• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I challenge governors, county governments and even our county assemblies, to stop this issue of making decisions in the dark, or having village gatekeepers or adjusted decisions. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I would like to tell you for a fact that most of the court cases that county governments face is because they have not involved the people. People are just questioning on public participation, people’s interests and citizen participation. That is why most county governments are in court. They have been taken to court even on budget and policy issues. There are also a few legislations that have been taken to court on a few occasions by the public. This shows that public participation space in Kenya, especially in this region and the entire Africa, has ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Even as we call upon the national Government and the county governments to provide, I also want to do so to the private sector, which plays a critical role. They should also share information. Under Article 34 and 35, on the right to information and media freedom in this country, we want to challenge other stakeholders, who are non-State organs, to be part of the entire process of opening up their spaces, sharing information which is a constitutional right and ensuring that we move forward on some of these issues. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: As a Committee, we are ready to come up with legislations, policies and regulations that will be in place to ensure that we are seized in open governance. I want to challenge all these State organs that if you make decisions in an open, transparent, fair, citizen or people centered, and there is public participation, we will have many Kenyans being happy to be part of that decision making process.

• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: As we talk about the Big Four Agenda, we need to ensure that we bring everybody on board, so that on some of these decisions we make, we let people know what is happening. Before I forget, with your guidance, we have the Senate Mashinani program. The other day, you led us to Uasin Gishu County and now Kenyans know the role of the Senate, as provided for under Section 96. I am happy that the House leadership is here, because they have been instrumental in opening the Senate so that people can understand. I know that there are some ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: they do not know the vision and they do not have the information that you want to change them through. This could be the annual development plans, county integrated development plans and the processes that we have. Therefore, I want to challenge all the stakeholders to be open, and to ensure that we engage the Government and various agencies. Finally, the custodian of public interest is no longer the Attourney-General. Anybody can walk to a court of law or any Government institution, and demand for information, as provided for under this Constitution. I challenge the citizens of Kenya not to ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make a comment on that Petition by Sen. Omanga on the delay of opening of Njiru Secondary School. The right to education is a constitutional right and the fact that the school remains closed is very unfortunate and many children around and within Njiru should not be in any way denied the basic access to their education. On the issue of land or ownership of land by many secondary schools in this country; there was a directive by the Ministry of Education that every school must be assisted by the Ministry of ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a Petition on refusal by the Ministry of Health and county governments to conclude the collective bargaining agreement negotiations. We the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and officials of the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO), acting on our behalf and more than 20,000 clinical officers registered and practicing in Kenya, draw the attention of the Senate to the following: (1) That on 5th October, 2017 the Union, 47 county governments and the Ministry of Health entered a return-to-work formula where we were to sign a recognition agreement and commence negotiations ... view
