• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Petition. It is appalling that an illegal account was opened in Rafiki Micro- Finance and yet, by law, county revenue can only be deposited into the County Revenue Fund. We would like - through this particular Petition - a full account to be made for all the revenues that have been collected by this county government over the last three years. It has been lining private pockets through these offshore accounts. Secondly, it is amazing that in this Petition, the Governor spent over Kshs1 million to install Closed ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If he has used public funds to put up CCTV and purchase a generator for himself, I fear that even the funds for construction of that residence were public funds. He must be investigated. I condemn and put it on record that the security for those MCAs is not hypothetical. Governor Akaranga physically attacked me with goons in a public function because I had raised this matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would like those MCAs to be protected and I want to warn Governor Akaranga that he is not going to intimidate us and ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: I rise on a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Karaba in order to suggest that there is anything wrong in any of those girls becoming wives of their employers? Since time immemorial, employees have become wives to their employers. Is he in order? view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Following the debate that has been going on, my mind is provoked to the extent that maybe, in future, we should consider a provision where such a report is first tabled and then the 20 minutes given for discussion come at a later time when we have looked at the findings of the Committee and contents of the Report. This will enable us to make useful interventions. view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, border communities find themselves at a challenging geographical location in this country. We have people in our county whose wives are from Uganda. In our culture, a husband’s home is a wife’s home. In our culture too, the wife’s tribe is the husband’s tribe. So, when women who are married in our area are asked to go back to Uganda to bring their parents’ identification documents, how do such documents of Ugandan citizens help to register Kenyans? There is a young man from Musoli Village in Ikolomani, Kakamega County whose wife is a Ugandan. He has ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.45 (2)(b) to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. The Chairperson should:- (1) Table before the Senate pending bills of all the 47 counties as at the end of the Financial Year 2014/2015. (2) Explain how the county governments incurred the pending bills. (3) Inform the House when the respective governors will settle those pending bills. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
• 24 Feb 2016 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Five years ago when my Public Accounts Committee in the National Assembly was investigating a scandal involving printing of Kenya currency by De la Rue, we did extensive investigations and I want to reveal here that in the confidentiality of the investigations, the designs that the Chairman is talking about were given to me. If you were to ask me, I have seen the designs for Kshs100, Kshs500, Kshs1,000 and Kshs200,000. They are there and they are finished. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what is missing are two things. May be the Chairman could tell ... view

• 23 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I compliment you for opening up to Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o to ask for this Statement. It was a difficult decision. Having done so, may I point out two things: First, the Speaker of the Senate is a Senator and whenever he makes a statement through Communication, he normally allows us to intervene--- view
