12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
I thank Sen. Ogola for that information. I thought it was happening only in Vihiga and Kakamega counties; it is even happening in Homa Bay. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am congratulating you and vowing on this Floor that for the sake of the devolution family and as a champion of devolution, that I am doing this so as to help Mama Imbosa, nominated MCA. When she told me they were doing so to earn Kshs3,000, I felt sorry for her and I knew they are truly suffering. I am doing this for my cousin; the elected MCA, Silas Muyeyia. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am guided.

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
I am guided. However, this is so serious because they are doing so at the expense of oversight. To the extent that today, as I speak, there is no single contractor on site anywhere in the expansive Kakamega County, all the way from Matungu to Likuyani, a distance of over 200 kilometres. Therefore, I am doing it for the sake of my contractor from Mumias who last week got a stroke because of pending bills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we had strong county assemblies, the pending bills would be interrogated in the county assemblies. They would not be waiting ...

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion on the Report of the Mediation Committee on the National Rating Bill (National Assembly Bill. No.55 of 2022) as moved by the Chairperson of this Committee, Sen. Beatrice Ogola. Allow me to congratulate the Committee of this House together with the Committee of the National Assembly. When they came together in a Mediation Committee, led by the Hon. Joash Nyamoko and deputised by our colleague, Sen. John Methu Muhia, they have done a very good job. Allow me to also congratulate the Nominated Senator for Homa Bay County ...

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
I, therefore, thank this industry. Since Sen. Beatrice Ogola has taken the House through this Report by speaking to clause by clause as discussed in the Committee, I am not going to belabor it. However, I use this opportunity to urge my government to ensure that we employ more valuers. It is very difficult to access services of valuers for members of the public. In a big county like Kakamega, for example, you have to queue for a very long time to see Mr. Edwin Odor, our valuer. At the time he was doing it, he would also go to ...

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In the rule of relevance, could the Senator for Nandi County help me understand the relevance of what took place in Longisa Hospital, very unfortunate, to the matter at hand, National Rating? Could he help me?

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before we went on recess, I was contributing to this Motion. I had not anticipated that it would come this afternoon. So, I had not recollected my thoughts, but this is an important point. Over and above what I said before we went on recess, this issue of bursaries is promoting corruption not by the Members of Parliament (MPs) who control or governors, but people working at the bursary offices. Corruption is done to this extent. Our women who are mothers of our children at school and old men are forced to queue in the name ...

12 Nov 2024 in Senate:
I truly want to thank God that on some occasions I could come back from home with Kshs25 collected after my mother who had sold Chang’aa . My teachers would gracefully accept the Kshs25 and allow me a few more days in school. I was lucky at Kakamega High School, I met a gentleman called Mr. Peter Whales. Peter Whales was teaching me Chemistry at A Level. Purely because of the luck God gave me, because I was doing very well in his class, he got tired of me being sent away and then took over and educated me in ...
