Senate · Afternoon Sitting

Clerk, do we have quorum? Serjeant-at- Arms, ring the Quorum Bell for 10 minutes. We have quorum now. Clerk, call out the first order.

[(The Quorum Bell was rung)]

[(The Clerk-at-the-Table consulted the Deputy Speaker)]

[(Loud consultations)]

Hon. Senators, I want to reorganise the business of the day. We skip Order No.8 and then move on to Order No.9 as it appears on our Order Paper. So, Clerk, proceed to call Order No.9. The Chairperson, County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), please proceed to move.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, the Senate adopts the Reports of the Select Committee on County Public Accounts on the consideration of the Reports of the Auditor-General on the Financial Statements for Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, Taita-Taveta, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo, Meru, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Kitui, Machakos, Makueni, Nyandarua, Nyeri…

[(Volume I and II)]

We had a few challenges before I get to the content of the report that is before us. We have two reports. One report is about 2,300 pages long. It is a detailed report of audit issues identified in each county government. It contains the observations of the Auditor- General, the response of the management, and the recommendation of the Senate. However, the more useful report that I would wish to d…

Sorry, Sen. M. Kajwang’. Sen. Cherarkey, please familiarize yourself with Standing Order No.117. You should not stand between the Senator speaking and the Chair. If you need to consult about those documents, please carry them to your seat.

[(Sen. Cherarkey proceeded to take his seat.)]

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The county assemblies ought to have considered all these reports because primary oversight is exercised at the county assembly level. In our consideration of the reports, we did not come across any county assembly that had already considered the reports. It would appear as if our brothers and sisters in county assemblies have absconded their primary oversight ro…

million would probably sink eight wells. However, they paid that for insurance and the vehicles are not moving. That is in the report. Nairobi City County spends Kshs146 million to pay salaries for former Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) staff after expiry of their contract. Further, Kilifi County paid Kshs71.5 million to legal firms without proper authorization. Kilifi County went ahead and pa…

assembly chamber, another one sits under a tree and says that it is assembly mashinani. The governor chooses to send his budget to the assembly that sits under a tree and not the assembly that sits in the assembly precincts. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is madness and I think that Kenyans have been tolerant for too long. We now need to send out very strong messages and strong recommendations on …

[(Loud consultations)]

I do not know why they are jittery when I talk about the misdeeds of their governors. I will spill more.

I think it is because you said “finally”, yet they want to hear more, especially about their counties.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I look at the other fiduciary risk, I will give examples of other counties. The other fiduciary risk identified by the PBO is pending bills. The total stock of pending bills as per the Auditor-General's report--- We have a problem because the Controller of Budget’s report does not agree with the Auditor-General's report.

Sometimes, the county governments cannot tell you what the exact pending bill is because they have set up task forces, which review the work of previous task forces. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to the reports of the Auditor-General, pending bills increased from Kshs163 billion in the prior year to Kshs179 billion in this financial year. Nairobi City County leads the pack with pending bills…

County, 50 or 52 per cent. They are all abusing the requirements of the PFM. Can this House resolve that we stop transfer of funds for counties that cannot be fiscally responsible until they bring a recovery action plan as required under Article 225 and subsequent legislation? That is the decision of the House. We have made those recommendations. Could this House bring back the fiscal responsibil…

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when it comes to revenue collection systems, governors have decided that they do not want to be dictated to by the national Government because they want to buy their own little revenue collection systems that have algorithms that deposit money into their accounts. This House must resolve that the Auditor-General should do a special systems audit on the revenue collection …

Turkana County had Kshs85 million of unsurrendered imprest, Samburu had Kshs39 million of unsurrendered imprest, Mombasa County had Kshs25 million and Kakamega County, where Sen. Bonnie comes from, had Kshs18 million lying in the hands of officers and not surrendered. The PFM Act makes imprest management clear on who bears responsibility and we have made those recommendations. Mr. Deputy Speaker,…

though we adopted this report by consensus as a committee, we do agree that some of the recommendations could be generic. Some of them could be fairly timid in nature. In some cases, we are calling for administrative action where it is clear that perhaps there was theft. In other cases, we are calling for regularisation of processes where the process was illegal ab initio. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir…

have decided that they will file written responses. However, what the Constitution requires us to do by 31st of March is to debate, consider and take appropriate action. I am calling upon the House. As far as appropriate action is concerned, the right thing to do is to treat this as our interim recommendation, but the detailed analysis and detailed enquiries can still be pursued by the relevant c…

Sen. Mwaruma, proceed.

