• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Furthermore, if you ask somebody about it, they say that the military is more effective. They know you cannot summon a General to the Senate because they have court martials. They are stealing through the military and they must be called out as such. The moment the audit report of NMS will be tabled, even the devil will cry and mourn because of the theft and plunder of resources meant for Nairobi City County. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Senate, we must stand in defense of devolution as one of our roles under Article 96 of the Constitution. At this point, let me call out EACC because they are sleeping on the job. During the reign of the Jubilee Party, I was once the Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Humans Rights. I summoned the multi-agency that was formed to fight corruption. It was chaired by the current Attorney General, Mr. Paul Kihara Kariuki; the former Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI), Mr. George Kinoti; and the current Director of Public Prosecutions ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: The only report they tabled before my Committee was where they had succeeded in prosecuting a case where somebody was charged a fine of Kshs20,000 over a small bribe. At that time, the DPP had promised to go whaling for the big whales and fight corruption. However, up to date, you can hear the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EACC calling the media saying that he is going to arrest some governors. However, you never hear anything after that. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: We must be honest that no one has acted upon the recommendations that CPAIC has made. We have recommendations. The EACC Liaison officer sits in CPAIC, but no one has implemented the recommendations. Therefore, Kenyans should not accuse the Senate of being complacent in fighting corruption. At this point, it is good that I remember Sen. Gataya, famously known as Mo Fire. I did not know it was an official name, but I have seen it today. Although he has stepped out at the moment, but I can see that there is fire in Meru County. Members of County Assembly ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the only reach we have is to recommend. That is why there are many cases, including the former Governor for Kakamega County. At that time, he went to court because he did not want to appear before the CPAIC. Why did we have to go the Supreme Court to restate the obvious, by saying that the Senate can oversight based on shareable revenue and own source revenue? view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is because they want to hide and run away. However, we are saying: “Murife do not run away.” They must be held accountable and I appeal to Kenyans. view
• 19 Oct 2022 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
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: I remember when Sen. Olekina and I appeared in a show last week and Kenyans were asking why governors were stealing and why counties were not performing. One of the critical tools of accountability that we have been given in the Senate is the CPAIC. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: I have seen the name of the famous public watchman, Sen. Okiya Omtatah, in this Committee. He has done much more oversight in this country than any person living among the 50 million people. I would want to see the fire – not literary – during the CPAIC sittings on the submissions by county governments. I do not want to call it grilling or summons, but I think there is a confusion. However, I want to see what he can do given that he has done good oversight over the years. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: My repute and reputation precedes myself on the performance in that Committee. I do not know why my lecturer, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda and neighbour from Kisumu County, is shaking his head. He taught me well and should be happy that I am doing good. view
