• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank our colleagues who have taken time to speak to this Motion. Many of them were actually in support of the decision of the Senate Business Committee (SBC) to go in this particular route. I appreciate their comments. I believe that this Committee will return a verdict that by and large will be favourable to the people of Siaya. That is what is at the heart of this matter, that eventually the county will be able to move forward and achieve the dream of our nation’s founders when they wrote the words ... view

• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: read it. This is what the Constitution expects you to do before you make a decision on any matter. Article 123 (2) of the Constitution states” “When the Senate is to vote on any matter other than a Bill, the Speaker shall rule on whether the matter affects or does not affect counties.” Therefore, you are invited to make a ruling and I want to request that you make the ruling. With those many remarks, I beg to reply. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I laud the Cabinet Secretary for her diligence and also note the Communication you gave earlier. There is something curious to note here. The Cabinet Secretaries who have not previously served in Parliament with us are more responsive to calls to this House than our colleagues who used to be here. It is rather embarrassing of our former colleagues who treat this House with not so much decency. Three or four years ago, the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) updated Government records on the classification of Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) areas. Previously, as you ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: However, CRA commissioned a study that classified and divided the country into wards, which are well known administrative units that passed the test of ASAL areas. Unfortunately, I continue to see Ministries, including hers, who still stick with the former classification of ASALs. Therefore, even the distribution of relief food is only shared in the traditional ASAL areas. When will the Cabinet Secretary update the records of her Ministry? view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: My neighbour here comes from Meru County, where they have very fertile parts. However, if you go upwards to the areas bordering Laikipia County, it is very arid. The same can be said of my county too. I wish to find out from the Cabinet Secretary when her Ministry will update this information. That way, relief food distribution and drought mitigation programmes can reflect the new definitions issued by CRA. view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have keenly followed the debate this afternoon. I also have a few things to say. One, I feel that we are being unfair to the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, its Chairman and Members. While it is okay for Members to hold different views on the approach a particular Committee has taken on issues and matters that are before it, this matter has been with the Committee for hardly two weeks. Therefore, I feel we are being unfair to colleagues like Sen. Wambua and the rest that I have heard coming so heavy on the ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: I urge Sen. Abass and the Members of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations to listen to what Members are saying, then lead and guide us, as a House. This is about posterity and the place of devolution in our country, so that our MCAs can serve with dignity. I feel embarrassed and this is the situation that is happening in all our county assemblies, where MCAs are reduced to beggars. They have to chase and follow the governors and sing to their tunes because of Kshs86,000 and no mileage or facilitation of any form whatsoever. It does not ... view
