• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the counties should observe their legal obligations. This is a legal matter and I do not know the reason as to why the traders of Kitui County have not gone to court. There is time value for money. This money attracts interest and penalties from the banks where they borrowed the money. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to reiterate the same sentiments made by the Senator of Nairobi County, Sen. Sakaja. I am also a victim of the same scenario. We do not want to be seen by Kenyans, especially people from Nairobi or Machakos, as people who are attacking our predecessors. That is not the issue. I am not attacking Sen. Muthama. When we received the letter from KRA demanding for Kshs2.3 million from the previous office holders, I used diplomacy. I used my good officers, particularly my Personal Assistant (PA), who deals ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is the leadership that was standing. However, I have never seen Sen. Orengo excited like today. Could it be that he is excited because ‘baba’ was around? view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I have sat here waiting but it is time. I will not take much time like my colleagues have done. I wish to contribute to this important Bill that has been initiated by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County, Sen. Khaniri. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this very important Bill. I will not say what the distinguished Senator for Migori has said but it is his constitutional right to not support this Bill. The objectives for which the distinguished Senator for Vihiga brought this Bill is the very reason the ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: amendments so that we can accommodate his feelings and sentiments rather than rejecting it because we will just go round in circles. Madam Temporary Speaker, having said that, the character of most of these view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: at the county level is wanting. It is akin to the French Revolution of 1789 when we had the reign of terror. The problem is not the askaris or the ‘militia group’ but the intentions of individuals, for example, governors who act mischievously. Therefore, there is need to fashion or improve the contents of this important Bill to streamline the ethical conduct for these county askaris . If they breach any established law, they will be punished because they are not above the law. Madam Temporary Speaker, the askaris are known to be notorious in Nairobi especially at night. They ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Indeed, that is the point which I cannot overemphasize. The same has been put very well by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. Kenyans are very sad when they see such events happening. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a lot has been touched on. For now, these persons are supposed to enforce the regulations or even the by-laws of counties but at the end of the day, the buck stops with the governor. From time to time, governors should hold meetings with their directorate of inspectorates and have these people trained. They will stand to be surcharged for any properties of citizens which they damage. They could also be sacked. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: To summarise my submission this evening, I would say that in this country, we do not have a shortage of personnel who can handle the county inspectorate. We have well- disciplined youth known as the National Youth Service (NYS). I, among others here like Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko, were lucky to join the pre-university NYS training and we know the kind of discipline that goes on there. Indeed, we know we have over 10,000 of these hard working and brilliant men and women who can be recruited and take positions of the county askaris because they are known to be well behaved ... view
