Honourable Members, there is an invitation from the second arm of the government, that is,

the executive arm. This is invitation to the launch of the County internship programme.

Allow me, honourable Members, to do this communication as it is.

„You may already be aware that the County government of Uasin Gishu has been running the

process aimed at establishing the County internship programme to assist young Kenyans of

this County by way of engaging them in assignments to occupy them and, at the same time,

provide a work place training to enhance their skills gained during their formal learning

process. This is in line with the spirit of the programme team capacity building for a secured

future‟. Having finalised the establishment of the same, honourable Members, the County

government has scheduled to have the launch of this programme officially which will be

officiated by His Excellency the Governor at the County headquarters ground on Friday 10th

August 2018 at 9.00 AM. The purpose of this communication, honourable Members, is

therefore to request and to convey invitation to the office of the honourable Speaker with the

6. PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT

Strategic Priorities

Mr. Speaker Sir, in the department of public service management the department intends to

undertake the following capital projects in the FY 2018/19: Equip the staff gymnasium;

construct an Archive; equip the 3 sub- county service centres; construct and equip a legal

library; and construct and equip a Resource Centre as indicated below:

Summary of the Capital Development

[Hon Muya]: Projects for the Financial Year 2018/2019 – public service management, sub

programme.

Deputy Speaker: Order, Honourable Muya!

Hon. Muya: Yes!

Deputy Speaker: I want to give you direction that you just give the strategic priorities

because Honourable Members have the other part.

Hon. Muya: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Taken. I know I had initially stated that the Report is

detailed but I take your direction that I give only what the priorities of every department are

because we have this Report with us and that will really save on time. I stand guided.

Deputy Speaker: Proceed.

Hon. Muya: Honourable House through Mr. Speaker, I would like to take us through page

number five; on seven that is on the department on Devolution and Public Administration and

these are the strategic priorities of the department.

The department intends to undertake the following capital projects for the Financial Year

2018/2019. They intend to complete and equip Sub-county offices for Ainabkoi, Kapseret

and Moiben; construct and equip Sub-county offices for Kesses, Turbo and Soi; construct

ward offices for 24 wards and purchase vehicles for 24 wards.

The detailed Report on what they intend to do as read is included on the below Report which

Members can go through at their convenient time because all of us have gone through this

Report. I was just reading to make sure that we have done what we are supposed to do.

Now I take the Whole House to page number six on the department of Roads, Transport,

Energy and Public Works. This being the backbone department of the whole county these are

strategic priorities by the department. The strategic priorities for the department include:

improvement of access to Transport and Infrastructure in the County, in order to enhance

safety in transport sector, improve access to office space and occupational safety to enhance

capacity to prevent and respond to fire disaster and other emergencies and carry out

emergencies awareness campaign. It will undertake the following programmes in Financial

Year 2018/2019 as indicated below. This being the backbone department, I will urge all

Honourable colleagues to keenly go through the said works as intended by the department at

your convenient time because this is where the life of common mwananchi is being touched

or addressed at. It will be good for you so that when you are doing your oversight role, you

know what was supposed to be done where.

I now take the Whole House to page number eight on department of Water, Environment,

Natural Resources, Tourism and Wildlife Management. The department intends to do the

following in their strategic priorities, including and carry out energy planning, regulations,

operations and development and expansion of rural electrification, implement water pollution

control and carry out water and sanitation services, implement county water conservation and

forestry policy, have efficient solid waste management programme - as you know the

department had taken a delegation all the way to Sweden and we are underway to implement

the same - increase access to clean and portable water, increase access to clean energy,

increase available water volumes through storage, as you are aware we have been hardly hit

by water shortage necessitating the company by the name ELDOWAS, which is 100% owned

by this County Government to do water rationing but the department is trying to increase the

available water volumes through storage and recycle solid waste.

It will undertake the following programmes in Financial Year 2018/2019 as indicated below.

Again I really request my Honourable colleagues to take their time, go through and see one

by one the programmes that are intended to be done. Otherwise under the leadership of the

Budget and Appropriation Committee, we have gone through the same together and it is for

the benefit of your consumption of what is intended to be done in the various programmes as

it has been indicated so that when you are doing your oversight role you can know what you

are overseeing.

Mr. Speaker, allow me now to take the House to page number… the department of Water

has so many programmes; you can see that is in page number 8,

9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 and 20. That is why I am inviting other Honourable

colleagues to take your time, go through all those pages to see each and every programme as

it has been intended by our able department- the department of Water, Environment, Tourism

and the like.

I invite now my Honourable colleagues to page number 21 where we are going to go through

the department of Health Services to see what they have put as their strategic priority. The

strategic priorities for the department of Health Services for the coming Year that is Financial

Year 2018/2019 include: completion of the Sub-County Hospital to enhance access to quality

health care, ensure adequate supply of medical equipment and drugs to all health facilities

and improve mobility of health field officers.

