I would like to challenge the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations that it is not enough for the Chairperson to tell us that he will visit that county soon. Soon is not soon enough. In fact, this is one situation where that Committee should have moved their own Motion to go and save devolution in Nyamira County. Madam Temporary Speaker, I therefore would like to ask your office to kindly direct that this Committee, this week, goes to Nyamira County and reports to this House what exactly is happening in Nyamira County. We may actually need to call the County Government of Nyamira, both the Executive and the Assembly, to come and tell us what exactly is the problem in Nyamira County. Counties have conflicts, but the dysfunction in the County of Nyamira is the greatest threat to devolution in the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, I request you to order that something is done, not soon, but immediately. I thank you."},{"id":1549084,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549084/?format=json","text_counter":1010,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

I would like to comment on the issue of digital taxi operators; an issue that we have spoken about and said that at least the baseline should be Kshs300 when you are hiring or using a digital taxi operator. Looking at the operational cost, the cost of fuel and spare parts is also high, yet, most of the taxi operators who operate these digital taxi operators online are young people. Now that the public service cannot accommodate everybody, please, let this House ensure that the compliance and operational costs should be increased so that we protect the digital taxi operators. This matter has come up several times. Uber and other digital taxi operators should have an office in Kenya, so that when we raise such issues of digital operation of taxis, we give opportunity to many young people who drive the digital taxis. Even as we talk about baseline of KShs300, it should be noted that the fuel per litre is almost the same amount. So, if you are paying for that amount, what will you pay for the spare parts? Madam Temporary Speaker, secondly, I was shocked, and disappointed with the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. The Committee should have taken this matter. You cannot have two Speakers, two Maces, two seals and two Clerks. I have been following Nyamira politics, and I know the governor is a very sharp politician. After the failed impeachment, he decided to create chaos in the County"},{"id":1549086,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549086/?format=json","text_counter":1012,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

The Senior Counsel, who is the Senator of Nyamira County, should have informed us. Perhaps he assumed that there is judicial notice of what is happening. Anything that has been passed, and the Senior counsel knows, is illegal. Any budget approvals that the Governor has passed in Nyamira County Assembly are illegal. Therefore, the dysfunctionality of Nyamira County Assembly is not by default, but by design, by the County Executive. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) should know that the more they perpetuate the dysfunctionality of the County Assembly of Nyamira, they are undermining and killing devolution in the county. Therefore, the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations must come out strongly and address this issue. I know MCAs have a challenge with the issues of salaries and welfare and the Ward Development Fund. However, we have given them financial autonomy as the MCAs. They, therefore should assist us by protecting devolution. Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope today you will direct, under Standing Order No.1, that by Tuesday next week, the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, under Standing Order No.56, must report the progress of what is happening in the County of Nyamira.

Cherarkey, Kamati ya Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations itabidi iwaite mahasimu wote pamoja na Gavana wa Kaunti hiyo wiki hii ili watoe mwongozo kuhusu suala hili. Ni aibu kwamba Kaunti ya Nyamira imeshindwa kutatua masuala kama haya madogo. Nakumbuka mwaka wa 2018 tulikuwa na shida katika Kaunti ya Mombasa. Kulikuwa na watu wanaandamana kila siku kulitisha Bunge la Kaunti ya Mombasa wakisema fagia Bunge! Fagia Bunge! Tulipouliza hapa, baada ya wiki moja, gavana, na spika waliletwa hapa na matatizo haya yakamalizwa siku moja. Kwa hivyo sio masuala ya kungojea. Haya ni masuala Kamati husika inafaa kuyavalia njuga na wahakikishe ya kwamba kufikia Jumanne wiki ijayo tumepata mwafaka kuhusiana na suala hilo. Haiwezekani kaunti kupoteza wakati kwa kuwa na Mabunge mawili, Maspika wawili, Makarani wawili, Bunge moja likikaa msituni na lingine lakaa mjini. Ni aibu. Kwa hivyo, naomba Kamati hii husika ifuatilie suala hili kwa haraka ili tupate mwelekeo kuhusu ni nani anayestahili kuendesha mambo ya Bunge la Kaunti ya Nyamira kwa watu wa Nyamira."},{"id":1549091,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1549091/?format=json","text_counter":1017,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
