• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: little about. There is no multi-lateral lending institution that would do the kind of thing that the Acting Cabinet Secretary is proposing and telling us as a country to do. They are in business just like any other institution. To be misled, the way we are being misled is not proper. Therefore, I put it to my colleagues that multi-lateral lenders---- view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point that I was making is that multilateral lenders do not undertake debt restructuring. Rather, what they do is that they fund specific projects like the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), a particular road or factory. That is the kind of business that they are in. However, they are not in the business of buying off bad debts from people who cannot manage their economies like Kenya. T view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would wish to hear from the teacher who misled Sen. Murkomen. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for disowning your student. The point that I was making in concluding is that, the thing that multilateral lenders would do is to fund specific projects. This is something which, we, as a Committee, pondered about and said we would be so happy about. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just allow me a minute to wrap up my thoughts. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would be so happy if the Acting Cabinet Secretary had presented before us specific projects with specific funding requests up to the point of the mid-term budget framework that they had presented to us that ends up in 2022. We would be so okay about that particular one. However, the one that he is telling us that for long term and longevity about it up to Kshs9 trillion, I reject. In concluding, I want to remind my colleagues, the words of the third President of the United States, President Thomas Jefferson who said- “In matters ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my apologies for interrupting the Senate Leader of Minority but I do not think he is in order to suggest that he has not heard any proposed solutions from those who are opposed to the increase of this ceiling, yet the report that is before this House, attached to it, is a report from those of us who dissented at Kshs9 trillion. We have specified what we think is our proposal, starting with the figure of Kshs7.5trillion and how it can be achieved and broken down yearly. I think that is a fair point. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Leader has spoken so well and is about to conclude. There are two words I would wish that he concludes his speech with so that he wraps it and gives it the very spirit of what he was saying. The two words are: Tuko Pamoja. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance. As has been pointed to rightly by the Chairman of CPAIC, this is a very important Report. As a House, if there has ever been a report or an item being on the agenda for our deliberations that should have the attention of all the 67 of us, then this is one of them. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: There are very grave issues that have been raised in this Report on various counties that I want to speak to generally, and also as a way of concluding, give a suggestion. There is growing concern by various Members of this House on the net value of what we are trying to do. I listened to the Chairman of CPAIC while he moved the Motion for the adoption of this Report. He addressed himself specifically to the issue where Members feel that we are considering the reports of the Financial Year 2014/2015 in 2019. Therefore, many of our colleagues are ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: There is good reason for people to say that each committee follows through the implementation of the agendas that are before. However, given how busy, for example, this particular Committee is, I want to know what it is in terms of proposals that we are able to consider and do, so that we ensure that if a specific county has been directed to carry out a particular exercise, they will be able to do that. As it is today, that is not clearly spelt out for us. What is the rate of compliance? That is the question. If I am ... view