In particular the department will undertake the following development programmes as

indicated below. Again this is one of the very important departments in the county

government of Uasin Gishu and it will be prudent for Honourable colleagues - though

previously together we have gone through the programmes - but individually you need to go

through the amended and approved Annual Development Plan (ADP) and see critically what

is going to be done where and especially from our various wards. We have Sub-county

hospitals, we have ward health facilities by the name health centres, dispensaries and the like,

and this is all going to be done so that we can improve the health services in our county

government of Uasin Gishu. You all know that when we are going to have a healthy

population it will be very easy for us to serve them. You can go through page number 21,

page number 22 and partly page number 23 and we see the programmes that are intended to

be undertaken by the Committee of Health Services for your own consumption.

Honourable Speaker, allow me to invite my Honourable colleagues to page number 23 so that

we can see the strategic priorities that have been put by the department of Trade, Investment

and Industrialization. The department strategic priorities include: improving development of

fair trade practices, promoting development of sound cooperative societies, providing low

interest funds to cooperatives and SMEs, developing and marketing county tourism products

and enhancing market infrastructure development. The department‟s strategic priorities for

the implementation are presented under each major area of intervention below. This is

another department that, with devolution of government, the county government of Uasin

Gishu intends to energize more or to put more energies on this department because the only

way to empower our people is through making sure that they have a conducive environment

to do their businesses, to empower them financially and more so to encourage our people to

do any kind of trade, whether big or small by us as a government providing for them the

necessary environment for them to do so. Therefore because we agreed that we are not going

to read everything, I also invite Honourable colleagues just to affirm what we have gone

through together that you see what is intended to be done by Trade, Investment and

Industrialization department. In pages number 23, 24, 25 and 26 this is for us to equip

ourselves or to internalize what is supposed to be done in this department for us to be able to

do our over sight role so that by the end of the Financial Year, we will be able to know what

has been done and what has not be done.

Mr. Speaker, allow me now to invite my whole colleagues and the whole House to page

number 27 on the department of Education, Culture and Social Services. This is a department

that has been partially - not fully devolved to the county governments and we have strategic

priorities for the department. The departments strategic priorities for the Financial Year

2018/2019 have been indicated to include: ECD infrastructure development, preservation of

the county cultural heritage and improve the live hood of people living with disabilities, that

is, PWDs and the aged; and to enhance child rights, care and protection and enhance access

and equity of education for disadvantaged and vulnerable children through provision of

bursaries. These are to be implemented through the following programmes as shown below.

Again this is a department that has really touched our county or the residents of Uasin Gishu.

Through this department we have seen all what has been done here but in this Financial Year

the department would want to scale it or do it in another level to make sure that it continues

serving the people of Uasin Gishu in the said works more so in the PWDs. We all know that

disability is not inability and the county government of Uasin Gishu is trying to address

critically this area to make sure that they have been addressed or they have been brought

together. It is only the other day that the county government through the CEO, the Governor

of Uasin Gishu H.E. Jackson Mandago with the help of the County Public Service Board,

brought people living with disabilities as employees or employed around 40 and above in

number so that they can feel part and parcel of the County government of Uasin Gishu.

Members, again you can go through page number 27, 28 and partly number 29 and see what

exactly the department intends to do in the Financial Year 2018/2019.

Mr. Speaker, allow me to invite my Honourable colleagues to page number 29, to the

department of Youth, Gender and Sports. This is a department under the department of

Education but they have specific works and these are the strategic priorities of the department

including: to enhance access to technical education and self dependency by youth through

training and improvement programmes, and develop sports through promotional sporting

activities. The programmes to be implemented are as indicated in the table below. We know

that this is the County of Champions; we are known country wide and worldwide that we are

producing different talents called… you can name them- athletes, volley-ballers, footballers

and therefore this is a department that we are putting more energy to make sure that they

address this and give a platform to our youth who have various talents so that they can be

exposed out there, so that their talents can be utilized by the whole country and the world at

large. It is so unfortunate that yesterday we lost one of our athletes by the name Nicholas Bett

through an accident who was taking 400 metres hurdles. May our God rest his good soul in

eternal peace. This is a department that we would like to put more energy. We have seen for

example the national men volleyballers Team almost the whole team comes from a particular

ward in this County by the name Kipkenyo. We salute them because we have seen us

producing very good volleyballers and it is only through financing or empowering this

department for them to make sure that they give the best to our youth. I also invite our

Honourable colleagues to individually internalize what the department needs to do in page

number 29, page number 30, page number 31 and partly page number 32 so that they can

have the programmes in their fingertips, So that when it comes to our oversight roles we

know what was to be done where, what has been done and what has not been done so that we

can put the second arm of government on toes in delivering what they have intended to do.

Mr. Speaker, the next department is the department of Livestock Development and Fisheries.

