We should work to ensure that we have a culture of protecting public funds. I would love to see us recovering what has been stolen and those people who stole those funds taken to jail. They should serve as an example to other Kenyans, especially those people from Kano Irrigation Scheme. Mr. Patrick Odida should be decorated for his effort of fighting corruption in this country. I support and thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this important matter. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

In our counties, we see a lot of such donor funded projects stalling and collapsing. This leads to future denials of such support. We will now allow Sen. Munyi Mundigi to also contribute."

"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa ruhusa niweze kuchangia mambo ya mchele ya West Kano Irrigation Scheme katika Kaunti ya Kisumu. Ninashukuru watu wa West Kano na Patrick Ochieng ambaye hakujali maisha yake na mambo ya dunia. Chakula cha Mwafrika duniani na hata katika kaunti zetu 47 ni mahindi na wali. Tulienda kule Kano na hao wazee walitoka mbali lakini hawakujali. Hao watu walikuwa na shida nyingi. Waliposimama kutoa ushuhuda ilikuwa ni jambo la kuhuzunisha. Walikuwa wanaongea lugha ya Dhuluo. Hao watu hawakuwa na chakula lakini walijikakamua wakaja kutoa ushuhuda. Walisema jinsi pesa ambazo walipewa kutoka Japan zilikulwa na watapeli. Jambo la huzuni ni kwamba hao watu wa eneo ya West Kano huteseka sana mvua inaponyesha wanahama makazi yao kwa sababu maji kuloa kila mahali. Mvua inapokwisha, hao hurudi makazi yao kulima mchele. Watu walitoka nchi ya ng’ambo na wakawapea hela ambayo walitumia kulima mchele. Pia walipewa mashini ya kulima lakini watu watapeli walikula hiz pesa zote. Kenya imekuwa na shida nyingi sana. Mimi ni Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Jana, tulisikia jinsi watu walipewa mahindi mbaya katika kaunti yako na wakakosa hata dawa ya ugonjwa ya mahindi. Hao wakulima hawakupata mavuno mazuri kwa sabaa mahindi yao yalivamiwa na wadudu. Kaunti nyingi zimekuwa na shida kwa sababu watu wakipewa kazi, wao hufikiria juu ya shida zao na familia zao. Hao hufikiria vile wataendesha magari na mashamba makubwa. Wao hujali tumbo zao kubwa. Ningependa sheria iangalie vizuri maofisa wa EACC ambao walikuwa wanafanya uchunguzu huu. Huenda EACC Act inahitaji ukarabati ili ipewe makali. Ingekuwa imara mambo kama haya hayangefanyika. Leo katika kamati yetu ya Labour and Social Welfare, tumeshuhudia professors ambao waliretire na hawakupata pesa yao ya uzeeni. Tumeona mambo mengi yakifanyika katika Serikali hii ya Kenya Kwanza. Tumeona mambo mengi na National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) na Social Health Insurance (SHI). Juzi tumeona watu wengine wamekata kulipa deni. Walipoitishwa hela na Kenya Power (KP), hawakukumbuka ya kwamba kuna binadamu angeweza kupita barabara hiyo. Hawakufikiria kuhusu mazingira au kama kunaweza kuwa na ugonjwa wa kipindupindu. Walitupa takataka na kufunga barabara licha ya kupewa jukumu la kuzingatia usafi katika kaunti zetu. Mambo mengi yanaendelea kutendeka katika kaunti nyingi na sio katika kaunti ya Jiji la Nairobi pekee. Wanaoumia ni wananchi walio vijijini. Kuna janga la njaa na upungufu wa maji ya kunywa. Umeme au stima ni shida kwa wananchi wetu. Bw. Spika wa Muda, mwananchi anayelipa ushuru anafaa mahitaji yake ya afya, elimu, kilimo na barabara yatiliwe maanani. Serikali ya Kenya Kwanza inafaa kuangalia The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Bibilia inasema watu wawili hawawezi tembea pamoja bila kuelewana au kusemezana. Ningeomba tulio katika Serikali hii ya muungano inayoongozwa na Mhe. Rais Ruto na Naibu wa Rais, Mhe. (Prof.) Kindiki Kithure ambao wanahubiri umoja wa kitaifa tuwasaidie na tufanye kazi pamoja tukiwa na amani. Bw. Spika wa Muda, tumeona mambo mengi. Kuna wizi wa mashamba na magari. Watu wanapigana chenga. Tusipokuwa na heshima hatutatembea pamoja. Miezi miwili iliyopita, tulizuru Jamuhuri ya Tanzania. Wakenya wanafaa kuishi kama Watanzania kwa amani na umoja. Naomba Hoja hii izingatiwe kwa makini ili pesa zipatikane ili wazungu wale wafanye kazi inayohitajika waendelee kufanya hivyo. Tractors hizo ni za zamani sana na hazitumiki kwa sasa. Wale wazungu walisema hawatatupa pesa zingine kwa sababu ya ufisadi. Najua kuwa Serikali hii italipa mkopo huu wa pesa. Bw. Spika wa Muda, tumeona Serikali ikilipa deni ya sekta za sukari, kahawa na majani baada ya watu wengi kuililia. Kama tutaendelea kujenga barabara baada ya kupewa msaada kutoka nchi za ng’ambo na Serikali kuchukua ushuru kutoka kwa wananchi bila uwajibikaji, basi nchi itarudi nyuma miaka mingi. Kama uwajibikaji utazingatiwa, basi ajenda yetu kama nchi itasonga mbele. Watahakikisha kuwa katika sekta ya kilimo, wananchi watapata maji ya kufanya"

