• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, finally, the Committee recommended to the county governments that they should construct county assembly chambers that are within certain limits. We have visited certain county assemblies as Members of this House and you will sympathise with our Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). If you go to some counties, the chambers do not even inspire the thoughts of leaders because they are squeezed in particular places. They also do not have services like what we have here and good microphones for them to articulate and share the issues of the people that they represent. They also do not ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: We have gone ahead and done a breakdown as a committee on what should be the expected figure of each county assembly depending on the number of wards. We proposed that county assemblies’ chambers and offices should be constructed so that MCAs can do their work expeditiously. These are modern parliaments. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: We do not know whether it is possible for the designs to be synchronized but they should. If I am in Mandera, Kakamega, Mombasa, or Lodwar, the minute I spot a particular building, because of the design and architecture, I should tell that it is a county assembly chamber because it is neat and beautiful. Nothing significant about it should be identified. That is what progressive societies do. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: We have visited many other countries that have devolution systems of government. The minute you spot a certain design of building, you know that it is the seat of power for that particular county, municipality or state. Therefore, this recommendation by the Committee is well thought-out. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are told that some counties which had awarded contracts that were above the recommended figure should consider renegotiating with a view to adjusting the contract sum. We have two or three counties that had awarded contracts worth almost Kshs800 million to Kshs1 billion, to put up very huge offices that ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement, especially for those of us who come from communities that practice livestock farming. How agriculture has been managed in many of our counties is extremely disturbing. It is not just extension services that are being offered to livestock farmers who are in a dire situation in almost all the 47 counties. Now that Sen. Senate has raised this very important issue, could the Chairman of the Committee also care to at least apprise this House on the measures that the Ministry intends to put in place, given the fact that many ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to disagree with what Sen. (Dr.) Zani has said. However, on second thought, given that she has tried to absolve herself of the blame and privately confided in me that she will not be taking that public position again, I would like to withdraw my protestations. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I wish to react to the Statement by my good friend, the Senator for Kakamega County, a man that I know so well. He has raised good questions and that is something that I as a young leader had thought about in the past few days. As a country, we have been having the debate on the war on graft and how it is being executed and many people have issued statements on what they think about this particular issue. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: A German physicist called Albert Einstein reminded us that insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results each time. We will be insane as a country if we pursue the war on corruption the same way we have pursued it in the past while knowing very well that the reason we have never achieved any tangible or meaningful result is by doing exactly what the Multi-Agency Team is doing. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: As a young leader, I am concerned about my country. I would wish to live in a country where systems work. I would wish to live in a decent society where hard work pays and everybody can demonstrate that whatever they own is because of their sweat and not because they took a shortcut somewhere. However, it is not proper for me to abrogate my responsibilities and celebrate that we should support something that has been put together. I need to be convinced that the effort and actions that are being taken will bear fruits, and once and for all, ... view
