• 23 May 2023 in Senate: The money is committed, agreements signed, contractual work done, but no payments have been done. It the not the same money that somebody should have been waiting for because it has already been appropriated. If there is going to be construction of a hospital, laboratory or a road, the money is already there in the budget. The most unfortunate thing is that the money does not find its way to the people who do the work. It is diverted or misappropriated. The people who misappropriate this money are not prosecuted nor take liability for it. The Auditors go there and ... view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. Mariam Omar for bringing this timely Bill. It gives us a way to develop regulations. The Bill also stipulates that anyone who does construction works in the county and national Government has to account for what they have signed for. This will save Kenyans. However, we must save Kenyans who are suffering, others are in depression, some have died and others have gone crazy because of frustrations. Somebody loses billions or millions after investing in the Government who are unable to pay them. The money is appropriated in the budget, but I do not ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. First and foremost, I want to send my heartfelt condolences to the people of Marsabit and the three families that have lost their loved ones. As you are aware, and as has been said by the Mover, Marsabit has been experiencing many years of conflict. Many lives and livelihoods have been lost. As a result of that, we have lost prominent leaders of this country, as mentioned by the Mover. However, we are not seeing any improvements. Some of the sources of conflict are as a result of underdevelopment in these ... view

• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Politics also plays a part. As a result of these conflicts, many schools have been closed, many children have not been going to school and have been displaced. Some of them have moved across the border to other countries. They have lost their livelihoods. However, year in, year out, we are saying the same things. I do not know what we are going to do. This is a country where we have all the resources and forces like the view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: , Army, and police. Unfortunately, as the Mover said, there were suspicions that there must be a hidden agenda to keep the pastoralists busy, so that they can continue killing themselves and so that underdevelopment can continue. Otherwise, I do not know what to say. It is very unfortunate. I think this involves policy issues that are hidden from us because we cannot be talking about people being killed every day, yet we are in an independent country. We are not in a failed State. Therefore, there must be a reason the pastoralists are always fighting. They fight because they ... view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Statement on supply of oxygen. As you are aware, supply of oxygen is necessary, especially during emergencies. This is because there are many accidents happening, but oxygen is scarce in most parts of the country. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Kenyans died due to lack of oxygen. Another thing is that in far-flung counties, most of us have the plans, but oxygen is in short supply. Oxygen is not enough for all those places and they cannot manufacture their own oxygen. Another thing is that, for any person who unfortunately gets sick ... view
• 26 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Waziri, you are aware that the title deed is an important document in this country. Most parts of the country, especially in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera Counties are dealing with issues to do with title deeds. When will the Ministry open offices in these counties to issue title deeds? It is difficult to travel from Mandera or Wajir Counties to look for title deeds in Nairobi. When will you have a regional office that can give title deeds? What is your plan? view