Kama uwajibikaji ungezingatiwa basi tungekuwa na rasilmali za kutosha kuimarisha sekta ya afya yetu. Waheshimiwa wengi wako mashinani kwa sababu pesa zimekuliwa na matapeli. Ugonjwa wa saratani umeongezeka kwa kiwango cha juu. Watu wetu katika kaunti nyingi wamefilisika kwa sababu ya hali ya afya. Wameuza mashamba ili waweze kutibiwa. Hati miliki za mashamba yao zimechukuliwa na benki kwa sababu wana madeni mengi ya hospitali. Hatungekuwa tunapata shida hii ya ugonjwa huu wa saratani kama Serikali ingezingatia uwajibikaji. Kama Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Kilimo ya Mifugo na Uvuvi, tulitoa amri kuwa DCI wafanye uchunguzi ili watu hawa wapelekwe kortini na ukweli ujulikane. Haya sio mambo ya West Kano pekee yake yanahusu kaunti nyingi na inahitaji idara nyingi za Serikali kufanya kazi pamoja. Naunga mkono ripoti hii."

"content": "take advantage of them. I have seen this happening in Pokot society. A high percentage of this society is illiterate and many people take advantage of them. Right now, there many goldminers in West Pokot. It is sad that the county government is taking advantage of them instead of helping them. Therefore, this case of West Kano in Kisumu County is not isolated, but it is all over the country. Just like our colleague Sen. Cherarkey said, we do not know who should arrest people involved in corruption cases. Farmers in the Kano plains lost a lot of money and probably their children dropped out of schools. It is a pity that even they have lost their beloved ones because they could not afford not take them to hospitals for treatment. They lost a lot because of mismanagement of their society by people who were in charge. This is also a lesson to other farmers’ groups elsewhere. There should be a lot of scrutiny and carefulness when it comes to electing people to be put in charge farmers’ societies. This is because people entrusted with the management of these societies end up looting them These days many corrupt individuals carry money in bags in their vehicles. They do so because they do not want to arrested by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers. Sometimes they bribe them and they look the other side. They do not arrest these culprits who are stealing from farmers. By looking the other side, they give a clean slate to a corrupt person. Therefore, corruption will be with us for a long time. We need to give EACC teeth because it is no longer effective. It is no longer sensitive to corruption. It has become compromised and longer serving us. We need to come with new system to fight corruption in this country. These days, people buy buildings and farms with proceeds of corruption. They no longer see stolen property or money, but hard earned wealth and they are proud of it. In this process of stealing money and machines, they discourage donors to donate for other projects in future in that place or elsewhere in Kenya. They will be disappointed and they will probably walk away from our country. That puts us into a lot of shame. This is because when such an investment is done, donors file reports. They are proud that they did something to alleviate the poverty situation. However, they are discourage when funds are looted by the same people who are supposed to be taking care of it. So, we are chasing donors away by this practice. As the Kano Plain farmers and the general public will apportion blame on leaders like us and even the Government that it is not taking care of them. Look, a few people have stolen our things and they are just walking free and blame police, blame everybody because somebody just did wrong things to them. We all get a portion of the blame because of a few individuals. A few officers who were supposed to be helping correct situations. That is why we have shortages of food. We have limited economic activities in this country because people entrusted with public funds end up misappropriating the same. Many corporations and irrigation systems have collapsed because of corruption. As I said, we should get another system that will be effective in fighting corruption in this country. I support."