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa hii fursa umenipa ili kuunga mkono Hoja ya kuidhinisha Ripoti ya Kamati ya Bunge ya Uhasibu wa Fedha za Umma katika Kaunti. Majukumu ya Seneti imenukuliwa katika Ibara ya 96 ya Katiba ya Kenya. Ibara hii inasema kuwa kazi yetu ni kulinda magatuzi.

Tunahimiza na kusukuma kaunti kuhakikisha ya kwamba zinafuata kanuni ili fedha zinazotumika kulipa wafanyikazi iwe ni asilimia 35 ama chini yake. Kaunti nyingi zinalipa mishahara za wafanyikazi kupitia nje ya mfumo wa Integrated Personnel and Payroll Database (IPPD) ambao unatumika kulipa wafanyikazi wote wa Serikali.

Hon. Senators, I have the following Communication to make. I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Public Gallery this afternoon of 376 visiting students and eight teachers from Sawagongo Boys High School in Siaya County. The delegation is in the Senate for a one-day academic exposition.

In our usual tradition of receiving and welcoming visitors to Parliament, I extend a warm welcome to the delegation and, on behalf of the Senate and on my own behalf, wish them a fruitful visit. I thank you. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu Odinga, due to time constraints, within 30 or 40 seconds, you can welcome the visitors from Siaya County.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I take this opportunity to welcome the students from Sawagongo Secondary School in Gem, Sub-County of Siaya County. I want to tell the House that this is a very good school. It is a post-colonial secondary school, which has been performing very well. As I stand here, I am very proud of the school. Last year, the school improved its performan…

[(Applause)]

Thank you. The Senate Majority Leader, you may proceed.

Chairperson, of the Senate Standing Committee on County Public Accounts (CPAC) , in the same spirit, you will save some time as you move. The seconder should also take less time.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the Motion that, the Senate adopts the reports of the Select Committee on County Public Accounts, on the

consideration of the reports of the Auditor-General on the financial statements, for Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi, Tana River, Lamu, Taita-Taveta, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo, Meru, Tharaka-Nithi, Embu, Kitui, Machakos, Makueni, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Murang’a, Kiambu, Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Nandi, Baringo, Laikipia, Nakuru, Narok, Ka…

speaker, they appoint a temporary speaker who will come from Members. Then, the temporary speaker takes over as the chair of the County Assembly Service Board, notwithstanding the fact that every County Assembly Service Board has a vice chairperson, who ought to take over in the absence of a substantive speaker. This is a matter that really is about good governance, but perhaps it needs to be capt…

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chairperson. The report on the county assemblies is a straightforward matter. County assemblies concentrate more on recurrent expenditure than development expenditure. As the Chairperson said, we, as a committee, need these entities to appear before us to get the second bite to the cherry as these entities explain their expenditure. The Nandi County…

to challenge county assemblies to do their oversight work as it should. For example, in Nandi County, under Governor Sang, this is the headquarters of corruption in the Western Hemisphere. In the previous financial year, there was a payroll scandal. In that scandal, even close relatives of the governor were found. The EACC came with razzmatazz and took computers. No one, including a close relativ…

However, you make arrangements so that the Chair knows the Cabinet Secretary is providing car hire services in Nandi. I am not completely aware. Before I ask Senators to contribute to the Motion, I want to make this communication about visiting students from Waso Muslim JSS School in Samburu County.

[(Question proposed)]

[(Interruption of debate on Motion)]

Hon. Senators, I would like to acknowledge the presence in the Public Gallery this afternoon of 68 students and five teachers from Waso Muslim J.S.S. School in Samburu County. The delegation is in the Senate for a one-day academic exposition. In our usual tradition of receiving and welcoming visitors to Parliament, I extend a warm welcome to the delegation and wish them a fruitful visit, both on …

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate this golden chance to welcome my fellow young people from Samburu East, Samburu County, to the Senate. I hope you are having the time of your life. I know seldom do we get young people from Samburu County visiting Parliament and I would like to encourage more of you to be visiting so that you see these things for yourself. I am very proud to see yo…

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join you and the Senate to welcome students and teachers from Waso Muslim Secondary School in Samburu County. Today, we are considering very important matters that concern our counties, particularly the reports of the Auditor-General on how our people or how our leaders in our counties are implementing programmes that are funded using public funds to make sure that servi…

