• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have not spoken about commenting on--- I just read my Statements. I wanted to comment on the performance in athletics. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to support Sen. Crystal Asige on the issue of performance in athletics. view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I only have two comments to make about the performance of athletics. It is not very good; it is disappointing. You know how passionate I have been about athletics. You are aware that Nandi County is one of the greatest source of champions. We pride ourselves on one of the most extraordinary performers like Conseslus Kipruto, Ezekiel Kemboi and Janet Jepkosgei. You know the beauty that we used to feel in those days. The disappointment coming from Paris is not very good for the country. I agree with the Senator who said that we need ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have been preparing to reply under the directions of my able Chair. In the spirit of broad-based engagement, we are working closely now that our party leaders are also working closely. I beg to reply by saying a few things. I congratulate my Chairman for ably moving the Motion and giving us direction. It is good the Senate Majority Leader is here. He had requested the leadership of both the Minority and Majority to fast-track the consideration of financial statements for both county assemblies and county executives in order to be up-to-date. Sometimes it ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Another issue we noticed is imprest management. I call upon the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC)--- We have seen the abuse of imprest. We have travelled and whenever we arrive back to the country, we surrender our passport documents and the necessary documentation to ensure we surrender our imprest for payment. This issue continues to be a challenge in county assemblies. I call the county clerks and county assembly’s speakers and County Assembly Public Service Boards (CAPSB), to ensure they put in place necessary mechanism. We have made many recommendations to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Yes, the Senate Majority Leader has a lot of information. view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you for that useful information. I hope the House will fast-track it. Counties have been giving that money in the past. I am happy that the Senate Majority Leader has proposed legislative intervention. As Members of CPAC and Senators, we shall support it. I am happy that my Chairman, Sen. M. Kajwang’, is in the House. I did not see him accompanying Hon. John Mbadi to the National Treasury, but I view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: know he is a fellow ‘Subanese.’ I hope after this, he will pay homage to the National Treasury Building and give his prayers and blessings. I advise and encourage us to fast-track this Bill through the Senate Majority Leader, so that we cure this illegal unlawful and constitutional expense. The fifth point that I wanted to make is on the wage bill. I agree Members raised an issue. The minimum wage bill should be 35 per cent of the budget. We need to ensure we follow the law. By the way, there is challenges in the wage bill. I wish ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: I want to thank President Ruto because when he visited Nandi in 2018, he gave Kshs50 million. The Governor and the County Government were to fund more for the Chepterwai Sub-County. That has never happened. That money was given by President Ruto when he was the Deputy President. Madam Temporary Speaker, even in the Kapsengere Dispensary, the President gave us Kshs20 milllion, which has been used so far and the county has given nothing. When you go to Kobujoi Sub-County Hospital, it is stalled and the President gave us Kshs50 million. The County Government has never given this project any ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was disappointed, but I would like to remind hon. Mbadi, the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury, to be aware of Article 219 – timely disbursements to counties. We even censured the former Cabinet Secretary, Ukur Yattani, for not disbursing money. The more you delay disbursing funds under Article 219, you are firstly violating the Constitution and statutory deductions like for the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) attract penalties. I call upon the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to be disbursing monies to counties timeously. ... view
• 7 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment on the fire incident at Toi Market. My heart goes out to at least four families who lost their loved ones and many Kenyans who are hustling to make a living. For those of us who are not opulent and flamboyant, we get most of our clothes from Toi Market. The Senate Majority Leader has previously been accused of being opulent and buying a pair of expensive shoes. So, he might not be aware of what is sold at Toi Market. view
