"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Senator Essie Okenyuri. On humanitarian grounds, all of us must be concerned about the recent killings, especially of young girls. The most amazing thing is that most of these deaths seem to be executed by people who are known to these victims. We are called upon everybody, including family members, to be on the lookout. Let us discuss with our young sisters and young girls on how to go about some relationships and also share with everybody that even when people disagree, there is always a way in which we can sort out most of the issues. Secondly, I support the Statement by the Senator for Nandi. As Houses of Parliament, we have a duty to execute our mandate. Governors must know that just as they are elected by the people to lead those counties, Senators are equally elected to oversight them and represent Kenyans all over the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it should not be a decision of a governor to choose when to appear before a committee or when to come because they do not have that choice. Once they swore to serve their people and protect the Constitution of this country, they must live up to the expectations of the same Constitution. They are not doing anybody a favour by coming to the Senate or appearing before the committees. These are constitutional offices. If people feel that they can operate at their whims, they have the option of stepping aside, so that we get leaders who can support and work for the people as per the expectations. The Senate must stamp its feet. Governors have no option. They must appear before committees because even Senators are just doing their work. We must represent the people and oversight and governors have no choice. I support."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to comment on two statements. The first one is by Sen. Cherarkey. After elections, normally, Senators, Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and Members of the National Assembly go through induction. It appears our governors also require to be inducted by the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), so that they get to know that when they are invited to the Senate or committees, they need to honour. It is not a favour for them to come to the Senate. Our job is to do oversight, representation and legislation. So, we need to work closely because Senators are champions of devolution. The resources they get pass through this House. We are surprised that some of them give flimsy reasons such as being away or engaged elsewhere. They need to know that when they are invited to the Senate, it should be priority number one and not other engagements. They need to work for the people and we need to follow up on what they are doing because that is our mandate. In the CPISF and even other committees, we get some funny reasons like what we got in the morning from one of the cabinet secretaries. That was the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife. She said that she went to witness putting of a device into a rhino The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."

"content": "instead of coming to this House. The Senate adjourned early because of some flimsy reasons. That is something they can even send the Director General of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) or even the Principal Secretary, instead of wasting the Senate’s time. It is unfortunate that we are losing our young girls through femicide. Like Sen. Beatrice Ogola said, some of this could be relationship-related. Others could be some criminals who are after organs. We need the Inspector General (IG) of Police to stamp his foot and authority and ensure those who are carrying out abductions and killing our girls are brought to book. I do not know why they take a lot of time and end up saying that they do not know, yet they have intelligence and resources? The Ministry of Interior and National Administration is the most resourced. They need to use those resources. Let them use also technology. We have technology that can assist in terms of ensuring that those who are doing these activities are apprehended. With that, I support."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I wish to thank my Vice-Chairperson of the CPAC for his Statement. I remember you saying that this is the time for taking action and there is no time for lamenting. We have had an experience where some governors are taking cue from the Governor for Isiolo in various committees. That has to stop. I have been around for some time, but I have never seen a governor take a committee of the House to court just because of appearance. It has never happened. Secondly, some summonses have been issued to the Governor of Isiolo. There is also another one where the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has instructed the IG of Police to arrest and bring him before the committee or the House. I hope that is going to work. If it does not, we will have proved the Governor of Isiolo right because he has been going around saying that there is nothing the Senate will do to him. Even if he fails to appear many times, the Senate will do nothing to him. That is impunity of the highest order. I have even been discussed at the Council of Governors (CoG) meetings that I am rogue. Let me be rogue because of doing my work. Before we went on recess, I raised a Statement on the Floor of this House. Let me be open. Ten members of staff from the county government of Isiolo sat in the boardroom with the governor and discussed how to eliminate me. I have a clip and photos of those members of staff. He has the audacity of telling members of the public and media houses that I am lying. He has been going around saying he knows everybody in the Government, including top officials in the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). Therefore, nobody can do anything to him. This is a rogue governor who does nothing. He operates from Nairobi and he is never in Isiolo. Secondly, he has no respect at all for the Senate. We discussed this matter yesterday. The MCAs are in the governor’s pockets. We must have a solution to this problem where the Senate can act on rogue governors."
