• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: From the outset, I would like to say that I am the midwife of the Office of the County Attorney Act of 2020. I remember Ms. Kavata here was my committee clerk then when I used to chair the powerful Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Luckily, she is seated here. view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: According to my estimation, we did a good job because many counties were outsourcing legal services as a way of siphoning public money. I also thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because I know you were part of the instrumental people who assisted us while in the National Assembly in passing this when you served in the “lower House”. view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, one of your colleagues dismissed this House stating that it is Nyumba ya Wazee . It is very unfortunate because it was stated by the Minority Leader on the Floor of the House. I do not know why the Speaker of the National Assembly would allow the Senate to be discussed in bad faith, especially when the report on bicameral Houses of Parliament was being debated yesterday. Under Article 93 of the Constitution, all of us are Members of Parliament (MPs). I do not know why Members of the National Assembly feel threatened with the ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: should stop. I want to advise the National Assembly Minority Leader that there are much more important things to do for Kenyans than fighting the Senate or demanding that the Senate be scrapped off. We are not complaining. He stated that there is no work in the Senate, but we have a lot of work. Defending and protecting interests of the counties is not easy. It is a lot of work. Therefore, they should stop underestimating us and serve Kenyans. The National Assembly oversights the national Government. They should do their job. We have so many projects by the national ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: In the last audit that came here, they paid Kshs34 million as legal fees, but no one knows the law firms or courts cases that Nandi County Government had. That is a way of siphoning money by Governor Sang. Where does the Kshs34 million go? This is the report of the Auditor-General. There are no law firms and number of cases given to justify the payment of Kshs34 million by the Nandi County Government to these law firms. Mr. Deputy Speaker when you go to Murang’a County, where our former Chief Whip, Sen. Governor (Dr.) Irungu Kang’ata presides, they have ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Yesterday, the whole City was flooded. Within two hours, the poor development record of Governor Sakaja had been exposed. Madam Temporary Speaker, you do not go away from your house beyond 6.00 p.m., but for some of us who operate at night, we had problems accessing our homes. Most of the roads were flooded due to a poor drainage system; poor development, but the 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
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Governor of Nairobi wants to pay Kshs1.3 billion in legal fees. What are the priorities in this City? We even have the Auditor-General raising questions on what we call “ Dishi na view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: ,” by asking who is on the menu. We must be very careful in this country. I wish Sen. Sifuna was in the House. He was arguing that Kshs1.3 billion should not be paid to Donald Kipkorir law firm for defending on two matters, I think against the land involving the military and all these other matters. I would not be surprised if Nairobi City County pays Kshs1.3 billion, but they cannot fix the poor drainage system, especially during this rainy season under the poor development record of Governor Sakaja. Let me go quickly to the recommendations. On capacity building, ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: audit and regular audits that are being done. Therefore, recommendation number five falls flat on its face. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a recommendation that says the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC)--- Our Advocates Remuneration Order sets our engagement on how we charge our clients, but the committee is recommending that SRC should guide. The SRC have failed the Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). When we invited SRC to be here, they failed to give us a way out on how to handle welfare and issues of MCAs. How can you invite SRC when the Advocates Remuneration Order has already ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: ,” you will see how corruption is being described in that book. It shows you that corruption has a web. Governors have realised that the only way is to look for a law firm in town, sit and agree using the Advocates Remuneration Order, come then pay that law firm. Madam Temporary Speaker, we did not fight for resources to go to mashinani for governors to go and hire law firms. Since my time is spent, I request to oppose this Motion with those very many remarks. I thank you for the indulgence. view