As other departments, the department has strategic priorities and the department comprises of

four directorates and two namely; livestock production, veterinary services and fisheries

directorates. The department main strategic priorities for the Financial Year 2108/2019

includes: disease control, improve dairy genetic pool of the county, improve livestock

production and productivity, improve value addition and marketing, increase fish production

and productivity. These are to be implemented through the following programmes as shown

in table number 310 one below. Uasin Gishu being the bread basket of this nation, the

department of agriculture was sub-divided into two - the department of Agriculture and the

department of Livestock Development and Fisheries but on this particular we have seen the

County government before trying to maximize or to reduce the issue of natural use of bulls by

having enough budget on the issue of AI services. This is going to serve Mwananchi in two

ways. One, to better the breeds by coming out of the old way of the normal cows to the

improved AI services and two to make sure that the milk productivity has been scaled up

because previously our old ways of doing cattle keeping was just to have a good number of

herds of cattle but we have gone a new way of Kilimo Biashara making sure that with two,

three cows we can produce better than an old farmer who was keeping 15 cattle so that we

can see whether we can be able to catch up with the Githunguri dairies and the likes. The

Committee of Livestock have visited the Ole Ngishu Dairy Farm, the Kiambu Cattle Keepers

and we would like to advocate the same in our farmers to make sure that we have bettered our

Livestock keeping and the likes.

On the Fisheries, though explained on the table below, the department has partnered with

University of Eldoret with the issue of production of fingerlings so that it can be distributed

to our various farmers who would like to do fish farming and therefore, Mr. Speaker, I am

just saying this because I want to reduce my time of contributing too much by the end of this

report.

Mr. Speaker, what the department needs to do is indicated below in pages; that is pages as

numbered below up to page No.39. All these, the department tries to show what they intend

to do. So, Mr. Speaker, allow me to invite my Honourable colleagues to page No. 40 where

I want to take them through what the department of Cooperative and Enterprises

Development intend to do.

Mr. Speaker, the strategic priorities of the department include; to provide low interest funds

to cooperatives and enterprises development. The department strategic priorities for the

implementation are presented under each major area or intervention below. Mr. Speaker,

Members will remember that the Second Government of Uasin Gishu split Cooperative and

Enterprises department from Trade so that this department can deal and empower

cooperatives better because it is out of cooperatives or through cooperatives, our parents were

able to come together, buy land, start farming and we want to scale it up to other level so that

we can see through cooperatives by the help of the County Government; can we do the value

addition because it is very wrong that every year our farmers are crying of the poor prices or

low prices of their products. But through cooperatives we want to empower them and even

teach them how they can do value addition to their products by financing them and giving

them know-how or a way to do it. This is found in page numbers 40, 41, 42, and partly page

No.43.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to urge Honourable colleagues because this is where most of us

fall, because though as Honourable Members, most of them are Members in different

Cooperatives. We would to know these issues in our fingertips so that when we go back, we

can be able to spearhead the whole process because all what we want is to help the Chief

Executive Officer (CEO) of the County; Honourable Jackson Mandago in making sure that

we empower our people by doing what is right for them for them to avoid the dependency

rate of our people, because you find that Honourable Members or elected leaders have been

serving Mwananchi in day to day life. But when we empower them, this issue will be a thing

of the past.

Honourable Speaker, allow me to invite my Honourable colleagues to page No.43 and go

through the department of ICT and E-Government. Mr. Speaker Sir, in the department of ICT

and E-Government, the department has strategic priorities for the Financial Year 2018/2019

as included below: develop policy on automation of the County function, to support the

development, implementation and maintenance of ICT system of ICT system in the County,

to enhance information security of County ICT system, to promote efficient and effective

operation and usage of ICT system within the County, to encourage and support innovation in

technology development that contributes towards jobs and wealth creation, to facilitate

efficient and economic use of resources, to ensure that technology does not become an

expensive venture to the County, to facilitate the development of ICT skills, to support ICT

system in the County, to promote efficient communication among the County staff and

stakeholders and to promote information sharing, transparency, accountability within county

and towards the general public and other stakeholders.

Mr. Speaker Sir, the following summary of capital projects for the Financial Year 2018/2019

is to be implemented as shown below. Again, Mr. Speaker, I said that I am saying what I am

saying because I would like to reduce my time that I am going to take in explaining further.

In the department of ICT and E-Government, we have moved steps as a County Government

of Uasin Gishu, to name them; the department of Health, we have Health facility where we

have automated the services fully and we have seen the time that is being saved through the

improvement or installation of the ICT programmes in the said department. The same, we

have seen how the information dissemination in the County has become possible, though

being… but through ICT, it has been made possible that in every Sub-County, we can get

what the County Government or the Executive intends to do within a day. This shows, this

just tells how we need to empower the department.

Mr. Speaker, I want to…we who are privileged to go to Singapore; this is the way to go; the

automation, the digital way of doing things. There are countries where even farming; they are

using robots to make sure that when it is milking time, they have put things in place, without

only one person, is able to coordinate all those things and things happen. That can only be

possible when we empower the department of ICT and E-Government. I know we have a way

to go but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and that is where we are

starting to empower this department so that we can see in the near future, even everything,

even controlling our traffic, it can be done through traffic lights and this comes through ICT.

It is possible because in Singapore, you do not find a policeman on the road, they have very

many vehicles but they are being controlled using traffic lights without using human resource

that is policemen in their roads. Therefore, it is good to go this way and make sure that we

empower ICT and E-Government to make sure that we do what we can though a young

country.

