• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: It is important to have rationalization of human resources in this country, both at the county and national level, so that labour is linked to productivity. We should have job descriptions and what people do and the outcomes should be clear. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you and support. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for allowing me to continue from where I left. The issue of County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) is critical. During the first phase of devolution, many counties did not understand how to properly constitute CIDPs because the first sets of CIDPs were just plans that were not categorically put together. However, with time, the capacity--- view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, yesterday I started speaking five minutes to 6.30 p.m. and I have 15 minutes to continue. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to second the Adjournment Motion. We all know that we are proceeding on a recess for about a week. This is a good time to refresh ourselves, touch base with the counties and do some of the committee work. This recess is part of the activities in the Calendar of the Senate. The Calendar is already in place. Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. view

• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to support this Motion, which is critical for development in the counties. Most counties now have the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs). Initially when the CIDPs were done, they did not meet the requirements. Now the CIDPs have been improved because of capacity building. What we need to know is how they are linked to Vision 2030, as long term development goals for the country, and how they are synchronized to ensure that it becomes a reality in the counties. The development plans at the county and national level should be synched. At the national ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: the ground do not match. This is a clear indication that CIDPs are not being used effectively as a tool for development. We also asked the Controller of Budget why they do not monitor and evaluate the projects. We told her of the need to time, monitor and evaluate the projects that are receiving disbursements in bits, so as to ensure that a certain phase is achieved. However, she told us that they do not have the tools and mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. She said that monitoring would require them to hire new staff, look at feasibility reports and ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also want to say a few things about this Bill and its importance to the counties. This was the subject of a petition by the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). They went through a lot to state that there was inequality at the county level. They had to prove that a certain project had not been conducted because of their relationship with the governor. However, this Bill now allows equitable distribution of development in the county. The politics between Members should not play out in terms of development. That ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to join you in welcoming the girls from Chief Mbogori Girls’ Secondary School to the Senate. Some of them have not had the chance to interact with their leaders when making legislation, so this is an opportunity for them to do so. This is also an opportunity for them to also realize that they are leaders in their own right in what they do as young as they are. view
