• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion by my Committee on Finance and Budget. I know that I have a lot of time, but will be very brief to the issues. The issue of the leased medical equipment keeps on recurring and that makes me wonder, as a Senator. I fail to understand why we cannot revise the illegal contract and make the heads roll. The second issue is own source revenue deficit that Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri explained in detail. I am aware that my County, Machakos County, is going to receive ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: by the executives in the counties. We fought this war with the executive of Machakos County at the beginning of our term because the executive did not want to release money to the county assembly. Instead, the executive wanted to emasculate, intimidate and threaten the Members of the County Assembly to dilute their oversight role. We need to change the laws to allow the National Treasury to split that amount at source. They should send part of that money to the executive and the other part to the county assembly kitty. That will cure that malady. Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri has ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support my brother’s statements. Having gone there with my brother sometime last week, we did some intensive investigation. It is very interesting because despite the fact that my brother has done a good job here, he is somehow timid to state the truth of the matter.

• 11 Sep 2019 in Senate: I have heard that Senators will visit the place next week. At the end of the day, you will establish that there is a war between the Governor of Kitui County and hon. Kivunzi who is the area Member of the County Assembly (MCA) and a member of the Wiper Party. It is due to political differences which have led to the closure of Kyuso Level 4 Hospital. It is not purely because of matters of insecurity. As Sen. Murkomen has said, if indeed it is a question of insecurity, what is the status of the local citizens? If there ... view
• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity this afternoon, as we close the Session. First, I wish to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for bringing this very important Motion, which seeks an extension of the retirement age for PWDs in the public service and the academic realm. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and Sen. Mwaura have passionately presented and supported it. Therefore, with equal strength and might, I will endevour to support it. It is clear that the Mover of the Motion has given a nice synthesis of the international laws that deals with persons with such challenges. She has ... view

• 8 Aug 2019 in Senate: The legal realm on other enabling statues that deals with employment and labour laws has not been mentioned, but it also needs to be amended. As suggested by the Mover of the Motion, the period will change from 60 to 65 years in the civil service and from 70 to 75 years in the realm of academia. This needs to be captured in other employment plethora of statutes. If causes of action in law are delayed or deemed not to run because of challenges, for example, physical disabilities or personal injuries which is normally three years, I do not see ... view
