kupata chakula cha mchana, alizungumza na kusema hapa ndani kuna watu wabaya. Hawa watu wanafanya hivi na vile. Nimemsikiza tena akizungumza sasa. Amezungumza akasema kuna mafarisayo na kisha akasema wako hapa ndani. Nafikiri sio vizuri yeye kuruhusiwa kuelekezea kidole cha lawama watu ambao hawataji kwa majina. Kwa kweli ninajua mimi sio mmoja wao lakini kwa sababu ya hawa marafiki zangu, ndugu zangu Maseneta, ningependa kujua hawa ni akina nani. Kwa sababu akiwachiwa fursa hii ya kueleza na kuwalimbikizia lawama wenzake bila kusema ni akina nani haswa, nafikiri sio vizuri. Ni vyema awaeleze kwamba akisema hapa anamaanisha wapi. Ni hapa bungeni, ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I join the rest of my colleagues in appreciating the Cabinet Secretary for his appearance. Secondly, I commend him for grasping issues in his Ministry. Listening to him, you would think he has served in the military. However, since I know him and his family well, I suspect there are tips he gets from his lovely wife who is a daughter of a general. Probably, that is where he has gotten all these tips about the things happening in this sector. I had serious concerns about the issues happening in Lamu County. I have heard ...

support from the military, yet I know that they have good playing facilities along Lang’ata Road. Will the Cabinet Secretary be gracious to permit the Bunge Football Team, because he served here and understands the importance of those games to Members? He can give an undertaking and find ways of helping us. He can choose to respond directly or later. This is not something related directly to the country; it is more related to us parliamentarians.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I congratulate Sen. Chesang on this Statement of maize dryers. I am bothered and disturbed. Why do Government officials who are put in office and maintained by taxpayers lose their minds the minute they are in the position of administration?

When the Government gave out fertilizer subsidies, no Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretary (PS), Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS), or principal administrative secretary, who are paid huge amounts of money, sat down to plan about the dryers? Why do we have to wait until now when farmers are struggling with their crops and harvesting maize that is not even fully ripe because they do not want it to be destroyed by rains? It is unfortunate. As legislatures, we must continue to keep our Government officials in check because that is our work. This is just like the issue of killings in Sondu ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the chance to contribute to the County Government Additional Allocations Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 23 of 2023). This is an important Bill in the sense that it is a child of the Senate. Those who have served long enough in the Budget and Finance Committee know that before there was something called ‘the condition and unconditional grants’. Many county governments would additionally receive resources through various schemes and policies of the national Government without due regard to any procedure and reference to any Committee of the Senate. At the Budget and Finance ...

Take a look at the fertilizer subsidy programme and the coordination and agreement in the schedules. I hear many people argue that they see resources remain at the Ministry of Agriculture. If we continue the way this Bill is structured, soon such conversations will be of the past. Much as you want to centralise certain things on policy, despite the fact that many people, especially our colleagues from the minority side may not like to see any coin remain with the national Government for obvious reasons. Would it make sense for each county to be left on their own to ...
