• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Statement by Sen. Khaniri and congratulate him on all the topical issues he brings to this House, which always help the rest of us because issues like these are prevalent across all our counties. We do not want to hijack it of course by riding over it, but allow us to just use this platform to also look at some of the unfinished projects that are posing health hazards and many different things to our people. As Sen. Khaniri has put it, this project has been financed by the World ... view

• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was saying that we cannot be told there are budgetary constraints, especially with projects that have good source of financing such as the World Bank and other development partners. The World Bank, through the Kenya Urban Support Programme (KUSP), also works in Isiolo County. Similar things are being witnessed where projects have been ongoing for so long. In the past, partner finance projects saw the light of day. If partner finance projects are not seeing the light of day now, what are we saying? Our counties have stalled projects. Have our counties now become ... view

• 17 May 2022 in Senate: consequence for those who have not done this work. At what point does Government ensure that performance or negligence has a consequence? For as long as there is no consequence, nothing will be done. People tell us tell us that while abroad, you cannot drive carelessly because people are very disciplined. It is because there is a consequence to not doing the right thing or not performing. Nonetheless, in a country where there is no consequence, what on earth will make anybody - be it a governor, County Executive Committee (CEC) Member - to do anything? This impunity must be ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am a Member of the Committee. However, there are a number of things that had not been concluded by the time of tabling this report. As you may be aware, the Committee has been summoning the CS, EPRA and other stakeholders with regards to the rising cost of fuel. You all know that the issue of fuel cost has been ongoing for a very long time. A fuel levy had been put view

• 17 May 2022 in Senate: in place to make sure that the market shocks are dealt with. As a Committee, we have been on it. This new rise, that has become too much, has made us call the CS. A letter went out two weeks ago, but unfortunately, hon. Members were away. I am happy that Sen. Cherargei understands this. There was a physical meeting that was called, but we could not sit because of the constraints of time and other things that are going on. On behalf of our Committee and the Chairperson, as a Member, we take responsibility for this. I assure the ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to thank Sen. Kwamboka for presenting this. However, I am a bit disappointed with the Committee. If there is one committee whose work is urgent, which involves life and death, the rule of law and disintegration of our country should we not be on top of things, then it is this Committee. I was sad when she read out the request I made to the Committee dated 4th August, 2021. That was about murder of a conservationist. It does not really matter that she was a conservationist but it was about murder of one ... view