[(Resumption of debate on Motion)]

Thank you. So now, Senators, I will now open the Floor for debate. I will start with Sen. Oginga Oburu.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. This is a very important debate because this is one of our fundamental functions as a Senate and as Parliament to oversight the Executive and to oversight, generally, the expenditure of public funds. In Uganda, they take it so seriously such that in the Public Accounts Committee that I attended, there is a policeman from the CID sitting tog…

[[The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Wakili Sigei) in the Chair]]

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we also expect them to do their proper function of primary oversight in their counties, which we are also informed by the Chairperson of the CPAC that they do not do. They leave almost everything to the Senate and the National Assembly to do the oversight functions, which is primarily theirs. I also want to emphasize the need for the county assemblies to have autonomy.…

Sen. Oburu, I can give you one more minute to just conclude on your comments.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I conclude by just stressing the importance of having the autonomy of the county assemblies and stress that they should continue to do their primary oversight. It will make our work here much easier if they do proper oversight on their own. I thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion. As we continue sending money to the county governments, I think we should be very keen on our role as the Senate to oversight. Before we even engage in our role, we have seen the auditor's report. Specifically, we have seen so many things that I do not want to repeat. We have seen the unbudgeted expenditures in…

(Inaudible)

I withdraw that comment but they are forced to do---

Sen. Chesang’, your time is up. Sen. Kamau Githuku.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Report. I want, first of all, to congratulate the team led by the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay because of the exemplary job that they have done of scrutinizing both the county governments and the county assemblies. The issue of pending bills is like a thorn in the flesh. The issue of p…

With that, hon. Members, I call upon the Mover to reply.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply and thank all my colleagues who have made their comments. I also assure the House that, given the opportunity to follow up these matters, we shall do it in a manner that respects the authority and constitutional mandate of county assemblies. We know that they are distinct and that they are constitutional entities. When we are seeking accountability from t…

Thank you, Sen. M. Kajwang’. On the request of the Chairperson of the CPAC, putting of the question is deferred to the next sitting.

[(Putting of the Question on the Motion Deferred)]

Clerk, call the next Order

[[The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Wakili Sigei) left the Chair] [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) in the Chair]]

The Chairperson, County Public Investment and Special Fund Committee (CPIC) , you may proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move- THAT, the Senate adopts the Reports of the Select Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds on the consideration of the Audit Reports for the Financial Year 2023/2024 for Diani, Eldoret, Iten, Kapsabet, Kakamega, Kilifi, Kisii, Kinango, Kwale, Lamu, Lunga Lunga, Malindi, Mumias, Mwatate, Nyamira, Voi and Wote municipalities, laid on…

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as for the issue of even staffing, we find that most of the municipalities do not have staff of their own. They have staff who have been seconded from the county executive, which, again, is contrary to the provisions of the Urban Areas and Cities Act. Municipalities are also struggling with bookkeeping issues, accuracy and compliance to the International Public Sector Acc…

appointed. We have, therefore, directed the Governor to immediately comply with the law and have a city manager and board for Eldoret City, so that the residents can enjoy the benefits of good governance. Because of time, allow me to request Sen. Tobiko, who is a member of the Committee, to second.

Sen. Peris Tobiko.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise to second the Motion as moved by the Chairman. I will not repeat much of what he has detailed on the Floor. Being a first-time member of the Committee, there is so much I have learnt from the audit reports on municipalities, water companies and referral hospitals in various counties. In particular, there is no autonomy in municipali…

[[The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Wakili Sigei) in the Chair]]

Senator, your time is up. Hon. Senators, I will allow two Members to make their contributions to this Motion. I will start with a Member who has not had an opportunity to speak in the day. Sen. Karungo Thang’wa.

[(Question proposed)]

Thank you very much, Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to support the Report.

For purposes of housekeeping, Sen. Thang’wa, you have three minutes to make your comments to this Motion.

Thank you. I am a former Member of this Committee and I was part of the team that scrutinised the reports. In support of this Report, municipalities were formed to devolve service delivery further. The problem we have encountered is that there is no political goodwill especially from governors. Governors are afraid that managers can provide better management of cities and municipalities than they …

If you look at the County Governments Budget Implementation Review Report, first hand, 2024/2025, you will see that the own-source revenue performances for Kiambu, Bungoma, Kajiado, Kisumu, Bomet and Machakos counties, fell below the 20 per cent. However, if they were to give independence to the municipality boards and the managers in Kiambu, Kisumu and Machakos counties, we would not be talking …

Your time is up, Sen. Thang’wa. Hon. Members, from my dashboard, there is no Member who is keen on contributing to this particular Motion. I will, therefore, ask Sen. Osotsi, the Mover of the Motion to reply. Sen. Onyonka has just made a request. I will give you three minutes to make your contribution.

