• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator of Uasin Gishu should just declare his interest in this matter as far as my comment is concerned. He is not an ignorant man. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you. You have saved him. I was going to crush him. He is a very lucky man this afternoon. I was saying something very serious that this drunkenness with power, as I feared in 2014 in my draft Bill, has become so infectious that today, they call their wives first lady. They even have first daughters, first sons, first mothers, and first concubines. Madam Temporary Speaker, the sad ending of this “first” something is that they are first something with a budget. You know, as the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAHR), ... view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: when I was insisting that the Governor of Kakamega, Fernandes Barasa, should not be allowed to have a budget for his wife. Due to bureaucracy in legislation and the way business is transacted, the first so- called lady of Kakamega is still enjoying a budget. Theft! Theft of public funds! As if I were being prophetic, probably out of that budget of the office of the first lady, two weeks ago, the Governor of Kakamega bought a bulletproof Lexus worth Kshs54 million--- view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee. He has already moved and called the Governor of Nyamira. They are coming next week. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: I want to appeal that his appearance should not be just in the Committee. It should be the Committee of the Whole. We want to be there and pin him down. Pin him down, Madam Temporary Speaker. I saw him rudely dismiss a distinguished scholar, a Senior Counsel (SC), when he was before the Committee. These kinds of jokes--- Governors, even when you come this way, we--- view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I hate to interrupt the Leader of the Majority. Standing Order No. 105 of this House knows our leader of majority as somebody with very good command of English. He is actually educated, trained, examined and qualified in communication. Could he explain what he means by the so-called NADCO Report or could he be quietly communicating something to the House, so that I can whip the House to help him achieve the desired result? view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Debates keep on raging in this country on who is the actual enemy of devolution. It is not too clear, but I am starting to think that Senators, governors and Members of the National Assembly are actually enemies of devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members of the National Assembly are enemies of devolution, including myself. I say this with maximum respect because the object of this Bill is a simple thing - to provide a tool to transfer additional funds from the national Government to the devolved governments in accordance with the recommendation of the Constitution. ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: The donors must be thinking we are mad people. What has happened is that the borrowed money has left the respective banks of those countries. The money is with the National Treasury. Those countries are already charging interest. However, the money is at the National Treasury because Senators and Members of the National Assembly cannot agree; and governors and Members of the National Assembly are quarrelling. Do we really want devolution to succeed? Sen. Osotsi is here, he is in this House. We were at an informal but important meeting yesterday. It brought together Senators, Members of the National Assembly, ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: any mention of that thing, Road Maintenance Levy Fund; it is a debate that cannot end. We have removed it completely from the Bill until the courts have made a decision. This is because, if you do anything here, it brings in the long story of sub judice and so on. So, we have put it aside completely, and then we have remained with those three schedules. So, these are the three schedules that I want to speak to for you to appreciate and pass it quickly this morning. In the First Schedule, the Kshs7.54 billion will go towards the ... view
