• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Sorry, lady Senators. view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Coincidentally, they are smiling around the Senate Majority Leader. I do not know if it is because Easter Holiday is near. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will just make four points. When you look at leadership and integrity, it talks about conflict of interest. What we are doing is just to enrich it. This is because, the architect and design of the Constitution is just to give us the structure. As a Parliament, we pass legislation to now enrich the Constitution. The fight against corruption can only be won if we have the right legislative interventions and policies in place. ... view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: country, we must take these issues seriously. Every wealth, even if you buy a watch, a car or property, no matter the worth, as a public official, you must tell us. In this country, we are aware of people who use their offices to enrich themselves. We cannot gerrymander in the fight against corruption. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has been given a function, but I have little faith in it. I have sat in the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC). Sen. Ledama and a number of colleagues have sat there as well. We have made many recommendations for ... view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: . Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are aware of even the Controller of Budget (CoB). I would like them to come clean. When a county makes a requisition, the office of the CoB asks them what they want to do and they give a schedule. They then release monies to the counties after paying a certain percentage. We have allegations that some CoB staff own houses in Karen, Runda and Kileleshwa, even in Dubai where they have private summer homes. This is because they are colluding with county governments to release money that is made under requisition. Some of the ... view

• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: come home to roost when EACC will tell us what they are doing in Machakos, Kitui, Makueni and Nandi in the fight against corruption. Last time I said that Nandi is the headquarters of corruption. There is a lot of plundering happening, but EACC has done nothing. We have reported on a number of occasions, but what the EACC does is to smile at the camera with the governors and officials and then they say, the matter is under investigation. I also challenge the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, that we ... view
• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said ‘as if’ they are receiving phone calls. I am guided by the HANSARD if it is contrary because I said ‘as if they are receiving’. ‘As if’ is maybe. I did not say ‘shall’. That is what I meant. I thank my sister. She is doing a good job and maybe, she wants something in Samburu County in future. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of gifts and other benefits, this law on economic crimes was there in 2003. You passed it. At least you have been around these view

• 28 Mar 2024 in Senate: corridors and you know this law, where you are given a gift, even when we welcome you as a Speaker. When you come to my home and I give you a gift as a friend, I do not know whether you should declare because I can give you a cow. That is the highest respect my community can give. I do not know whether you will donate the cow to the Senate or what happens because you are a public official. Those are some of the issues that JLAC, through Sen. Sigei, will give us headway on as we progress. ... view
