Quotable Quotes From TTC County Assembly. 1. the water project in Sagalla was allocated ksh. 15m. The project was then contracted out to private contractor who disappeared and the money vanished, a further Ksh.13m was allocated to the project again, it was contracted. The contractor disappeared once again. Finally, another Ksh.21m was once more allocated, this too, vanished together with the contractor and sadly there is no water, Mr. Spear Sir Hon. Kilele, MCA, Sagalla. 2. Mr. Speaker Sir, our expectations when devolved system of governance was created was that we shall not see scenarios where projects exist only on papers, and that such things would belong to the past. We were wrong. Most projects are there in the budget and other documents but they do not physical exist as the corruption has been devolved thus encouraging payment of commissions to cartels. This has resulted in projects getting overestimated or overvalued and even still, they stalled or were not implemented at all we have many none existent projects. In my ward a mere four street lamp posts cost taxpayers a cool ksh.2m whereas the actual cost should have 200k. Who pocketed the difference? Some CECs do not have chief officers and are known to usurp the work of chief officers. Why does the Executive still not have chief officers nearly two down the line? Hon. Mwangola MCA Wundanyi. 3. Mr. Speaker, the governor has reshuffled his CESs because he knows they are incompetent. We dont what know happened or even the whereabouts of the government sponsored students to Madagascar, the cost involved, the benefits derived, and our demands to present reports before this Assembly have been not heeded at all. Due to personal interest and conflict of interest of the CEC water projects have stalled. The Shawashiza loan of Ksh. 60m cannot be properly explained and accounted for. The loan was supposed to be disbursed using a criterion in which Ksh. 20m was for women. Ksh. 20m was for the youth and Ksh. 20m for the persons living with disability Hon. Waweru MCA, Marungu. 4. Mr. Speaker Sir, CIPD has been brought before this Assembly without Chapter 8. Revenues collection in Taveta has gone down by more than half. Where does the other half go? Hon. Kilonzo, MCA Challa/ Njukini 5. Mr. Spear Sir, Mr. Masamo has failed to formulate and present any single policy to this Assembly. CECs have their own special interests that include huge allowances in the budget estimates yet very little is budgeted for public projects. CECs Flora and Masamo approved their own budget in which they put public monies to use without the CA approval Hon. Mongols, MCA (special elected) 6. Mr. Speaker, the CECs have totally ignored persons living with disabilities in all aspects of financial allocation and activities. The budget is always delayed and brought before this CA at the eleventh hours with lots of gaps Hon.Maghanga, MCA (special elected) Mr. Spear, sir, our mandates in this Assembly are three, namely legislature, representation, and oversight. This motion before the Assembly is about oversight. In carrying out roles we are not going to be malicious or punitive, vindictive, but factual, fair and open. Mr. Speaker, chapter one, article one, of the Constitution is clear on the sovereignty of the people which it states belong to the people. The people of this county brought us here together with the Executive with on contract to serve them. Again chapter two, article six provides for devolution and access to services. And chapter six provides for leadership and integrity and under article (75) provides for conduct of state officers. Mr. Speaker, if this CG is not providing services as expected after having been allocated sufficient money for same, then its CECs have indeed violated the constitution. If the CECs have improperly put to us any single cent belonging to public he or she has violated the constitution and abuse his or her office. The evidence we have before this CA is sufficient. Hon. Members can remember the many,many occasions we have had to summon the CECs in the past and the promises of corrections and improvements that to date have not been kept. This Assembly has given the CECs opportunity to serve this county and has had patience to let the CECs settled, if they themselves have failed they have themselves to blame Hon. Anisa Mwakio, (special elected) More quotes tomorrow
