• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: I want to inform my good neighbour, Omwami the bullfighter, that as we talk, Nandi County Assembly is under siege. The people of Nandi are moving the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) to commence impeachment proceedings against the inept governor, hon. Sang and remove him from office. I assure you that there has also been some exchange of blows by MCAs. We must ensure devolution works by fire. I confirm that this House should be ready for an impeachment Motion against the Governor of Nandi County, Gov. Sang, in the next few weeks. From the intelligence I have--- view
• 24 Sep 2024 in Senate: I want to confirm to him that it is true there is unrest in Nandi County because people are tired of bad governance and corruption that is being perpetuated by the Governor of Nandi County, hon. Sang. I thank you. view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I always shudder in fear, especially when the police allegedly abduct individuals. I do not find any reason the police should blur their numbers or wear unmarked uniforms or do not have registration numbers. I said it yesterday that I have been a victim on several occasions, especially on ‘ KamataKamata’ Fridays. I remember one instance where I was sleeping alone when I was arrested. It is by God’s grace that--- They tracked me from Kibos in Kisumu County all the way to my palatial home in Mosoriot in Nandi County. I was arrested ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: That is why we need to be very careful. As the former chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Right, we did an investigation on forced disappearance and unregulated abductions. I challenge the police that if they are going to arrest Sen. Sifuna, why not use official numbers, wear their uniforms and identify themselves, so that they are known? As we speak, the people of Dela Ward cannot explain where hon. Hussein Ahmed Yussuf, the Member of the County Assembly (MCA) of Dela Ward in Wajir County is. The family went to court yesterday and demanded ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, from the outset, this Bill is crucial in terms of many issues. You are aware that disaster management is--- Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know why the amber light is on. I need your guidance. view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that guidance. When you look at the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, one of the functions of the national Government is disaster management. It is co-shared between national Government and county governments. When we have a national legislation, it will harmonise functions in terms of disaster management in the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: One of the Funds that are normally misused are those for disaster response and management in the counties and even at the national level. For example, in Nandi County, in the Financial Year 2023/2024, according to the Report of the Auditor-General, the approved budget for disaster response and management was Kshs100 million. The exchequer release that was made to the County Revenue Fund (CRF) before moving to the next financial year was Kshs50 million. However, when the auditors went to ask for financial statements to ascertain how Kshs50 million was spent, they could not trace how that money was used ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: I am disappointed because the disaster we have in Nandi County is running down both disaster response and management. The Governor hired three of his siblings. One of them is the Assistant Director of Education. Another one, who was his chief campaign soloists, is the Chief Officer (CO) for Education. We also have online bloggers. Most of those people have never been to their duty stations. These are issues that continue to bedevil us especially in Nandi County and I condemn them with the strongest terms possible. In the next one month, the County Executive of Nandi County should appear ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: unfortunate that we lost those lives in May, 2018 when that unfortunate disaster happened in Nakuru County. These are challenges that we should learn from. I am happy there is a legal framework in terms of disaster management going into the future. Additionally, even at that time, we lost more than 45 Kenyans. Schools and homes were destroyed. As a Committee that followed up on the implementation, the people of Solai Dam Tragedy up to today have nightmares. When they hear even a tyre burst, they always get scared. Therefore, as we pay them off, we should ensure we have ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: million was lost during the fiasco of COVID-19 scandal and the whole world went on lockdown. On the issue of COVID-19 funds, when the COVID-19 happened, many counties were able to give supplementary budget together for what was happening across the country. Subsequently, by the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG), we found out that most of the counties misappropriated funds. That is when we had the new birth of COVID- 19 billionaires in town. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you see new money in town, it is the birth of COVID-19 billionaires. There are people who when other Kenyans were dying, ... view
