• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Statement by Sen. Onyonka. When you talk about pending bills, it means there was some delivery of service by contractors in those counties. It also means that those contractors spent their resources to undertake those projects, with the hope that county governments will pay. When there is delay in payment, it affects the lives of those contractors and their families. They are even unable to plan and project their future. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the function of this House, under Article 96 and 100 of the Constitution, is ... view

• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: I agree with what Sen. Maanzo said, that this House should come up with rules and regulations, so that counties are mandated, as a matter of procedure and law, to ensure that those contractors are paid. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is also another way that corruption is exercised in counties. After a contractor has done their work, they are supposed to be paid. Sometimes those who are supposed to pay put certain conditions, that you give some consideration before you are paid. It is an area that we need to focus on as a House, so that we help ... view

• 25 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not been a governor before but the Member who was on the Floor, tried to define a pending bill. Is he in order to mislead the House? A pending bill is a bill that is not paid even if the project is not completed, once a certificate is issued to be paid, it should be paid. It is a pending bill. However, the Member seems to give us the impression that it should be a service given, completed, approved, and certified. According to me, that is not the definition. view

• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.56(1)(b) to make a Statement on the activities of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, for the period commencing 14th October, 2022, to 30th March, 2023.

The Committee also undertook one county visit and held two retreats. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in respect of the legislative proposals, the Committee reviewed the following Bills considered during the 12th ... view

• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for me to notify the House that yesterday, we were able to receive further four responses and, therefore, we only have four outstanding questions without responses from the relevant Ministries. It is not eight but four. The Committee further undertook a county visit to Kitui County in respect of a Statement sought by Sen. Wambua on the heightened insecurity in Mutha Ward, Kitui County, on Wednesday, 26th October, 2022 and tabled its report on 20th November, 2023. The Committee made a number of recommendations to the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, the Independent ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you Deputy Speaker. This is a House of record and whoever alleges must prove. Mr. Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform my learned colleague that she should acquaint herself with the nature of evidence to produce. A video clip alone of the said CS alone is not enough. As you give that leeway for her to produce the evidence, it is important for her to ensure that she brings to this House what is admissible in the House to prove the allegations. view
