• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the County Government Additional Allocation (National Assembly Bill No.23 of 2023). I hope that in future, the same way we process the National Assembly Bills with supersonic speed, our sister House shall do the same so that we do not have differences in processing Bills. I thank the Committee for coming to look at the Bill. These are the issues we have been raising. Many people have been asking what the role of devolution is. This is a great milestone because in the past, we had not ring-fenced most of the funds ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Looking at what we have allocated through additional funds in the next financial year 2023/2024; in the First Schedule, counties in 2023/2024 shall get a total of Kshs15.816 billion. That is a lot of money that shall go to counties. This is very important. I want to assure the great people of Nandi that I am taking a whopping additional Kshs503,429,010, and will not entertain any pilferage of this money at whatever costs. When I say Nandi County is the headquarters of corruption, many people doubt it. I am happy that investigative agencies move with gusto to ensure financial impropriety ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: In Nandi County, June 2023, there was a total of Kshs175 million that went into recurrent expenditure. This was the disbursement from the Controller of Budget (COB), and more than Kshs310 million was given to development. El Nino is beginning across the country, and there is no feeder road that is passable in Nandi today. The feeder roads are managed by the county. We produce maize and it must be transported to Nairobi City County to ensure the cost of living comes down. The Presidents has done well by giving us fertilizer and incentives as farmers. The problem is that ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: because every time you attend a function on weekends and tell people the amount you have brought, they look at you as if you are an angel; like you are the new stranger in Jerusalem because they do not feel the money. It is very unfortunate. As a Senator, I wish that one day when I go home for the weekend and say that I brought money for the feeder roads, people will clap and say that the road I am using was constructed using the money I appropriated in Nairobi. My wish is that one day when someone walks ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: – the former governor, Chairperson of Committee on Finance and Budget and United Democratic Movement (UDM) Party Leader – there is a song that states, “here comes the conqueror and lion.” I do not know whether in his time as Governor, Sen. Ali Roba, benefited from the World Bank support through Kenya Settlement Infrastructural Programme. World Bank should be keen. Kapsabet Town, the headquarters of Nandi County, got some amount in the last financial year that was meant for road network improvement. However, there are still roads in Kapsabet Town that are impassable. We were given money by the World ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: I am happy that Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, the Vice Chairperson of the Committee, and Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale are here. These are eminent individuals who have ensured that the Bill is processed smoothly. I urge the Chairperson of the Committee to follow through the amendments proposed. Do not be blackmailed or cowed by the National Assembly. I handled the National Assembly well in the last session. Hon. Duale, the current Cabinet Secretary for Defence was the Majority Leader and he tried to intimidate some of us. We told him that the price of intimidation, fear and blackmail had fallen. We have ... view
• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education concerning the plight of Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) teachers in Nandi County. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) state why the County Government of Nandi has not implemented the schemes of service for ECDE teachers in the county; (2) explain why the County Government of Nandi is using different and unapproved payment structures in paying ECDE teachers employed on permanent and pensionable terms a special salary, thus making their payslips invariable; (3) give reasons why the County ... view

• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the sustainability of Kenya Airways. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) state measures put in place to address the shortage of aircraft experienced by Kenya Airways (KQ) disclosing details of current, planned leases of aircraft, to also include their terms of operation, the commercial viability of leasing such aircraft by KQ; (2) disclose the details of the signed strategic partnership framework between KQ and South Africa Airways, which is under receivership, explaining the potential impact ... view
• 21 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion on the nomination of Mr. Andrew Musangi Mukite. I want to thank the President because we have been having an issue where many people have been telling the President that the Kenya Kwanza Government does not have the face of Kenya. I am happy today because if you look at the person who has been nominated to the Chairperson of the CBK Board, he is a Kenyan. We need to note that the Government is doing its best, especially the President, in ensuring that there is the face ... view
