Limited Design Assets Workshop:

I was able to experiment with several iterations of one concept thanks to the workshop on restricted assets. I discovered that you can create a range of results with these straightforward assets, giving your assets the ability to be diverse while truly making your brand stand out.

Four names of assets have been provided: Admission, Assition, Mother City, and Probleme. We must select one group of records from each of these four assets. Since Mother City is more pertinent to my brief, I have picked it. 

After we all finished we put in in padlet to see everyone’s work.

Senate in shock as Uhuru assents to Revenue Bill

Alternative text.

The Senate interrupted its Tuesday evening sitting to go into an emergency session to discuss President Kenyatta’s move to assent the Division of Revenue Bill, which allocates Sh210 billion to county governments.

The senators, who were still pleading with the President to reject the Bill, got the shock of their lives when Mr James Orengo (Siaya) notified the House that the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Justin Muturi, had announced that the Bill had been assented to.

Mr Orengo said the senators ought to have an emergency meeting to discuss how to handle the issue, given the implication that the Senate was of no consequence. The Senate wanted Sh258 billion allocated to the counties.

Senators and governors said without the extra Sh48 billion, some counties will suffer in service delivery.

“It is with deep sorrow that I receive the news that the President has assented to the Bill,” said Mr Kipchumba Murkomen, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Devolved Government.

A stung Mr Murkomen, who was sure President Kenyatta would reject the Bill, told the Senate that there was a conspiracy to cripple the Senate and have it wound up.

“We have no business being senators if we have no business to do with allocation of resources to our counties,” said Mr Murkomen.

He also revealed that President Kenyatta had given the Senate a cold shoulder, because, while he consulted the majority leader in the National Assembly, on an hourly basis, he had neglected the Senate’s majority leader, even though they were all from the same coalition.

Ahead of the emergency session, the senators used the first hour of their first meeting day after their two-week break to appeal to the President to reject the Division of Revenue Bill as submitted for presidential assent.

But their action was time-barred because it emerged that the Head of State had already appended his signature on the Bill that allocates Sh210 billion to the county governments.

The Speaker of the Senate, Mr Ekwee Ethuro, told the senators that he had written to President Kenyatta four days ago seeking to have the Bill returned to Parliament — National Assembly and Senate — for mediation.

Mr Ethuro said he had alerted the Head of State that there was a breach of procedure in the way the National Assembly had handled the Bill.

“This action of the National Assembly, if allowed, will bring the entire legislative process to a halt,” said the Speaker.

“We’re calling for the intervention of the President because it is the right thing to do at the moment,” said Mr Hassan Omar (Mombasa).

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale said senators were embarrassed because of the spat with the National Assembly over the Bill.

Mr Khalwale also took a swipe at the new MPs and dismissed them as inexperienced in matters legislation.

The chairman of the Senate committee on Finance, Mr Billow Kerrow (Mandera) said the National Assembly had acted “contemptuously” when it ignored the Senate version of the Bill.

Leader of Majority Party Kithure Kindiki (Tharaka Nithi) said the law was very clear on the procedure to be followed whenever there’s a dispute between the Senate and the National Assembly.
