• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, furthermore, I call upon the Ministry of Youth Affairs Sports and the Arts, Athletics Kenya (AK) and the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) in collaboration with the Beijing’s Sports Competition, an international sports exchange centre, to provide a comprehensive update on the investigations concerning an incident during the Beijing Half Marathon. This incident involved our athletes, ushering a Chinese marathoner to win a race. People were making comments that maybe Kenyans had started to pay loans by allowing them to win. This among other issues such as doping, fixing athletics and sports have tarnished our nation’s ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. It is good to see you safe and sound. Yesterday, I saw what was happening in Murang’a County and I was worried about you. I hope the office will provide the necessary and add more security to you. However, I am happy it was your home in Kigumo. Many people saw the fracas more than what you contributed for those women, which is more than Kshs5 million. We congratulate you for organizing that function. I just want to appeal to you to bring peace to Murang’a County. Murang’a is one of our ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: harmonization in terms of schemes of service, and you know, ECDE teachers play a unique role. These are the people when your child just starts to walk, they do not only teach our children learning, but they also teach them manners. They also assist them in using toilet facilities, how to be clean and how to tuck in. You can imagine one county is paying Kshs10,000, another is paying Kshs20,000. We must have a harmonized ECDE scheme of service, so that as a country, we can be proud of our ECDE teachers. I agree with the Standing Committee on Education, ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: I can facilitate and organize for him to do a press conference after this at the Media Centre and tell the nation that health is devolved, and doctors must be told. view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: No, Madam Temporary Speaker. He will misinform and mislead me in equal measure. I saw the Minority Leader in the National Assembly blaming the President and the national Government, yet the coalition members are Senators here. They should be informing the likes of Hon. Opiyo Wandai and the rest of the brigade on the Minority side in the National Assembly that health is devolved. Where is the voice of governors? Why is it that when we are doing division of revenue for health, governors are very comfortable? They complain and shout the loudest, but when it comes to the strike ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: taken the initiative and even addressed us, as the Senate, that this is a devolved function. I did my pupillage and with a lot of respect to my pupil master, Madam Serah Karuga, I was never paid even a penny. Intern doctors who are not yet qualified doctors, are paid Kshs70,000, yet a senior lawyer in this country and the Secretary-General (SG) view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: of the ruling party, are never paid as a pupil. There is a saying that, “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than the others.” So, if we have to pay intern doctors Kshs70,000 or Kshs200,000, we must also pay other professionals; engineers, doctors, even clergy, who are still training, so that we are fair in this country. In conclusion, the issue of the doctors is a devolved function. What the President is doing is offering a service; just being a gentleman. However, the people should address the issue of doctors in the Council of Governors (CoG). Why ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, from the onset, I support the National Rating Bill (National Assembly Bills No.55 of 2022). I know there is a lot of growth in the country, especially in terms of development, acquisition and valuation of properties, even in waivers, and many others. In most cases, there is always the aspect where we do a valuation roll. As the Vice-Chairperson of the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), we normally request for the valuation roll because it forms the basis own source revenue; valuation, assets and liabilities register. view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: We normally see county governments using a lot of money to do all manner of things, such as putting up banners and advertising on media saying they are waiving land rates, land fees and many other charges. However, it is important to have discipline and order in the legal framework. Last week, I was meeting my sugarcane farmers and, as we all know, there is a Sugar Bill that is under consideration at the moment. There must be order in every sector. You cannot just wake up one day and say you want to do waivers, yet you intend to ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: For example, in northern Nandi, they wanted to be part of Hon. Oparanya's recommendation on sugar, to be part of Kakamega, the northern Nandi, and part of of Bungoma and Trans-Nzoia. On the southern part of Nandi, they want to be part of the central region of Nandi, Kericho, and Kisumu. Interestingly, we are discussing how to generate own source revenue, not only in rating. However, we are 18 kilometres to the next factory in South Nandi and another factory in Kakamega County. For example, we have Butali Sugar Factory or Kabras Sugar Factory. On the other side, it is ... view
