• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: high rainfall. Let us not wait for disasters to happen. We should take this opportunity to put necessary intervention in place and ensure that we remain focused. With the discussion on the need for constitutional review, this is an opportune time to review the role of the national Government vis-à-vis that of the county governments to ensure that there are adequate resources allocated towards disaster and risk management. Now that we are having the conversation about constitutional review, we must think about disaster and risk management in this country so that we do not lose more lives or property in ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I want to congratulate Sen. Prengei for bringing the plight of non-payment of NIIMS agents and the clerks that participated. I do not understand the rationale of the Government. I think the Chair of National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, which the Statement is likely to be directed to, should tell us why it is that every time when any Kenyan works for the Government, they are not paid. The other day, we had the census clerks and it took a lot of pulling and noise. They are now in the process ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: allowed to access the funds from national Treasury. We want to request the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Planning and National Treasury again through the relevant Committee of National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations to order the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to pay those clerks who participated in NIIMS. I have listened to my friend, Sen. Wambua, and I think there was somebody who wanted to embarrass these national leaders. Why would you parade national leaders to launch something that was a wild goose chase? I have seen some news flash that the Ministry of Interior and ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I remember that last week, there was a common Petition that appeared almost the entire week. Your office had said that this week, through you, will listen to that Petition on allegations of corruption in Narok County. You ruled that it would not come back to the House after staying the whole week. It will be in the interest of the House and the people of Narok to know, and that Petition to be read in this House, so that matter can be dealt with expeditiously. Corruption is a cancer in our counties. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason I am asking is that it was already appearing on the Order Paper. I thought the processes had been completed. I can look for and table the Order Paper, where it stayed the entire week. In fact, Sen. Omanga and the HANSARD can bear me out that, that Petition was there. I thought that by the time the Petition is appearing on the Order Paper, the entire process has been completed; but I stand guided. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. temporary Speaker, Sir. We met the Cabinet Sectary (CS) in charge of the national Treasury and Planning, and he gave us the list of these projects. Shockingly, the list of development across the counties are only in three or four counties, yet we have 47 counties. Is the CS in charge of the National Treasury and Planning aware that there are 47 counties? That is something he should be aware of, when he is sharing the national cake. The issue of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is because of equity and fairness in distribution of projects. For ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: National Treasury came, he gave resources to do dams in only three counties. Are we borrowing Kshs9 trillion for only three counties? I want to request the Committee that this matter will be referred to the entire Senate. This is not an issue of only a Committee. Every county must be given two national Government projects. In the spirit of the BBI, these projects must be shared equally across the counties. Secondly, the CS must tell us why we are borrowing up to Kshs9 trillion; and each county should be allocated projects equally. For example, in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, we had ... view

• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and congratulations to my Chairman, Sen. Sakaja. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on the proposal by the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) to publish names and photographs of loan defaulters in the national dailies. In the Statement, the Committee should- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
