• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement by Sen. Chute of Marsabit. As you are aware, they are issuing money for all the contracted works. It is 10 per cent of the initial price. However, this money is supposed to be retained for only one year at most. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose of this money in any business is actually for cases where work is not well done; either the work is shoddy or it is not completed. However, this money is never paid to any of the contractors. It sits for many years in ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sijamaliza. There is something missing here. view

The food distribution is done at sub-counties. Some areas have more sub-counties than others and one sub-county may have more population than another one. However, the food is given across board.

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: Currently, if you see what is going on in Nairobi City County through the rivers flowing, it is more or less sewage.