Mr. Speaker, Members can go through to page No.44, 45, and partly 46 and internalize what

exactly needs to be done in the department of ICT and e-Government for them to have an

easy time when it comes to doing oversight. Mr. Speaker, I now invite everyone to page No.

46 where we are going to look into the department of Lands and Housing. Mr. Speaker,

remember in this second Government, the department of Lands and Housing has been divided

into two; there is another department by the name Physical Planning and Urban Planning that

has been hived from the department of Lands and Housing.

Mr. Speaker, these are the priorities; strategic priorities the department needs to undertake.

This is by digitizing of land records; procure land for public use, complete the County spatial

plan and physical development plan. Additionally, during the Financial Year 2018/2019, the

department will prepare a County Investment plan, renovate and maintain county houses and

construct administration block for the housing section. The table below indicates the capital

projects to be undertaken by the department.

Mr. Speaker, Eldoret Town, in particular was meant to serve around 50, 000 population of

people but today as we are speaking, it is housing more than a 1, 000, 000 people at a given

day. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, this is a department that we saw it wise to relieve so that it can

deal with the lands and housing issue. It is so unfortunate; the housing that we have today is

very old because they were done so many years back by either the defunct County Council or

the Municipal Council of Eldoret. But it is a high time housing being part of the agenda 4;

therefore as a County Government, they would like to put more effort in making sure that we

do a lot in this department. There are intentions to partner with the Central Government

giving lands, what we can demolish we demolish, we come up with high-rise buildings so

that we can house more resident of Uasin Gishu using the same spaces that we have before

even thinking of adding more but the department is still thinking of doing the land banking as

it has been indicated so that the same can be done. It is possible, in a small country like

Singapore, everybody is housed, very few have their individual plots but 95 per cent of the

population of Singapore is being housed by the government. What have they done? They

have come up with modern housing unit in high rises. In fact we do not have a building in

Eldoret that can be equated or compared with the housing section that I saw in Singapore, so

it is possible. We need to partner with the national government and support the vision of the

president of Kenya Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his deputy William Samoei Ruto, who is our

son here, in making this agenda of housing our people possible, and they can start with Uasin

Gishu County. You can see what they want to do in page No.47, 48, and 49. I invite Members

to go through so that they can internalize and get to know exactly what the County

Government of Uasin Gishu or the department needs to do in the said department.

Mr. Speaker Sir, allow me to invite Honourable colleagues in page No.50 in going through

the department of Physical Planning and Urban development. This is a department that we

separated from the Lands and Housing section so that we can…because we realized or the

County Government realized this is where we have a lot to do and therefore this is a

department by its own and, Mr. Speaker, this is what the department is putting as strategic

priorities to do in the next Financial Year. Thank you, Honourable Amos.

Hon Kiptanui: Point of information!

Hon Muya: Mr. Speaker, the department intends to complete the County Spatial plan and the

Fiscal Development Plan. The table below indicates the capital projects to be undertaken by

the department by the department in the Financial Year 2018/2019. You will all know or

realize that the World Bank intends to put so much money to a tune of over sh600, 000, 000

in our County budget in making in making sure that the issue of Physical Planning and Urban

Development is realized putting in mind that after Nakuru, Uasin Gishu or Eldoret might be

the next city in our country. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, there is a lot that is going to be

undertaken to this programme and to this department and the programme has been indicated

below in page No.50, 51, 52, 53, 54 and partly page No. 55.

Mr. Speaker, I invite Honourable …you can see the many pages that include this department.

You need to take your time, go through, whatever you have gone through together is not

enough, take your time as a Member so that you can internalize what the County Government

of Uasin Gishu intends to do through this department so that it will be easier for us to do our

oversight role.

Finally, Mr. Speaker, I invite all Honourable colleagues to page No.55 on department of

Economic Planning. In this department, they have strategic priorities and these include:

preparation of the Second Generation County Integrated Development Plan which is ongoing,

ten-year sectorial plan, departmental strategic plan, County Statistical Abstract (CSA) for

2018 and County Indicator Hand book for tracking implementation of second generation

CIDP among other policy documents such as CFSP, CBROP, and CDMSP. In particular, the

department will undertake the following programme in Financial Year 2018/2019 as shown

below.

Mr. Speaker, the department of Planning, does not have any other work to implement. They

have just a core mandate of planning. A wise person says if you fail to plan, you are planning

to fail. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, we have really empowered this section because we do not

want to fail as a County for them to do all these planning in making sure that everything is in

place. A few, as they have indicated; the second generation CIDP is almost coming to an end,

it has gone even the first public participation for the Wananchi to know whether what they

said has been included. It has been taken to people living in Nairobi and elsewhere to put

their input, it has been brought to this County Assembly in a different session for us to put

our input. Therefore, it shows how this department is key in making sure that they put

planning in place, in making sure that indeed Uasin Gishu remains the Champion, not only in

sports and other issues but in everything.

Therefore Mr. Speaker, I invite Honourable colleagues to go through what has been

indicated. The department intends to do and because I do not want to take too much time, I

tried to explain as I was reading so that I do not take much time in explaining.

