• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to hereby reply, having listened to the contributions of my colleagues on this important Motion, on trial by impeachment of the Deputy President, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua. I would like to thank colleagues that have taken time to give their views, both in support and those opposing this Motion, because that is how you grow a democracy. We may not all have to agree on the same subject matter, but the chance to even speak and say what you feel about an issue is an important attribute. Indeed, I agree with the contribution that was made ... view

• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to direct my question to Abdi of the EACC. In reference to this issue of the bid bond, listening to the former Acting CEO, there is something curious about it, which I would like Abdi to either confirm or help us understand. There was something peculiar about it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you hear about pagination, if you know anything about tenders, you know that if there is an issue on pagination, it is not just an issue of forgetting to page or number the pages, but that document may either have been added ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of our colleagues, I welcome the visiting delegation from the Parliament of Uganda, a very friendly neighbour that we have a long-standing, deep relationship with. Not that bias is allowed, but Ugandans and Kenyans have a deep-seated friendship that is tested many times by many things, but has stood the test of time over the years. Therefore, if there was a definition of good neighbourliness, Uganda fits the bill, and we celebrate these colleagues of ours. If you noticed, when I was walking in, I walked in with a spring because we have practiced this ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate today, Tuesday, 15th of October, 2024. The Office of the Auditor-General Annual Corporate Report for the FY2023/2024. I beg to lay. view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in appreciating the very diligent work of our Budget and Finance Committee. I have not hidden from this House my admiration of the work done by this Committee that I served in my formative years as a legislator. I continue to appreciate the diligence with which they execute the various critical responsibilities bestowed upon them by the Constitution and our Standing Orders. This Committee has proven over the last few sessions of this Senate, that when called upon to stand up for devolution, they do so with much zest. I appreciate ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: unconditional grants to our counties that we felt were getting lost in between the other broad county governments’ allocation to our counties, where there was a better focus. Mr. Speaker, Sir, pointing out the very glaring errors in this Bill, like the one I have spoken to, justifies the thinking that went into doing a separate Bill by the Senate. This is because, if we were still doing one DORA that has both the shareable revenue and the conditional and unconditional allocation, as was the case previously, then it would be difficult to pinpoint some of these errors. However, the ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: allocation that we gave to them at that particular time and that we should avoid this temptation. It points out to even the drafters and the people that go into drafting some of this legislation, that perhaps either out of corruption or because of the fact that you come from a particular county, we just want to obviously violate the law. If you read the Report of the Budget and Finance Committee of 2015, I know what we appended and the allocation that was given to each county. If you have exhausted your quota, that is it. There is no ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I like what the Finance and Budget Committee is pointing us towards. The latest project is the Kenya Agricultural Business Development project. The one for putting together community projects for young people in agriculture. These things have been there since I was a youth. I do not think I am a good example. The project has probably been there since Sen. (Dr.) Oburu was a young person. If these interventions in agriculture achieved the desired results, we would carry on. The problem is that, as a Senate, we are not involved in the design of this project. ... view
