SHAME ON YOU WRITING LETTERS &SENDING THEM TO SPEAKER FOR CHEAP PUBLICITY IS WHAT KANGATA USED TO DO

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]you last year and pretended that this is not the only amount that we are taking to the counties and if I remember well honorable was speaking about a figure of 476 billion it's in the hands and therefore honorable speaker in the same spirit using honorable dinoro's words I had just said when I was moving there is some 8.94 billion that had been left out in the bill by both houses therefore 420 the honorable danger Joro is simply being intellectually dishonest because he knows and there is no more dangerous thing than when those who ought to know better seek to misinform the country for political gain.

[00:00:45]Honorable speaker because the honorable knows that 428 billion as proposed is not the only money that goes to counties to honorable speaker to remind honorable Junet and to inform him that when we sat with him under the broad-based government arrangement part of the 10point agenda is to progressively move the sharable revenue to even beyond 450 billion and we are on cause and we are working on that honorable speaker but we must also be reasonable as leaders and that's why I said honorable speaker earlier that this is such a time that calls for leadership not political posturing the easiest thing to do is to posture politically that is why honorable speaker the honorable dinoro will purport to be writing to you to recall the house when he knows he cannot recall even the moranga county assembly leave alone the national assembly and it is good that in the cler's advice to the honorable He informed him that even if you were to recall the house honorable speaker, this house ideally would have sat today.

[00:01:57]Looking at the dates when he wrote the letter, if he were the leader of majority or the leader of minority was he to recall the house, the house would have sat today, the same day we are supposed to resume business. Therefore, honorable speaker, I don't want to call my brother dishonest, but political posturing is a very dangerous thing at a time when the nation calls for leadership.

[00:02:23]>> Oh, then wind up your point of >> Yeah, Mr. Speaker, first I want to wind up by thanking the former chair of budget and the majority leader >> Kin the majority leader for informing me, Mr. speaker properly on issues that I think are important. Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, I want to say that honorable is talking about governors. We are not discussing here governors. Which governor is going to get what and what that will come in the other in in Dora and the one that is the one that is coming from the Senate. Mr. Speaker, as the majority leader has affirmed here, we are on course as the broad-based government because we have increased the revenue share sharable revenue from 318 to 450.

[00:03:11]>> What you have done is is not right on >> speaker. The covenant agreement between us in the broad-based government that is one of them is to strengthen devolution and Mr. speaker that is why in the last financial year we increased it by 30 a whooping 30 billion shillings Mr. Speaker in one financial year and as the majority said 420 420 what is being proposed now is not the only money that is going to counties we are going to make the staff the workers who have been working in the for the counties now permanent and pensionable in the new budget Mr. speaker is going to cost the government 9 billion again. There are conditional grants that are going to go to the counties. Mr. Speaker, in total counties will get close to 500 billion shillings. Mr. Speaker, let not posture politically. Let him wait for the mediation to happen.

[00:04:10]>> Okay. Point made.

[00:04:15]Honorable speaker, I actually never needed to be informed and actually have no time for those forities and filibustering.

[00:04:23]And honorable speaker, it is important because they have brought up even as I got to the conclusion about bringing some favoritities about who needed to call what and write to which letter to the speaker. Honorable speaker, we need to be honest to the Kenyan people. Face them honestly.

[00:04:40]Honorable speaker, we have we now have a situation in this country where the government joined opposition and the opposition joint government. Honorable speaker that even as we listen here the majority side and the minority side leadership honorable speaker are require singing the same song. Honorable speaker, honorable speaker in such a house of debate, there must be alternative voices. Honorable speaker, honorable speaker, we are lying to ourselves, honorable speaker and to the Kenyan people that in this house there is a minority side and the majority side. There is none honorable speaker.

[00:05:15]Honorable speaker >> Mr. Speaker, at the beginning of this session, you did do a communication to the house >> and for the honorable member for Kiharu to call what the process is foli frivality is in fact an insult to the house an insult to yourself an insult to the rules and procedures of this house.

[00:05:43]Mr. Speaker, THERE IS NO WAY the rules of this house can be frivolities. And I think it would be in order for my good friend honorable deoro to at least respect the house if not the people in the house by withdrawing what he has said because these cannot be frivalities. Mr. Speaker, will you wind up >> honorable speaker going back to the debate. I just call upon all of us honorable speaker to be honest to ourselves. We need our county government to provision health care services. We need honorable speaker our county governments to provision all the devote functions and give quality service to the same same people we represent.

[00:06:25]Honorable speaker this cannot done through politics. When we talk about substantive issues about money honorable speaker this is not about politics and even if it's about politics and the Kenyan people benefit so be it.