I want, as a Deputy Chair of Budget and Appropriation , I want just to put this or to bring

this to other Honourable colleagues that with new regulations there is no way the county

budget that we passed in this Honourable House will be actualized by the COB Controller

Of Budget if it is not in line with two documents, that is, the County Fiscal Strategic Paper

and the Annual Development Plan. Therefore, I want to give my Honourable colleagues that

this document is very important because, as we are speaking, even the county Assembly

we have not received our money. Therefore our operations have been grounded similar to

the executive , the reason this document has to accompany our budget for the COB to be able

to release the funds for the various programmes for this county.

Therefore having said much I am kindly requesting this Honourable House to pass this

document with maximum speed and with minimum delay and if possible, Mr. Speaker,

once we do this we ask or urge the office of Serjeant- at- Arms to take it to the other arm of

Government with full uniform so that they can see that we have done our part and it will be

good for us.

Therefore may be to conclude, the committee having considered the views of the sectoral

committee as well as the County executive Member of Finance Economic Planning, we

urge the House to approve the proposed County Annual Development Plan Financial 2018-

2019 with amendments.

In the department of Water, Environment, Natural Resources, Tourism and Wildlife

management, Mr. Speaker Sir, the community water projects were totalling or adding up

sh82, 100, 000 but if you spread across the wards or 30 wards that we have in this county

at sh3, 000, 000, it will not be enough. thus the committee agreed to , one, reduce sh6,

000, 000 from completion of intake water and pipeline at Kipkabus Water Project, that is,

Cheboen Dam from sh6, 350, 000 to only sh315, 000, 000, being a line item which can be

considered when we do our first supplementary budget. Two, reduce one point nine million

from construction spring communal water point and conservation from two million to

only one hundred thousand. Being a line item , this will make or will give us around sh7.9

and when you add up this with what we had , that is, the sh82, 100, 000, we get a total of

sh90, 000, 000, that if divided to the 30 wards, every ward is going to get a community

water projects of their choice of sh3, 000, 000 per ward . The community water projects

have been mentioned for the 30 wards from Cheptiret Kipchamo , Megun Ward

Kapseret/Simat, Langas, Kipkenyo, Moiben, Karuna / Meibeki , Race Course , Segero

Barsombe, Sergoit, Ngeria, Tarakwa, Soy, Tembelio, Tulwet/ Chuyat, Kapsoya,

Kamagaut, Kimumu , Ainabkoi , Tapsagoi , Huruma , Kaptagat, Moi‟s Bridge, Ngenyilel ,

Kapsaos, Kuinet/ Kapsuswo, Kiplombe, Kipsomba, Ziwa and finally Kapkures Ward. All

the 30 wards have been allocated around sh3, 000, 000 so that they can have community

projects of their own so that it can be win-win situation and, Mr. Speaker, I am urging this

Honourable House to approve this Annual Development Plan with those small

amendments. Otherwise all other departments were in line with the county Fiscal Strategy

Paper and in line with budget that we passed in this Honourable House and I am therefore

urging and requesting, on behalf of my Chair and behalf of my able committee of Budget

and Appropriation, to pass this ADP so that the COB and the executive can actualize what

we passed as the county Budget.

Therefore, Mr. Speaker, having said much, I kindly ask a Member from Budget and

Appropriation Committee by the name Honourable Amos, Member representing

Racecourse Ward to second the motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Deputy Speaker: Thank you. Honourable Member for Race Course.

Hon Kiptanui: Thank you, Honourable Speaker, for giving me this opportunity and I stand

to second this report which is meant to adopt this County Annual Development Plan for

financial year 2018- 2019 and I want to appreciate the committee and also our vice Chair

who stood on behalf of the Chair.

Mr Speaker, I just want to say that much has been said. the document is self explanatory only

that I want to say the approval of this document will assist this county to draw funds from

the ex-chequer , since it is a requirement under principle Financial Management Act 2012

that every county should come up with Annual Development Plan which prescribes the

number of programmes to be executed through the funds that we approve as per the

budget.

Mr. Speaker, I want to give assurance that this document has been aligned to the budget

that we passed before the end of the financial year and it is my humble request that now

when you look at this document, it has a number of programmes which are so good and if

by the grace of God they are going to be implemented timely, it will indeed transform the

line of people of Uasin Gishu and I want to acknowledge in the past one year we didn‟t

do a lot because of the obvious issues that we are all aware but, Mr. Speaker, I want to

believe that this time around God is going to be with us.

Deputy Speaker: Order, Honourable Member! What are the obvious reasons?

Hon Kiptanui: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to say that we all came from rigorous

elections. That is what I mean, Mr. Speaker. That is why we were not able to achieve much .

So, I want to say that let us humbly approve this report and it is now because the ball will be

in the court of the executive to implement budget for Financial Year 2018-2019 in line

and in accordance with the County Annual Development Plan Financial Year 2018-2019

approved by this House today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and I do second.

Deputy Speaker: Thank you, Honourable Member for Racecourse. A motion has been

moved, Honourable Members, and I therefore I propose a question.

