• 2 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, large sums of money have been stolen from both the YEDF and the NYS. We have not seen any recoveries or anybody--- view
• 1 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment which has been proposed by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. The amendment is a very reasonable proposal going by the figures which are before us. The average revenue, as he stated, was 13 per cent over the past four years. The Treasury should not, therefore, use arbitrary figures or percentages to deprive counties of money. When you look at the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) on revenue projection - that is on No.67 on Page 18 - you will realise that they have projected revenue in the 2016/2017 Financial Year to be Kshs1.5 ... view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support this Procedural Motion and welcome the nomination of my able Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget to be a Member of the Pan African Parliament (PAP). Sen. Billow Kerrow is a very good leader who has the capacity to represent the country at the PAP. I am sure he will articulate issues affecting the Africans and improve the image of our country. I hope that he will not forget his county while he is away. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 18 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support the Petition from Bukhayo Central Ward, Busia County. Article 201(a) of the Constitution states that:- “There shall be openness and accountability including public participation in financial matters” If county governments carry out public participation to create awareness so that people in the counties know what is happening, we will reduce petitions to the Senate. Under Article 96 of the Constitution, it is the role and mandate of the Senate to oversight. We need to strengthen our role as the Senate, so that we can interrogate some of the things in the counties. Petitions come ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45 (2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the Youth Enterprise Development Fund.

• 16 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to congratulate you for the Communication about the Budget Policy Statement. It is very important for us to scrutinize this document in various stages because it affects us.

Therefore, it is critical for us to know how much of the money will be channeled to counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view

• 11 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice on the issue of the Sessional Committees before the House. I would like to comment on the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee (CPAIC). This is a very important Committee as it deals with oversight and the performance of counties. It is, therefore, very important that the Committee works closely with the county assemblies who conduct oversight in the counties. The Committee also needs to guide the county assemblies on how to legislate so that some of the legislation is not punitive. For instance, in my county, rates that used ... view
• 10 Feb 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add the interest of my county. IDPs of 1992 are still living at the centres. We have a very large group, over 5,000, who meet weekly at St. Immaculate. view