[(Sen. Onyonka spoke off record)]

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for accommodating me. I am not going to discuss what my colleagues have said. Instead, I am going to make recommendations. I sat in the Committee chaired by Sen. M. Kajwang’. The team was very good and we did an excellent job. I have also sat with Sen. Osotsi, and I have watched and seen how that Committee works. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are discussin…

procurement. The Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) has voiding. People are not being paid pending bills that we keep talking about over and over. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a problem with the Road Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF) and the Ward funds. We also cannot agree on whether Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) or Kenya Nation…

Thank you, Sen. Onyonka. Sen. Osotsi, you may now proceed to reply.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Members who have contributed to this debate and wish to reply. Pursuant to Standing Order No.66 (3) , I request that putting of the Question be deferred until a later time.

Thank you, Sen. Osotsi. Pursuant to Standing Order No.66, the putting of the Question as regards to the Motion is deferred to a later time. Clerk, you may call Order No.12. Chairperson, Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds, Sen. Osotsi, proceed to move.

Sen. Peris Tobiko, please, proceed.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second.

Hon. Senators, I now propose the Question.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply and request that pursuant to Standing Order 66 (3) , the putting of the Question be deferred.

Thank you, Sen. Osotsi. Pursuant to Standing Order 66, we defer the putting of the Question to a later time. We will call Order No.13. Clerk, please proceed.

[(Putting of the Question on the Motion deferred)]

Sen. Osotsi, Chairperson Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds, proceed to move the Motion.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Stores management- Issues of stock out, delays and expired drugs were common in these hospitals. We also had the issues of accuracy, errors and bookkeeping, as far as financial statements are concerned. There were issues of non-remittance of statutory deductions, budgetary control and performance and non-transfer of assets. Most of these hospitals do not even have asset register. Mr. Temporary S…

Sen. Tobiko, proceed to second this Motion.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the interest of time, I second.

Hon. Senators, I propose the Question. Again, similar to the previous Motion, in the absence of Members interested in making additional comments to this, I will call upon the Chairperson, Sen. Osotsi, to reply.

[(Question proposed)]

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the same vein, I beg to reply and request that, pursuant to Standing Order No.66 (3) , the putting the Question be deferred--- We are voting for it now. So, I beg to reply.

[(Putting of the question on the Motion deferred)]

Hon. Members, having concluded on those Motions, we will proceed to Division. I will, therefore, ask the Serjeant-at-Arms to ring the Quorum Bell for--- The Senate Majority Leader, what is your point of order? Give the Majority Leader the microphone, Clerk.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg for your indulgence. There is another critical matter we are handling.

We would like to request that you allow the Mover to reply in 30 seconds also, so that we vote for it together.

Which one is this, the Senate Majority Leader?

It is the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2025) . The Mover had not replied. I actually moved the Bill. I wish to reply in 30 seconds, then we vote together with all the six.

Majority leader, I take note of your intervention. Sen. Olekina was indeed on the Floor when the House rose at 1.00

Hon. Members, at the end of the debate in the morning session, Sen. Olekina was on the Floor, and he had 16 minutes to conclude his contribution. I notice that Sen. Olekina is not present in the Chamber, so the 16 minutes are forfeited. I have received requests from Sen. Tabitha Mutinda and Sen. Osotsi. Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, proceed.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, because I am the Vice chairperson of this Committee, and this Bill is critical, I wanted to highlight that we have set aside the issue of RMLF because I saw members looking at the schedule, where monies have been disbursed for the roads. I wanted to clarify that we have set those funds aside because of the court case and ensured that all the other allocations have been put …

Now, I call upon the Mover, the Majority Leader, to reply.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

Thank you, members. I now ask the Serjeant-at-Arms to ring the Division Bell for five minutes. Clerk, can you confirm that we now have a quorum? Order Member! Serjeant-at- Arms, you may close the door and draw the bar. Order, Hon. Members. For this, we are going to start with Order No.8 Deputy Speaker, take your seat. Hon.
