• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: With regard to this very important subject, this is purely legal. I pray that the Senator for Nandi County, who is not listening, but is engaged with the Senate Majority Leader--- view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Senator, I need your ears. This matter is purely legal. I would want to help you by telling you to refer to the National Police Service Act, the Evidence Act Cap.80 and the Criminal Procedure Act Cap.75. Look at the relevant provisions with regard to the subject matter being debated so that basically--- view
• 11 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I would plead with you to bring those substantive amendments so that we can cure the defects in that regard. I think this is not a question of bringing a Motion. We can have it amended outrightly. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice in support of the Motion by my brother from Kirinyaga County, Sen. Kibiru. I will be brief and, therefore, I may not utilise the 10 minutes. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: I wish to go on record, as the Senator for Machakos County, having undertaken a pertinent research on the reports of the Attorney-General on various stalled projects throughout the country. A lot has been said here about stalled projects under county governments. I wish to state that the law is very clear. I will read Article 226(3) which states as follows- view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: “Subject to clause (4), the accounts of all governments and State organs shall be audited by the Auditor-General.” The Auditor-General always prepares elaborate audit queries for counties every financial year. Sen. (Dr.) Zani and I did an analysis and came up with a comprehensive analysis of stalled projects. Out of the 47 counties, there are 14 which I am not giving a clean bill of health, but they do not have many queries on stalled projects. Before I go into that, I wish to state that every time the Auditor-General raises audit queries, the buck should stop with the governor. ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: liable for any loss arising from that use and shall make good the loss, whether the person remains the holder of the office or not.” In other words, governors should not escape from the dragnet of the law. Even if they left office, they should be followed, even if they invested stolen funds at the end of the world. I have some of the Auditor-General’s reports for the FY 2017/2018. I have extracted some excerpts which clearly show mammoth loss of millions of shillings from the taxpayers. For example, Machakos County Government awarded a contract amounting to Kshs11 million for ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: do not tell tales but that is disrespect to the dead. Despite receiving Kshs41 million out of the contract sum of Kshs43 million, the firm constructing the outpatient block at Kitui Referral Hospital were demobilised from the site without completing the project. In Turkana County, we have stalled projects that amount to Kshs170 million. This includes the construction of Kanaodon Service Water Irrigation Scheme where they paid Kshs74.5 million. They spent Kshs19 million in the construction of Lorugum Social Hall. The Construction of the administrator’s office in Nakalale Ward was at a cost of Kshs12 million yet all these projects ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Kindly give me two minutes, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Auditor-General’s Report indicates that this country has lost a lot of money and that has happened by design and not by fluke. It is the governors who do not have the human heart who are stealing left right and centre. All those governors should be behind the bars. view
