• 24 May 2023 in Senate: services because the people are not getting proper ones. They move from far-flung areas to get services in Chuka town. We recommend that the county headquarters are relocated to Kathwana as earlier planned and agreed by the public in Tharaka-Nithi. The Report recommends that we need to have a multi-agency committee and these recommendations must be implemented. With those remarks, I beg to support. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply that the Senate adopts the report of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on a Statement sought on the relocation of national Government administrative services from Chuka town to Kathwana county headquarters, Tharaka-Nithi County, laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday 19th April, 2023.

With those few remarks, I beg to ... view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Petition. What is happening at the TSC is an unfortunate situation. Many teachers have a lot of problems. They are the ones who work in every corner of this country. They work in worst conditions in most distant areas, yet they are not given what they deserve. The TSC has become an entity of its own and the CEO is unapproachable. If anybody has a problem, even getting a hearing is an issue. It is high time we sorted the problems. Teachers are the backbone of this country because they develop all ... view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This Bill is very important. I know it was in the 12th Parliament, but did not succeed. I am aware that many Kenyans have lost their money investing with the government. There are many people who went into contract with the Government as suppliers and contractors. They have not received their money for the last 10 years or so. When devolution started, many Kenyans had hopes on doing business with the Government because money had been devolved and was available at the grassroot level. Unfortunately, what happened was unforgivable. Many people who did their contractual ... view

• 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
