• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would have expected Sen. Osotsi to thank all of us, but I think he was trying to summarise everything. Mine is a straightforward amendment where we are trying to amend the Public Service (Values and Principles) Act, (No. 1 of 2015). Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Public Service Commission (PSC) and counties also have been provided under Article 232 of the Constitution on values and principles of the public service. We are trying to give effect to this amendment to the Public Service Values and Principles Act of 2015. One ... view

• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As you have already indicated on my behalf and on behalf of this House, I want to extend a warm welcome to the group of Nandi Students Association, who were on an academic excursion and learning in parliamentary processes. I ask them to feel welcome and they should be lucky that they have found their Senator in action. It is rare. It is just a coincidence that they have found me on my feet. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we welcome them, they should feel free to learn. I also hope they will visit ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.46 of 2022) be read a Second Time. I apologise for that oversight. It is Sen. Osotsi who distracted me. What I was saying is that we are just giving effect to Article 232 on values. The public sector, both at national and in the counties, gobble billions of shillings because of salaries and many other expenses. This is because of huge salaries, stipends and allowances paid to public servants both at the national and county level. Article 10 of ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Under Article 232, we should ensure that diverse communities in Kenya are reflected. That is important. The process of policy making is critical. Public participation is now an integral part. The Affordable Housing Bill, which was passed by the National Assembly yesterday, was read here today for the First Time. The reason it was brought back by the court is because of the aspect of public participation. Another issue is economic use or value for money. Many people think that when auditors talk of “value for money”, they just put those words for the sake of it. It means that ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: not count our children. He is my neighbour and I wish him well as he endeavours to become a governor. The upshot of what I am saying is that the public service must be reflective. Kenyans normally say so and so has not been employed because they do not come from a certain region. The Constitution is clear on values and principles of public service that men, women, PwDs and ethnic groups must be reflective in any organisation. I am saying that knowing that--- A number of us know that Sen. Ogola served as a County Executive Committee Member (CECM) ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I expected both Minority and Majority Whips to guide the Senator for Migori. I should not be interrupted while moving a Bill because it is sacrosanct. view