[00:06:38]Honorable speaker my take is this. There is 420 billion Kenya shieldings on the table and I needed no information from anyone to tell me that you also be debating the debate about quotational grants. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the motion on the table and the motion is about sharable revenue that we are sitting here. We have seen a climb in terms of an increase of budget entire in entirety. We are reading now a budget of 4.2 trillion Kenya shieldings. But we come to this house and we want our county governments to still get the same money they got last year in a situation where inflationary pressures alone have taken real money out of their pockets.

[00:07:23]Honorable speaker, we must debate on respectively honorable speaker that yes, as we propose the 420 billion Kenya shillings that even the Senate is entitled to ask for the 34 billion Kenya shillings. We must meet somewhere.

[00:07:38]Honorable speaker because this is not about that specific governor. It is about the Kenyan people. I submit honorable speaker.

[00:07:47]>> Yes. uh >> this I had advised to the house that seeing what I see this matter is headed to mediation and if it is that's what resolves the divergence of opinions between the two houses and that being the case you have an opportunity to deal with the mediated version when it comes And this being the case also once we pass this order number 16 will collapse.

[00:08:25]So do we need really need to flog this?

[00:08:29]>> No. The mover to be called upon to reply since there has been debate. One minute mover.

[00:08:37]Thank you speaker. Speaker as I reply honorable speaker. It is good to indicate as you have rightly put it that what is being said here is premature >> and the leader of minority had aptly captured it >> because honorable speaker the 420 billion is what has been proposed the mediation process is a give and take process >> doesn't mean that that is the end of it >> the mediation process is when we come as leaders and agree that it is possible to increase from 420 not to 454. What is the reasonable figure?

[00:09:24]>> Yes, honorable speaker, anytime the leader of minority can inform me.

[00:09:28]>> Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the distinguished majority leader that Mr. Speaker, last year, last financial year, the same bill went for mediation. And when it was when it went to mediation, the proposed amount to counties was 395 or 94. It is the mediation committee that recommended 400 and took it to 415 billion. I don't know why the member of parliament for Kiharu is jumping the gun and saying the house must have alternative voice which he did not have two years ago. He had only one voice last year before he was removed as chairman of budget committee. He was only on one voice. Now he wants to take my job as the minority leader. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, let him go and contest that small party of his then he will become minority leader. He can't take my job.

[00:10:17]Honorable speaker, uh I am well informed that it is and is actually true that we got to 420 out of a mediation process and that is what we are inviting the house to do to go through a mediation process where we will nominate very serious members of this house. Very serious members. Not members who walk in for one minute to come and make political statements, record on Tik Tok and circulate out there.

[00:10:48]>> Serious members who sit in committees, >> articulate issues, >> weigh issues and come up with a decision that is good for devolution, that is good for this country and for a time such as this when the nation calls for leadership.

[00:11:11]Finally, honorable speaker, frivolities, frivolities, honorable speaker, is when an elected member of this house, knowing very well the provisions of our standing order, standing order 29, particularly on the recall of the house in engaging in frivolous activities, does a letter to the speaker knowing very well that he has no such powers.

[00:11:42]And before even the speaker receives that letter in his office, the member in his usual frivolous nature has circulated that letter on social media, leaked it to media houses in this country to make the house look bad. I would dare say shame on you.

[00:12:00]>> Shame on you >> because we have we have seen these things from a previous senator of Moranga. You do letters and sneak them >> to the media. If you write to the speaker as a dignified member of this house, write to the speaker, wait for the speaker to reply to you because the speaker, as you indicated, honorable speaker, you directed the clerk to inform the member that in line with our standing orders, it is only the leader of minority who could do that or the leader of majority. But more importantly, honorable speaker was what was pointed out in your reply in your communication today, which I must say was not frivolous. You are reminding the member of Kiharu to read his standing orders that even if you are to recall the house, the house would have sat today, the same day the house was coming into session. I will invite the member for Kiharu to sit around this time have the patience to listen to proposals by the distinguished member for the chair of the transport and infrastructure committee and another distinguished high-ranking member of this house the honorable Garia who have sponsored that motion and contribute to how we can move this country forward and leave alone political posturing for the sake of uh frivolous politics out there. We will have time to deal with your frivolous politics out there when the time comes. I beg to reply.

[00:13:33]>> Honorable members, I'll now put the question at order number 15, which is that the Senate amendments to the division of revenue bill National Assembly Bill number two of 2026 be now considered. As members of that say, I >> I will those of the condo say nay.

[00:13:55]The Naz have it.

[00:13:58]Honorable members, that being the case, order number 16 exits from the order paper and dies there.

[00:14:10]Order. Honorable member take your seat.

[00:14:14]Honorable members, allow me to acknowledge in the public gallery Mutuma Secondary School from Gatundu North Ku.
