• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the second small point I was trying to make was that for purposes of general information to all the 47 governors of the country, the Public Accounts and Investment Committee of this Senate is taking whistle- blowers reports very seriously. In fact, already the County Government of Trans Nzoia has attracted whistle-blowers who have made extensive submissions to the Speaker who has marked the same to our Committee. We have already requested for a special audit. This shows that we are not going to lie on roulettes, but make sure that we are proactive. Finally, Mr. ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that there is need for us to quickly constitute this Committee, but I want to remind you that for my Bill to find itself on the Order Paper today, the Speaker sought my concurrence for it to be moved to today. So, the least I would have expected out of courtesy is that you consult with me and we agree before you make that variance. I would like this to be on record because this is the way we do business. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government must stop playing games with tax payers. The money that is being used to do this road is not from anybody’s pocket. We pay taxes and we demand services. Could the Chairperson tell us why the work has been delayed? He has only confirmed that the work has been delayed. Why is this the case? Is it because of the contractor or the Government? view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Chairperson in order to mislead the House that the reason there was a delay is because of challenges of transition, when we know that we transited from the Kibaki Government to the Uhuru Government smoothly at Kasarani Stadium? So, what are these transition challenges that were there? The Treasury was working, Mr. Njiraini was collecting money through the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and all the donors were committed to their contracts. What is it that you were talking about? Why are you misleading us? Tell us that you do not ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson has avoided to answer the question by Sen. Wetangula on why Kshs1.2 billion has been put for maintenance of 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
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also would like to set the record straight. Our cry that roads in the western region have been neglected is because all the entry points into western region are impenetrable. If you approach from Kisumu, there is no road, Kisumu to Busia, there is no road, Maili Tisa to Kitale, there is no road and Ainabkoi to Kapsabet, there is no road. We have no way of entering the former Western Province for real. Now, when the Deputy Speaker then attempts to compare that situation with what obtains in his place, he should also inform the ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg that you allow the statement to be given to the Senator because after she cried here following this matter, she had to fall to my wife to comfort her because my wife is the agemate of her mother. So, please, help us because we do not want to continue having her at our house. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the table of response in terms of figures, I want to thank the Chairperson for the transparency. In this answer, Kakamega County, the biggest rural county in Kenya, with a population of two million people, has returned the highest number of complaints after Nairobi. Nairobi has 52 and Kakamega has 44. They are closely followed by Bungoma which is also the third-largest in population, which has 34 complaints. The intention of the recruitment was to attempt to correct the imbalance within the police force as per ethnicity and, therefore, this answer. Could the Chairperson tell ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you look at Article 179 (4) of the Constitution, the Governor and Deputy Governor are the chief executive and deputy chief executive of the county respectively. From your Communication, I am persuaded that the only way that you can proceed is if that charge was against the office and, therefore, it is not possible for the Deputy Governor to be impeached separately as the attempt is being made. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.45. view