(Question proposed)

Deputy Speaker: Ensuing debate, Honourable Members.

Honourable for Sergoit.

Hon Keitany: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for this opportunity. I stand to support this

motion or the report and I want to say that this being the first Annual Development Plan

that I am in and I am supporting, I want to say that it is my wish that what we have passed

today and what we have read is going to benefit all the people of Uasin Gishu county.

Apart from the water community projects which have clearly stated the amount that are

going to be allocated in every ward , most of the projects have not been stated the amount

and the places which the projects are going to be done. It is my wish that when the

executive will be implementing, let them distribute everything fairly. I am saying that

because I have seen in the department of agriculture they have already set aside around

sh15, 000, 000 for the pesticides and what I can remember, as I had said before the other

time, Mr. Speaker Sir, 2016-2017, they allocated around sh17, 000, 000 for these projects

but what I can remember, Mr. Speaker Sir , what was distributed in my ward was not

even more than sh100, 000 and when I did simple mathematics, sh17, 000, 000 if you divide

by the 30 wards I was supposed to get not less than sh500, 000 and Sergoit Ward being

among the largest wards in Uasin Gishu county and I think it is the third largest ward, I was

even expecting to get even more than five hundred, Mr. Speaker Sir, but I am not saying

that I should be given more than that but I am saying that let it be given fairly to all wards.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Member for Soy.

Hon Talam: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I rise to support this important document

so that it can go in line with the budget. I want to say that this is a document that we do not

need to hesitate; we need to go through the document and probably see areas of concern.

Like me I am standing here, Mr. Speaker, because there is a spelling error in the

projects concerning my ward and I am worried if the cheque will be issued, it will go to the

wrong place. So, I want to make that correction while I say I do support this important

motion that we do adopt this report without any further delay.

I have an observation to make again that we have seen some programmes that have been

put together like in the department of water and the areas to be done are not clearly

indicated, reflecting our various wards so in future we have to take concern of such

because we do not want situations where money is put in that pool and at the long run it

will benefit some few areas or some few sections of this ward. So, that one is what I want

to say that in future we have to see the projects captured so that each and every Member

here can a know what is to be done in his/her ward .

While concluding I want to say the project in Soy Ward we have ... that is page 59. In Soy

Ward we have Kesogon Primary to benefit under this scheme. That one is correct and then

on page 60 at the top we have a dispensary known indicated Chebesta. It is not Chebesta;

it is Chobosta; Chobosta not Chebesta. That is the correction I wanted to make, Mr. Speaker

Sir , and I stand to support. Thank you.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Member for Huruma.

Hon Chomba: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I also rise in support of his report brought to us

by our temporary Chair Honourable Muya.

(Point of order)

Hon Kiptanui: Point of Order!

Deputy Speaker: What is out of Order, Honourable Member for Racecourse?

Hon Kiptanui: Is it in Order for the Member to call another Member temporary Chair, while

we know in absence of the substantive Chair we as the committee we elected him to

present this report? He should withdraw.

Deputy Speaker: I think Honourable Member for Huruma, you are out of Order. He is the

substantive Chair for this session and for this motion. Proceed. Just apologies and proceed.

Hon Chomba: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am still learning Honourable Chair for Budget

Honourable Muya. Mr. Speaker Sir, this is a very good report I hope it is just going to

remain as just a report because where we normally fail at the end of the day is when it

comes to the implementation part of it . Otherwise if it happens exactly the way it is in this

in this report come 2022, all the elected Members in this House will be back in this

House , all the nominated Members in this House will be back in this House and maybe we

give an extension of another five years to our Excellency the Governor Jackson Mandago.

So, it will be a win-win situation .

So I support, Mr. Speaker Sir.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Member for Huruma, your sentiments are a bit

unconstitutional particularly on the period for the Members and His Excellency the

Governor. Nonetheless, you have made your submission.

Honourable Member for Ngenyilel.

Hon Singoei: Thank you, Honourable Speaker. I stand also rise in support of this report. I

support this report because it has been said by the Chair that we must pass it so that the

Controller of Budget will release the funds. Honourable Speaker, I want to….

(Point of order)

Deputy Speaker: Point of Order. Order, Honourable Member for Ngenyilel! What is out of

Order, Honourable Chomba?

Hon Chomba: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. Is our very Honourable Chief whip telling us

that he is being forced to pass this report by our Budget Chair?

Deputy Speaker: Can you substantiate that or you are still building your case?

Hon Singoei: Honourable Speaker, I did not say anything. I said I am supporting this

document because we were asked by the Chair because the Controller of Budget requires us

that we do pass this Annual Development Plan. While the Chair was presenting this report, I

looked at the dates when the committee sat and on this it says that the committee held its

sittings on 30th

and at 1st May, meaning, Honourable Speaker, they might have received

this document earlier than that. I am yet to find the date in which they received or when

this report was committed to this committee and Honourable Speaker they have sat from 1st

for very many days from 1st up to 22

nd of June and then they did not sit until 3

rd of ... I want

to believe it is July 31st

30th

at first and they sat on 1st of August.

