• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a bit confused; is not getting what we set out to do such a fantastic thing? I am a bit confused as to all the accolades. While I believe the effort that has been put in, for us to celebrate for not achieving what we set out to do, it seems a little bit warped to me. view

I stand to support the Division of Revenue Bill as proposed by the Senate Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Anybody who says that the Senate has no jurisdiction in this matter as you have already rightly put is totally ignorant, but let me not go there.

Article 174(f) of the Constitution provides for subsidiarity to ensure services are offered according to the proximity. For instance, the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) of 2019 has shown that we need much more to go to the counties. I support. view

• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: In the Statement, the Committee should state: (1) The measures that have been put in place to improve the state of our embassies indicating whether there is any policy or continued plans to address the same. (2) Give reasons why taxpayers continue to shoulder exorbitant rents for Kenyan diplomats even where the country owns property because of lack of maintenance, despite the Kenyan Government having embassy properties that are supposed to house diplomats. (3) State the measures being put in place to streamline the services offered by the Kenyan embassies and the consulates abroad to ensure that Kenyans get efficient ... view
