• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think somebody is sabotaging it. This is because it involves a lot of money. As I was saying, Kenyans stand to lose around Kshs700 million. This is because between China Jiangxi and China Gezhouba, China Jiangxi was the highest bidder with Kshs19.2 billion. China Gezhouba’s bid was Kshs9.2 billion. That matter was taken for re-evaluation by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: I thought you must give value for money when awarding tenders. Had we awarded the company whose bid was Kshs9.2 billion, we would have saved Kenya Kshs700 million. Kenyans are likely to lose over Kshs700 million because of ignorance, negligence or lack of due diligence by the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation. I heard the PS say we were in a hurry to implement that project, but at the end of the day, we should look at the value that the taxpayer will get. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the 2,000 households that were displaced are yet to be compensated by NLC. I agree with Sen. Cheruiyot that this matter needs to be relooked at. In my opinion, since this matter has gone through full circle from evaluation to PPRA, I think the best is to cancel the tender all together and ensure we run it in an open and transparent manner. We do not want Kenyans to lose over Kshs700 million that would have done wonders. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Koru-Soin Dam is an important project that will see River Nyando waters harvested and curb the perennial floods that we are currently seeing. In my opinion, there is more than meets the eye. I hope DCI, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) will not prosecute this in the media. They should do their thorough job so that Kenyans do not lose Kshs700 million. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: In best procurement practices, if a company bids the lowest and has the capacity to do the job, it should be awarded the tender. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my worry is that this will be another scandal where Kenyans are likely to lose Kshs700 million. I hope that the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources will be given an opportunity so that the procurement process can be transparent. In future, I will bring further statements to bring specifics into this matter. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: I support and hope that the Committee will give us the feedback as soon as practically possible because Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Outa and I have a very strategic interest view
• 25 May 2021 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
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: in this matter. We hope for the best in the country and for the people, who are supposed to benefit from that water. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I want to support the Statement by Sen. Cheruiyot on the issue of export of samples. It is very sad that in this era, we have to take some samples to abroad for further analysis. I had a friend who had meningitis in Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and his samples had to be taken to South Africa for medical analysis. In the process of getting analysis from as far as South Africa, or any other country where further medial analysis is being done, it is heart wrenching for the families. They are told ... view
