• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. America is a valuable friend of Kenya, the region and Africa. It is important that the Committee makes progress and talks to the ambassador as they promised. The ambassador should come clean on this issue. We do not expect USA to talk down at us - to wait when an African country does legislation – like Uganda – then they start doing the things they are doing. They have to be humane. In the public domain, I have seen a conversation starting to emerge to the effect that somebody is claiming some Kenyans were ... view

• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for being accommodative. If Members have listened keenly, they have heard that 32 Kenyans have been jailed for 20 years each in a foreign country. This is the first time that the matter is coming before the Parliament of Kenya. Kenya and Uganda are both signatories to the East African Treaty. The President of Uganda and his Government cannot be paying lip service to the protocols of the East African Community, which allows for the free movement of people, goods and labour. However, when they find Kenyan people grazing their cattle on ancestral land; the ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, the clarification that I am seeking is that can you not find under Standing Order No.1, a small way we can convert this matter into an Adjournment Motion so that we call this friendly nation to order? If we cannot succeed, we should proceed to the East African Court of Justice where these people would have been tried and received fair service. view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to limit my comment to the Statement on pending bills by the Senator for Vihiga County. Let the country be reminded that the Government has cleared all the arrears owed to county governments. Furthermore, the money due for the new financial year 2023/2024 for July has been paid. The only reason why a governor would fail to pay a creditor through a pending bill is view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: because they had no money. This Committee should make it simple. You should write a letter to all the 47 governors so that they bring you a return that they have paid all the pending bills in the county because they are not owed any money by the national Government. I want to laud the Governor of Bungoma County. Sen. Lusaka is the only Governor who has decided to clear all the bills. There is no noise in Bungoma. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 16 of 2023) which is now on the Floor. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir these are very exciting times to live in. For the first time, in the long history that I have been in public service in this country both as a doctor and a parliamentarian where I have been privileged to serve as a Member of the National Assembly and Senate, the Government in office is ready and willing to release funds from the centre to the periphery. As ... view
• 8 Aug 2023 in Senate: Secondly, the popular National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) has been released to all Members of Parliament. The funds for Women Representatives have also been released. Last but not least and thanks to the mismanagement of the economy by the ‘handshake’ Government; all the monies owed to the county governments has now been released. The people of Kakamega will be very excited this afternoon to hear that on the 15th of July, Kshs1,097,574,932 for this financial year was given to their governor, Hon. Barasa. Therefore, Gov. Barasa is swimming in billions of shillings. I hope, like all other governors, he ... view
