• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The importance of this particular report is such that I was expecting the entire House to be here. We are talking about the mother of oversight. There can be no oversight without the CPAC and the CPICSF. Using very strong words, I congratulate this committee for this commendable report. view

• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: The work that this committee is doing is so sensitive and attractive to the public that little do you miss an item in the media about the work of this committee. Sen. M. Kajwang’, as I congratulate the entire team, I also have personal congratulations for you. You are not only doing a good job in this House, but also in the committee. It appears that doing a good job is the other name of the leadership in Homa Bay. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I know all governors have challenges, but we must accept when a governor makes an effort. Gov. Gladys Wanga, just like her Senator, has also put her best foot forward. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a comment by the Chair of this committee caught my attention a few days ago in respect of a House in Mandera. He told me that he came across a residential house that had been built for Kshs285 million. I am trying to imagine. Does it have 12, 20 or 58 bedrooms? I will find time to go and read the entire report on that house. ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I was going to refuse, but when I looked at his age, being a young man, he is very close to Gen Z. I better be informed here rather than on the streets. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is a housekeeping issue that I will leave to the Chairman to manage. As far as the House is concerned, this is their Report. It is not a report of a subcommittee. Therefore, I would have wanted to know the reason other Members did not sign. Allow me bragging rights, Chairman of the Committee. You have had very good words for the County Assembly of Kakamega. Like you, I congratulate the Chair, Hon. Kelvin Mahelo, MCA for Chegulo-Butali, for being a good Chair of that committee in Kakamega. He had started getting lost. You remember ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Secondly, it is not a question of my region. It is not a question of my community or my county. We must encourage accounting officers to identify contractors from those counties. It is not because we are denying the contractors from outside the county an opportunity to participate. Nonetheless, this is for the important reason that if we are talking about Homa Bay, Turkana and projects in Kakamega County, when you allow local contractors to partake in these particular tenders, then at the end of the contract, the project is complete and it remains in Homa Bay County. If the ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Yes, I would like him to inform me, especially in view of the accolades that I gave him at the beginning of my presentation. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, be so. He has informed you after informing me. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having congratulated the Committee for flagging out and resolving the issue of fixed assets, there is something I want to say about fixed assets. Mr. Chairman, try and put further pressure to the leadership of our county assemblies. We want to see the fixed asset called, “the debate chamber” in all our 47 counties. If you go to Kilifi or Mandera and quite a number of other county assemblies, for example, they have put up modern debate chambers, which is a ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: walking is a “no”. The EACC, that was not the intention of Chapter 15 in the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is this careless approach by heads of certain institutions to conduct themselves--- I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Please, give me one minute. view
