• 19 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Statement could not go without me saying something. As the Vice Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), I thought it is important to support the Statement by Sen. Olekina. I think this is where the meat is. I want to challenge us to go beyond the counties that have been mentioned. On the issue of supplementary budgets and approvals, there have been instances where the CoB approves some items that cannot be traced. When you look at payment vouchers and requisitions from the counties, they are like love letters by county governors. They just ... view
• 19 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I thank Sen. Faki for ably moving the Motion although he was reading contrary to our Standing Orders. I do not want to believe he was reading but cross-referencing while moving. Article 211 of the Constitution is on borrowing by national Government. The Constitution 2010 took more than 20 years to be drafted. One of the salient features is prudent financial management, especially on public finance. That is the reason the drafters and Kenyans approved this Constitution by over 60 per cent. Article 211 talks about how the national Government can borrow; ... view

• 19 Mar 2024 in Senate: Unfortunately, Sen. Sifuna has walked out. The mess we are trying to work on was built over the years after Independence. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto you steered as one of its midwives highlights the issue of fiscal discipline. It is good to borrow, but we must be disciplined, prudent, account for every shilling, dollar, or whatever currency it is, that we borrow to finance projects. We are aware that the money being borrowed both locally and externally is meant for development of this country. I thank the President for making history today. The signing of the Affordable ... view

• 19 Mar 2024 in Senate: The drafters of Article 211 of the Constitution knew that the Government would borrow to sustain its operations and development. However, we must be disciplined. Corruption is the biggest soft underbelly in this country that is choking both national and county governments. This country would be far if we fought corruption and accounted for every shilling we borrowed. The country has risen like a phoenix. I am happy that the committee observed in their report that the currencies movement has affected the external public debt. A few months ago, the shilling was “beaten” like a burukenge . view

• 19 Mar 2024 in Senate: My apologies, Madam Temporary Speaker. The Kenya shilling was battered at around Kshs150 against the dollar. As I speak today, it is Kshs133 against the US Dollar. Sen. Eddy and committee Members have observed in their report that we have a challenge in terms of movement of the currency and it is very important. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am happy with the stakeholders on the maturity of Eurobond and the movement of currency that Sen. Eddy and the rest have observed. It is very important that they have observed that. This report is wonderful. Just as my colleague Senator who ... view
