• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: I am happy the Commissioner walking past the House Floor is a Member of the Parliamentary SACCO. The Parliamentary Service Commission should not allow Members to take-- or not allow loans to be deducted from their payroll to enjoy the privilege of Parliamentary SACCO. What I saw in Business Daily is misleading. They should get their facts right. As a society, we assist Members. This is a Parliamentary SACCO. Within two hours, you can have your cash in your bank account. I have not come across any other. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know you come from a farming community. Where ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: members. Sen. Wakili Sigei looks wealthier, so I do not know whether he needs a SACCO since a SACCO always comes in handy. You and I know that SACCOs have always been our last resort, especially when you are facing financial problems. Therefore, SACCOs are very critical. I can give the House brief statistics as I second and celebrate Sen. Mariam Omar's good work. I hope to see her elected from the region she comes from next time. She is a committed Member. I am the Vice Chairperson of the Senate County Public Accounts Committee. She is one of my ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker, on the name of the Cabinet Secretary. view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: My apologies. I am well informed. You know, the reason I might not know him is because he has never represented me in my legal troubles. If I had legal troubles mentioning Sen. Wakili Sigei and Sen. Okongo Omogeni, then it would be a big deal. However, I am happy to be informed that the new Cabinet Secretary of Education is Julius Migosi Ogamba, a lawyer. I was disappointed by his statement yesterday at the University of Nairobi. I was a bit jittery and uncomfortable over the statement he made yesterday. I am informed he is also a classmate of ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Secondary Schools (JSS) need to apply afresh to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for employment. That was a divisive statement. When the Appropriation Bill was passed in the National Assembly, we agreed that Kshs18 billion to Kshs19 billion should be allocated to confirm - not to apply - JSS interns to transition from contract to Permanent and Pensionable. So, I hope the Cabinet Secretary can clarify, because I am not having peace. My colleagues Senators are not having peace. They are asking us as JSS, they want to transit to PnP. I hope since they come from the same community ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: That is why I expected, by now, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to tell us who has been eating the money for cooperative societies. They should be arrested and prosecuted. While I appreciate it, we have seen Mumias Sugar Company and other, cooperative societies, outgrowers of sugar cane. Whenever there is a bailout of millions of shillings, where does this money come from? It is you and me who pay taxes to bailout cooperative societies, yet the directors who ‘ate’ the money have stashed their money in the Cayman Islands and in Switzerland, in some tax havens that we ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: I am happy that the primary society has been simplified, because I will make four comments. The primary society has been simplified for registration for any person, especially even for wakulima who understand. The average age of a farmer is 50 years. view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: , I was right, I had seen Senator Okiya Omtatah. I thought he is in court challenging the appointment of Inspector General (IG) of Police, Douglas Kanja. If you look at Clause 7 on compliance, this is just a matter of procedure to clean up the Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of certificate of registration or provision, I think that is very critical in issuance of those to primary societies. In fact, I am happy that the timeline that has been given to the director of co-operative societies, to ensure a limit in terms of issuance to the ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, kindly give me 30 more seconds to Second this Bill properly. The biggest threat to cooperative societies--- view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you. Who is saying no? The biggest threat to cooperative societies is corruption and mismanagement by the people who manage them. With those very many remarks, while I congratulate Sen. Mariam Omar for providing this very prolific, concise and precise Bill towards cleanup and enhancement of co-operative societies, it is my honour, pleasure, single duty, and privilege to, therefore, second the Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.53 of 2023). I thank you. view
