Thank you. Next is Sen. Mandago.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am simply giving reasons why we need to consult more. I thank you.

This Bill also provides a very good framework for promoting good governance and ethical conduct in co-operatives. This is one of the measures to try and deal with the challenges that we have seen in the co-operative movement such as looting, stealing and corruption.Most importantly, this Bill seeks to have...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my comments on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 10 of 2025) .

During the period under review, the Committee faced a challenge regarding...
