• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Just a minute, Sen. Cherarkey. Sen. Sifuna, what is your point of order? view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not being diversionary. We should avoid double standards. view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: I am not injuring them. The Secretary General of ODM should avoid double standards. When ODM counties perform well, he says these are best ODM counties. However, when stealing or plundering of resources like in Migori is happening, the Secretary General denies. How can he run away from his own child? As a party, you also have a role to bring order and discipline, because I do not believe ODM is a party that allows corruption to thrive in their own counties that they run. In conclusion, I agree that the CPAC and County Public Investments and Special Funds (CPIC) ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: I support. view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is an honour to second this Motion. Yesterday, we debated a Motion on the issue of maize. Today, we are debating West Kano and the role of EACC in this matter. I want to agree largely with the report. Our farmers sacrifice a lot. They sometimes come together through cooperative movements. Sometimes, they save money. Unfortunately, a few individuals, especially our directors, take advantage of the funds meant to bring cooperative movements. I know you are a member of a cooperative in Mount Kenya, which I will use for debate purposes. I do ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: made a single arrest. It is unfortunate that EACC bangled the investigations in West Kano because of corruption. Instead of fighting corruption, they are perpetuating it. Therefore, I agree that the DCI must seize the matter, do the needful, investigate, and charge people, including directors or officials who participated in the misappropriation of funds. Although I have heard the Committee has recommended a forensic audit, of course, with a view to a possible investigation of perpetrators, a forensic audit must be done to ensure that anybody who is found culpable and participated in this heist is prosecuted. If you watch ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: go and run for an elective office, which is bad manners that we are practising in this country, and it must stop. The third point is that the National Irrigation Authority is a failure. We must collapse some of these agencies.Yesterday, we discussed about the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). I know there is a biting drought in Makueni, Kitui, Machakos, Kajiado and northern parts of Kenya, which include Mandera, Wajir, all the way to Turkana. Some of the agencies have money, but you cannot understand what they do. You recall the Solai Dam Tragedy. It happened because agencies like ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I call upon the CBK, which is the regulator, to enforce these regulations. We have the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, where they have defined the meaning of proceeds of crime. The issue of farm machineries and accessories must be looked into. We need to know the status of the machinery at West Kano Irrigation Scheme. Just like the commercial banks, the NIB must be sanctioned and senior officials surcharged so that we ensure that our farmers do not continue to suffer. Owing to the failure by the EACC, I encourage the CAJ, also known ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: So, you are proposing that we have court martial? If the EACC has bungled investigations, we can become radical and allow the army to take over through court martial. If the watchman is the one allowing stealing, who will ensure that the watchman is being watched? Just as the Member said, if the EACC has bungled investigations, the institution that should take over is the military through court martial so that the money can be returned. I know Sen. Maanzo knows this because he is a Senior Counsel. We must trace the money that was stolen. As we surcharged them, ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: I urge Members to support this report. I do not know whether Sen. Maanzo is a Member of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. They should invite the EACC to appear before the Senate. They should stop arresting traffic police officers who take Kshs50 or 200. They should tell us where individuals who are stealing the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), those who used to steal from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and those who did state capture are and why they are enjoying the proceeds of corruption. We are making noise here in the Senate, ... view
