• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think it is not just the Senate Majority Leader. It is also important for the Chairpersons of Committees since we have so many reports that we have not tabled in the House.

You need to help ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is my Senator in order to say what he has said? While I agree with the rest, I am not given a phone but at the same time I think we have discharged our duties. I want to tell the Senators wherever they are, that when you go for any public office, it is your duty and responsibility to prove to your electorate that you have taken a duty that you will carry to the end. We have one obligation to ensure that we send the messages but to be very honest, if we are talking ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the report of the CPAIC on the inquiries into the financial operations of Kiambu, Busia, Tana River Trans-Nzoia, Nyandarua, Migori, Kwale, Samburu, Kisumu and Kericho counties.

This means that the next Senate will have a big job to scrutinize accounts of 2016/2017 onwards. The queries that are being asked, ... view

• 4 Apr 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to tell my Senator that we should wait until the nominations are done, and then, we can point fingers. We have faced challenges in our hospitals regarding un-surrendered revenue. We have also had the doctors’ strike. The national and county governments should look at it. Governors have given their submissions but it is important for us to appreciate the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. It is clear on how we collect and surrender revenue and engage transparently for people to know how much we are collecting, not just from hospitals but we also ... view

• 28 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to ride on what my Senator has said.
