BOMET BUDGET STANDOFF...yesterday came forth thru,a procedural motion tabled by deputy majority leader on Thursday (17th July) last week seeking the assembly to convene a special assembly sitting on Monday(yesterday).The sitting was necessitated by three papers (budget estimates, annual devpt plan and bomet county appropriation ammendment bill).All these papers were subjected to the relevant committees, (budget n appropriation and finance and ICT committee) All these hullabalos were activated on arrival by governor bomet from vacation to USA.where he came breathing fire after assembly has passed the budget procedurally adhering with PFM ACT sect 117,118,125 and 134 respectively. The budget making process is a continuous process, the CEILLINGS by CRA and COB were negotiated by assembly leadership n both commissions saw outright facts in the argument thus exempting the assembly to operate with the budget of 699m. The governor rubbished all that thru various kamukunjihe convened both at the assembly and the newly renamed bomet nyayo housebrevan hotel, Am the CEO of bomet. Your ceilings is 265m,failure to I will handover this govt to national govt He convened another kamukunji at nyayo houseon Sunday late evening, this is where he physically assaultedan elected honorable member, again after differing on budget. Morning yesterday session saw the assembly budget n appropriation vice chair hon Mca 25 table the committee report appended by all the committee members n recommended the house to drop the budget estimates since theres one already in existence passed on 24th June The SPEAKER, through the SOLOMONIC Wisdom, ruled that it shall be rigorously absurd for the assembly to APPROVE two budget estimates in a financial year! Gloom n total sadness engulfed members of brevan assembly, following the ruling! ON REALING that the assembly speaker has ruled in favour of the budget committee, the governor opted to apply the law of the JUNGLE, by violating Art174(j)that talks of separation of powers! Through his coercive nature compelled the assembly speaker to RE INTRODUCE a motion that was already under the bridge, the speaker again through his wisdom told the governor its impossible, subject to him appending his signature to the reason of re introduction. BOMET COUNTY ASSEMBLY YESTERDAY UNDERWENT MOST DEFINING TIMES IN THE BOOKS OF HISTORY. ...being the first county assembly nationally n internationally to PASS TWO budget estimates and TWO appropriation in a single financial year! ! kwongutyet! WAY FOWARD.....court interpretation!
