• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the rules of debate depend on how the debater wants to proceed as long as they are relevant. I was building my case. I wish my colleagues who just joined this House would learn very fast. I was comparing that before we had the CPAIC and now we have divided it to the CPICSF and CPAC. I have served in the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. We used to talk of the non-remittance of funds through Local Authority Provident Fund (LAPFUND) and Local Authorities Pension Trust (LAPTRUST). The Chairperson of CPICSF is here. ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Finally, I agree that counties must ensure they are transparent on how they spend these funds. Today, I was with the Garissa County Women Representative, Hon. Amina, and she was telling me a story--- view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me 30 seconds. She said that women in Garissa County are being sexually exploited in county hospital facilities; which is very unfortunate. With those very many remarks, I beg to support this Motion and hope the Chair will note the changes. view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Twenty-five minutes? view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I remember I was moving but, unfortunately, some Members said that I should be moving when the whole House is here. I think this is a straightforward amendment and I would not want to belabour the point. It is about the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 46 of 2022). Mr. Speaker, Sir, this amendment intends to capture Article 10 on national values and principles of good governance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, under Article 232, the values and principles of Public Service have been provided by our ... view
• 29 Feb 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 Services,Senate. view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can say without fear of contradiction that one of the soft underbellies in the growth of our economy has always been the high wage bill. What is choking counties such as Meru County, is the high wage bill. For example, in Nandi County, out of Kshs7.5 billion in the last financial year 2020/2023, a huge junk of the money went to the wage bill. If we are not careful, we are going to turn our counties into employment bureaus. There has been a soft underbelly in this country where there has been a feeling that ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Let me pick one example of a university that has stayed long. I am trying to get an example of a university that is within Nairobi County, so that Members can understand where I am coming from. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Maseno University has 1,771 workers and you know where Maseno is. Out of this, 751 workers are local community workers and that is 64 per cent. So that I appear fair, let us look at the Maasai Mara University. It has 566 workers, 206 come from the local community and that is 36 per cent. Therefore, you can see ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: Other governors have hired goons to maim and undermine others. For instance, we have seen the allegations of the Sniper, the blogger from Meru County, who was maimed and killed. If you look keenly, the people who have been accused and are in court are people who work with county governments. You never know whether these county governments are becoming criminal enterprises. They are busy shouting down Senators and other leaders. You have seen several counties where when local leaders want to question county governments, they are being shouted down. That must stop. They are violating the public service values. ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: All of us are public servants. We must carry out our duty with diligence, honesty and transparency. That is why all of us queue to speak. We follow a certain order because it has been provided for. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, governors must know that they are workers. They are people’s servants. They are not rulers. You are the one who mentioned yesterday that governors are not supposed to be rulers, but leaders. I was having a discussion with the Garissa Women Representative, Hon. Amina Siyad, today. What is happening in Garissa County, presided over by Hon. Nadhif Jama, is ... view
