• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly support this most important Bill and do so with a sense of nostalgia because apparently this will be the last such Bill that I will be speaking to in my political career as a legislator. I draw the attention of this House to the mischief of Government. We have been told--- view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this marks the last time I am speaking to this kind of Bill in my tenure as a legislator in the Republic of Kenya. This is the last Division of Revenue Bill in this Senate and because I will be gracefully exiting the Senate, I do not think I will have another opportunity because at that time I will not be a Member of the Twelfth Parliament and the Second Senate of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be running for the governor of Kakamega County. I would like to draw attention with the usual spirit of bipartisanship that has been championed by many among others, specifically the Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kembi-Gitura. Look at this mischief. There is a public relations office (PR) on the Schedule where the Government is telling us that they are rolling out 34.6 per cent of the Ksh.2.6 trillion budget for devolution. That is true. However, practically, what is on paper is that in this Financial Year, the Budget of the Government is Ksh.2.6 trillion. If you take ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: That is a village polytechnic in Shinyalu Constituency. It is called Shilolavakhali Polytechnic view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir protect me from that laughter. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will slow down. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me give the spelling of Shilolavakhali Village Polytechnic. view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: The governor has refused to equip the village polytechnic which I painstakingly built in Idakho South. He has refused to equip other Village Polytechnic which I built painstakingly using the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in Idakho East. I want to sound it to the Governor of Kakamega County that it is wrong for him to target my clan in Shinyalu, Ikolomani and Lurambi simply because he feels that, he takes affirmative action---I do not know what he is looking for. I expected that he would give them more money so as to woo them away from me to him. Mr. ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could not agree more with the Senator for Nandi County. In a case like Chemelil Sugar Company, when the conditional grant will be released, then the shareholding of Chemelil Company should be domiciled between the two county governments of Kisumu and Nandi unless Nandi County would wish to put up its own factory. I urge the Members of this House to support this just in the same spirit we supported a few counties to be given money for the construction of county headquarters. Speaking to the issue of abuse of funds, I assure governors that ... view
• 23 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. That will be for another day. However, I have made my point. There is an allocation of Kshs8.7 billion in this budget that is meant for irrigation (Galana Kulalu). When we took Kshs15 billion in Galana Kulalu, the Jubillee Government did not tell Kenyans how many bags of maize were harvested. This is robbery. If they had harvested any maize, Turkanas in Turkana, Pokots and Tugens in Baringo and Pokots in West Pokot would not be dying because of hunger. We must put the Government to account to ensure that not a single ... view
