Asante Sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda, kwa nafasi hii. Kama nilivyotanguliza hapo awali, ninaunga mkono Hoja hii ambayo imeletwa na Mratibu wa Walio Wengi Katika Seneti. Hii ni mara ya kwanza kuunga Hoja ambayo ameleta kwa sababu tunaenda likizo. Nina mambo mawili tu. Kwanza ni kuhusiana na kazi ya Bunge la Seneti. Tumejaribu pakubwa kulingana na vile ambavyo tumepewa katika Ibara ya 96 ya Katiba yetu ya Kenya. Tumejaribu kufanya yale yaliyokuwa mbele yetu na yale ambayo yametendeka. Huu ulikuwa wakati ambapo uhuru wa Seneti na Bunge la Taifa uliangamizwa na Serikali ya Taifa. Ninakumbuka wakati huo ndio Mratibu wa ...

Sijafurahia mchakato wa Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Ikifika wakati huo, nitapinga. Hii kwa sababu haijapata ile azima na dhamira ya Wakenya. Uchumi wa taifa letu la Kenya hauwezi kukidhi ama kubeba ule mzigo ambao Wakenya wataongozewa. Kwa mfano, tutakuwa na Bunge kubwa ambalo tutakuwa tunalipa Ksh20 bilioni. Uchumi wa Kenya umekuwa uchumi wa mtumba. Uchumi ambao hauwezi kupanua Serikali ya kitaifa, na Bunge la Kitaifa na Seneti.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the petitioner from Kericho County. The issue of boundaries is a very serious issue. I hope our colleagues in the National Assembly will prioritize the Bill by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., so that this issue can be addressed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kisumu County is one of the interesting and a notorious neighbours of Nandi County. This is because we have two matters that we have filed with National Land Commission (NLC). The boundary between Nandi County and Kisumu County has been approved. When they wanted to privatize Nyando Sugar Belt through State-owned factories ...

I want to commend my Whip, Sen. Farhiya, for that bold statement and I agree with her entirely. We need our Committees to be efficient, effective and deliver as per the Standing Orders. I am proud of my former Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja. I think he is performing beyond our expectations and he is soaring high. When I was a Member of that Committee, I learnt a lot and I am happy that my former Committee of Labour and Social Welfare is doing very well. I can see they are doing a lot of deliverables. I want to tell the Committee ...

cannot speak for anybody else - and my record speaks for itself - that the biggest challenge with our counties, be it the county executive, is the ballooning wage bill. I want to challenge the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to re-look on how we can assist counties so that they do not go beyond the threshold where more money is going to wages as compared to development. The other issue is on labour regime; the issue of the National Government freezing of hiring through the Public Service Commission. There was a freeze by the Treasury on the hiring ...
