• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a time we had even suggested that a Speakers’ Hour or a Senators’ Speaker Hour because we have it coming in as statements. This will be a time to just talk about our own counties. We talked about what is happening, or the issues affecting in counties, so that we find a solution. I think the structure that we have now is that of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. Let them be seized of this matter, depending on where the Petition will go to. As the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations keeps ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the report that has been tabled on the floor of the Senate. When the member of the Committee on Health Sen. Olekina was making his presentation, I thought he would go a little further and inform the House on what happened between the completion of this report and its tabling. They both belong to the same Committee. I looked at the signatures and two Members have not signed the report. This is Sen. Olekina and one other Member whom I will not mention because they are not in the House. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, something interesting is happening both at the Committee level and maybe at a higher level. I have gone through this well-written report. If there is anyone studying health issues, especially during times of crisis and the format that should be followed, flouting of that format and engagement; this report can make a good piece of theoretical information. If I had a student who was interested in this area, I would refer them to this report. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: I thank the people involved in writing this report. Just looking at the level of analysis and research, it is in-depth. The work of this Committee involved a lot of information coming from various stakeholders. Part of the submissions came from the suppliers. They got a sub-sample of some of the suppliers and have listed about 21 suppliers. They engaged the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI). view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, they have put together a piece of writing that should be able to give insights on what happened. As other Members have said and as we said before, the Implementation Committee is non-existent in the Senate, which also complicates the issue of follow-up. The issue of timelines put in this report made sense at that time. That should have been the investigation period or the implementation period. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you should give guidance on how we should proceed given that the tabling and the debate of this report is happening now when some of ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it still puts us in the same situation. I am giving a technical input about a way forward on very clear timelines in this report. What do we do? For whatever reasons, this report is coming in late to the Floor of this the House and we have various recommendations. Do we just start this procedure? Do we have different dates? It is a technicality. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the Committee gives the reply can you guide us on this technicality because some of these issues are still outstanding. When we read part of it, we find that Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act has been flouted in various respects. We want to look at the specific timelines that have been given for the various recommendations and give insight about how we can go about it. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: I remember that when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, we had the ad hoc Committee first lead by Sen. Sakaja and then by Sen. Kasanga. They did enormous work. As a Senate, we were so dedicated to the outbreak of COVID-19 situation. Later on, at the 76th sitting of the ad hoc Committee, there was a merger. This House agreed that this issue should be handled by the Committee on Health. I would like to thank both Committees for the effort that was put in. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some of these issues go outside this Senate. When we do an introspection of ourselves, sometimes it goes beyond us. We had the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) meeting in Naivasha and these issues were well articulated. The Senate came forward and tried to put this into process as much as possible. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: The Committee resolved to inquire into allegations of procurement irregularities. These had been coming out from various Statements that were brought to this House and queries that kept coming up from time to time. What were the red flags? At that time, they included utilization--- view
