• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I love the way you remind me but it is because I do not have eyes at the back of my head. So I could only report on what I was seeing before me. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I cry because I buried those children in Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma and Trans Nzoia counties. If I had the power, I would have gone elsewhere. When the children of the rich die, we quickly see adverts in the newspapers but out of 147 deaths, we rarely saw adverts in the papers. That suggests the social background of those children. In fact, if Kenyans would care to remember the television footages that came, you could see how desperate their homes were, even the central region where those children were going back to be buried. This ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I recall that a few seconds ago, you did exactly what Sen. Sang has said. Would I be in order to make use of this opportunity to thank you profusely for bowing yourself into the future Government? view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this Message. I would like to urge the Committee to give it the seriousness it deserves because I have personally been to Kilifi County Assembly. I know for a fact that if those ceilings are going to be applied, then a very noble project will stall. This also applies to several county assemblies. It will, therefore, be important for this Committee to come up with an answer that will respond to the needs of development of various county assemblies. In fact, when Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo was a Permanent Secretary (PS), he gave us ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I recall that in the Parliament of 2002 to 2008, there was a similar attempt and the entire National Assembly stood against it. President Kibaki intervened because the then Minister was now succumbing to the wishes of a small cartel made of a group of people who currently have interest in banking and who do not want competition.

• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the former President Kibaki has now exited State House. This powerful cartel has finally gotten hold of the Jubilee Government and they now want to control the business environment to the extent that the small people who want to do their own type of banking and eventually grow to become big have no chance. Who are these people? view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday you directed that I give this House a Report on the Status of the Reports of Audited Accounts of all the 47 Counties. The first question which I raised this morning with the Auditor-General was the issue of the delays in the release of the reports. He said that when those reports came from the field and were brought to his table, he found that they were not satisfactory. He told me that they were prepared in the traditional way that reports have been done under the old Constitution. Further, he said that using the ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can answer it now. view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, due to shortage of personnel, the Auditor-General has created nine hubs. This means that in a particular hub, he has instructed a maximum of four and a minimum of two officers. When they are in a hub and they descend on a particular county, they are supposed to exhaust it completely, return to Nairobi, make reports and go back to the next county. This ends up taking a long process. No county will be given priority; it is just like picking from a bag. That is how those twelve counties have been left ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will do exactly that. I would like to respond to the Senators as follows: Regarding the question raised by the Senator for Nyandarua County, I will impress upon him that there is need for him to expedite the process and give Nyandarua County priority. May I clarify something to the Senator for Narok County. We can bear with the Auditor-General on the issue of Narok because the audits that were in the newspapers necessitated a special audit for a special project. That was done conclusively and cannot be the reason he is assumed not to ... view
