• 4 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I also stand to support the amendment. I will start by talking about the realities of what happens in counties. Right from the beginning, the expectations of devolution were that the real socio-economic development would take place. That would be in the development budget. However, I think the recurrent budget is also real. People work in counties and have different expectations. People have different provisions that they must meet.

I remember sometime back, one step forward we agree--- There was a time we actually had all the Bills coming and we were given paper work to show us which Bills had been agreed to and which ones were going to the National Assembly and then to the Senate.

• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking Sen. Njoroge for bringing this important amendment. I think it comes from the fact that from his observation, the bodies that have been entrusted by the Constitution to make sure that the interests of disabilities are executed, probably, have not been given enough teeth to bite.
