• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: As a friend of the Committee, I do not have powers to sign the report or vote on the report because I am not a Member of the Committee. So, where do I get my recourse? I get my recourse on the Floor of the House among other colleagues. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. I want to thank the Committee for the good job they have done which is in line with the provisions of Chapter 12 of the Constitution where this Motion has originated from. I also want to thank the new Senator from Bungoma. I did not know that the people from Bungoma County speak fluent and good Kiswahili. In future you should be challenged to also preside over the proceedings of this House in Kiswahili. We have translated our Standing Orders to Kiswahili and I know our secretariat have been efficient in terms ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: on matters roads from one point to another in Kiharu, Maragwa or Mugoiri? When you ask them about budget performance and control, they are not able to absorb Kshs2 billion especially on development budget because of violation of Article 219 where the National Treasury is not keen on following the provision of the Constitution. Therefore, as we pass this Motion, the National Treasury and other Government agencies must work to ensure that the money is dispersed as appropriated. I think also county assemblies should work very hard because the law provides they should pass those budget estimates and others within ... view

• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: I once investigated this medical equipment with the former Chairperson of Health, the former Senator for Trans Nzoia. We found it to be an automatic rip-off. Counties then were leasing syringes. Can a syringe be leased? They were leasing gloves and bedsheets. This was an outright rip-off. Senator Ali Roba as a former governor knows that. I know he is now comfortable if I tell him about this. The last time I tried saying this, I was given a thorough engagement in the House. He knows that this is an outright rip-off. I expected him as the current Chair to ... view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want governors to use the same energy to account for money the way they are demanding for more. It is paining because the work of oversight is that of a mortician. We are doing post-mortem on a dead body. We are looking after the facts. For example, when looking at the audit queries of Kakamega County, we question how much was consumed by Bukhungu Stadium, who the contractor was and the scope of works. We are just morticians operating somebody already dead. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: Therefore, governors have no option. I am not afraid to say that in accountability issues, the soft under belly is the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). This body is part and parcel of allegations of corruption within governors. When serious whistle blowers report these issues to EACC under the Witness Protection Act, the rogue EACC officers see the governor, show him the evidence and they also “eat”. I am not talking about the whistle blowers that we are seeing in the Azimio Coalition rallies. You can see the Minority Side has run away because they are using fake whistle blowers. view
• 21 Feb 2023 in Senate: That is why when you go to mashinani, wananchi will tell you the issue has been reported to EACC, but no action has been taken. The EACC only goes for omena and arrests clerks instead of going for mbuta or the big fish. That is where the challenge of accountability lies. I know you will ask why our Committee tables very nice reports with serious recommendations, having been facilitated by the secretariat. view
