• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is said that all is fair in love and war. We are at war. We will try and deploy all the resources available. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: We need to start by reflecting how much the Standing Orders in the National Assembly allow certain things. Central to this debate is the permission on which Bills should go to the Senate and which ones can be assented to directly. Cheekily, the National Assembly included in their Standing Order a provision that allows them to bypass the Constitution and determine by themselves what laws the Senate can consider and those that we cannot. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we debate this, we should consider that part of what the leadership of the Senate needs to do is to consider and look into all the provisions of the Standing Orders in the ‘Lower House’ that fall afoul of the Constitution and allows them to do the kind of things that they are doing which are completely illegal and should not be allowed anywhere else. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: It is really unfortunate that it has come to this. All of us come from an understanding of knowing the price that Kenyans had to pay to achieve the Constitution of Kenya 2010. It is a Constitution that devolved powers, resources and all that is central to making the lives of Kenyans better. As a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget both in the last and current Parliament, we have always tried to be rational in balancing knowing that there is no bottomless pit of resources in this country. Therefore, it is not that the Senate comes out ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: the CRA agreed with what the Committee on Finance and Budget proposed as the correct figure to be sent to the counties taking into consideration issues like inflation. It is not just a figure that the Committee on Finance and Budget plucked out of the sky and said that we need to send Kshs335 billion to the counties. These are figures that we know are workable. If you read the report that was done by the Committee on Finance and Budget during the consideration of the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), one of the key highlights and the things that we ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know the authority of the Chair is not in question and can never be challenged. With utmost respect, I want to plead that you may find it in your heart to listen to the request by Sen. Linturi and Sen. Ochillo-Ayako because this matter is so weighty. Understanding Order No.1, you have the discretion to allow additional time. I humbly plead. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will be brief as directed. The prayer by the petitioners is very interesting, when you listen to the challenges that residents of Wajir County have had to go through because of the challenge of refuse removal and waste management. If you follow keenly on the challenges that many county governments continue to face, you will realise that the issue of waste management is not unique to Wajir Town alone. Almost all county governments, without fail, have not been able to handle this menace. Part of it is because of the amount of investment ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has brought an important issue. Unlike on previous occasions where we, as Members of Parliament (MPs), had not been in consonant with the Executive side of Government in their attempt to do The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: one or two things, if there is an area that requires a broader spectrum view to the issues that are before us, then it is this issue. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I know for a fact and as they say, figures do not lie. You only need to look at our current Budget and see the amount of money we spend on remunerations benefits only a few people in the country. We have about 700,000 public servants in a country of almost 50 million people. Out of revenue collections of Kshs1.4 trillion, close to Kshs800 billion goes to funding these particular individuals. We, as a country, must have a holistic view to this issue. I am not opposing it just for the sake of opposing, but we must ... view