Hon Sing’oei: Honourable Speaker, we passed our budget around 30th

June; I will be

actually wrong if I state the correct date because I don‟t have it with me but I think we

passed the budget minus this document. We are very able Members and very senior

Members in this committee. I looked at the names, and these are very able people. This

document was not passed in this assembly up to this day today, and when we actually passed

the budget I expected the Chair to apologize to this Assembly, but it has taken a special

sitting for us to come and sit and this is a very important document that the controller of

budget did not approve our budget and this is until this document is passed.

Honourable Speaker , I took it as an insult from the Chair ,when he was actually presenting

this report that he was not even able though he said he Is standing in for the Chair to

apologize for them ignoring to bring this document even having sat from May to this

honourable House to be passed so that as we pass the budget it should also accompany it. We

should not take this for granted; we should not take this lightly because this is a very grievous

mistake that this committee did. I have stood here to say I am supporting this because we

must do it otherwise, honourable Speaker. I would even have wished that these Members be

surcharged for sitting for many days and not bringing a very important document to this

House for the House to approve. It is a shame that a committee of very senior honourable

Members like his can let us down and call us while we are on recess. We were on recess

visiting our people and trying to see what is happening in the roads.

(Point of order)

Hon Kiptanui: Point of order!

Deputy Speaker: What is the point of order honourable, Member for Racecourse?

Hon Kiptanui: I am rising on a point of order because I am a Member of this committee. Mr

Speaker, is it in order for the Member to continue insulting and demeaning and also

questioning the competence of the senior Members of that committee? Looking at his

remarks it seems he has no confidence in the report and it seems he is doing it just for public

relation, I don‟t know to please who. If he is dissatisfied with the report why doesn‟t he

oppose? The issue of time is a non –issue; what is very important is the content of the report.

When we sit or the number of days they are irrelevant.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable whip

Hon Singoei: Honourable Speaker, that kind of behaviour is what actually caused this

document to be delayed ... that kind of response. They are not even still remorseful that the

Members have actually agreed to come and sit on a day they were not supposed to be here

and passed something that should have been done long time ago. They are not giving us even

a reason why it took this document, this document was sitting in their cars, this document was

sitting somewhere and when the Controller of Budget realised that even this document did

not pass the assembly, we were now called on a special sitting and told so that you can feel

happy your ward is given sh3, 000, 000. Honourable Speaker, this is a joke! And I want this

committee to stop that. I am not saying this to please anybody. I am saying this so that we

do the correct things the correct way. We cannot continue working like this! The committee

must...okay if they must stand on a point of order to just make me look like I am bad, this is

already bad. So, honourable Speaker, I want to say that let this be the last time we are doing

this. Let us pass document when they are supposed to be passed so that at least when we pass

the budget, we are given the money.

With those very many remarks, I think the Honourable Chair who was here presented what

should have been presented long time ago. It was good. I commend him because he did a

very good job but this should have been done long time ago.

Honourable Speaker, I support. Thank you.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Member for Ainabkoi/Olare. I have seen you, honourable

Member for Kimumu, then we shall conclude with one Member

Hon Hosea: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for allowing me to support this motion. I want to

congratulate the Chair for having time to go through the document. Despite the fact that, I

also support what the chief said. This committee has actually made quite a lot of mistakes -

not only this one and we do pass budgetary issues very late. When things are committed to

the House it is good for us to digest so that we don‟t go through such. Nevertheless, protect

me, Mr. Speaker..

Deputy Speaker: Proceed, honourable Member.

Hon Hosea: Nevertheless, I support the motion but on some issue as well there is a project

that has been mentioned under water: Cheboi Water Project ,which is in my jurisdiction and

this project was supposed to be a sh6, 000, 000 project and it is a project that combines two

counties - Elgeyo Marakwet County and Uasin Gishu county . The communities have

agreed; in fact planning is ongoing and even, as I talk, now the two committees of the two

counties have met today. I have seen that the money has been withdrawn, so I dint know

what I will go and tell the community. Nevertheless this is a House that has listened and

there is a promise that money will be put during supplementary budget and I wish the House

will support that as well so that his noble project can continue .

Number two, Mr. Speaker Sir, as Chair of health I know and we have discussed various

times ,that the budget or the annual work plan shows that we have funded majorly sub-

county hospitals and the money for facilities that will represent quite a lot of people come

from facilities has gone down. This financial year we will accept that as well, nevertheless

we should be able to put more effort on facilities that serve quite a number of people and

that should be noted.

Number three, Mr. Chair or the Speaker Sir, we have this morning made some amendment

in the water programmes but those amendments have not been captured here. This document

seems not to have been updated because for Ainabkoi/ Olare we have put distribution and I

think the Chair must take his work very seriously so that when he is reading these things,

they should be the things that we have agreed as per the document.

Nevertheless, Mr. Speaker Sir, I support the motion and I stand to support. Thank you.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Member for Kimumu! You will conclude, Honourable

Member for Ziwa.

Hon Malel: Thank you, honourable Speaker. I want also to thank the mover of the motion. I

am also a Member to this committee and I am happy today that we are passing the Annual

Development Plan that will enable operations‟ to take place ,I want to echo there document

because of the programmes that are in it and support it with the amendments ,in the

department of water which we really we have given them priority projects that we want to

be done in our wards.

also with the programmes in this document, honourable Speaker, majorly programmes that

I am happy today that even the public utilities, which have been invaded by the land

grabber that they don‟t really see sympathy to the public utility, are going to be fenced.

So I am seeing when these programmes will be implemented it will really save us land to

do some other projects that maybe we could have done but, because of lack of land we

would not get it. I am happy also that this department of land will also be doing some land

banking which will enable us even secure some roads for our people who don‟t have access

roads and, when this will be bought, I believe people can pass.

From the department of fisheries also I am doing a programme where the residents of this

county will be encouraged to do fish farming which will also help and enhance their health

because of the serious problems that we have currently of the life style diseases that we are

seeing on a daily basis. I believed when this community will be really encouraged to do

fish farming, I believe we shall be taking the right kind of the things and this programme

will really improve the department of Cooperatives and the Department Of Trade that has

put some little money to empower our youth our women, people living with disability. I

have seen also this is an area that when touched when it will be implemented it will really

touch the livelihood of our people. In this county you will realise, honourable Speaker, that

many of our young youth - and today you have made even a communication of the

internship programme our young youth don‟t have employment and when they have small

monies to do their own business, the y will engage in self employment and there would be

a reduction of the rate of un employment rate that is growing on a daily basis.

Honourable Speaker, I do support this report.

Deputy Speaker: Thank you, honourable Member for Kimumu. Honourable Member for

Ziwa

Hon Korir, K: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also rise to support the report this ADP. I am

also a Member of Budget and Appropriation. I want to say that the Chairman of Budget and

also the vice- Chairman and all the Members we have actually sat down on various dates as

it has been said because of one reason. The other time we passed a budget here but when

this ADP came it was not in line with the budget and that delay is not due to this

committee of budget but it was the delay that was in the other side of the executive and

when the ADP came, we found that it was not in line and then we had to set all dates so that

we could engage the department concerned so that we can advise on the ADP how could

be aligned so that it does not go to the Controller of Budget and it starts being shut down.

So, Mr. Speaker, I want o say that as a Member of budget we have really... I expected this

House to thank o the committee of budget because we spent a lot of time in pushing for the

budget of this Uasin Gishu county or this county assembly so that we don‟t have any

mistake or everything is in line with what is expected by the act and also the law and the

work .

So I wanted to say that it was not our fault; it was the fault of the other side and I want to

say in future in fact we have been saying that the next budget we are going to do, we need to

come in advance so that the ADP and whatever ... even you see you can see even the CIDP

was brought very late and we need to go to it so that we can interrogate in a proper time

everything that it contains and every Member can understand the content in that CIDP. So I

want to say that I want to support my committee because we have done a lot. I know that

if we had engaged - I dint know that the waziri concerned on the other side then this thing

could not go through. So, I want to say that it was that delay that we made that is why we

came from the recess for a special meeting because we had given them time to go and

adjust and then bring this thing and today we are passing.

So, I want to say I stand to support, Mr. Speaker.

Deputy Speaker: Honourable Leader of Majority, you know the procedure of the House.

order! Honourable Member, you know according the procedure of this House when the

mover has already moved the motion and the motion has been seconded as per the priority of

the standing order, the Leader of Government Business or the Leader of Majority is given a

chance not after the other Members. I find you out of order, honourable Lowoi .

Honourable Member for Segero Barsombe.

Hon Yego: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity to give my

contribution.

First I wish to say that I am standing to voluntarily support the motion, Mr. Speaker Sir. I

wish to say that basing on the timeline and the way the procedures of the budget-making

process, I wish to say that the committee maybe intentionally placed the cart before the

horse, I mean this. I think the ADP should come before the real budget and in that

connection, I wish to say that I am thinking aloud when I recall the time we were passing

the real budget we were actually forced to pass it during a special sitting. In that connection

again we are actually intending to pass this budget on a special sitting. So, Mr. Speaker,

that is why I was saying that I am voluntarily supporting.

Going to page 9 on water , there is somewhere there a column indicating de-silting of water

pans and water in the dams with an estimate of sh50, 000, 000. I still remember that when

we were doing the budget process, we had actually set amount to buy machines for de-

siltation of the same dams. So, I am a bit confused here trying to connect the sh50, 000, 000

and the amount that was allocated to purchase of machinery .

Mr. Speaker, I stand to support the motion. Thank you.

Deputy Speaker: Thank you, honourable Member for Segero Barsombe. Before I put the

question, honourable Members, I would wish to give direction through the substantive Chair

that the amendments particularly that have been moved by honourable Members just allow

them because we are still learning. Let that be captured being assisted by the clerk before the

final document is submitted. Allow me, honourable Members, to put the question.

(Question Put and agreed to)

(ADP was adopted)

The House rose at 2:21PM
