• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Division of Revenue Bill with amendments. I agree that the counties need more money. The Kshs310 billion that was proposed was too little for the counties. Therefore, we need Kshs335 billion. We need more money to go to the counties. First is the (Medical Equipment Scheme) MES. This issue has been very thorny because there have been unclarified matters. That has been a conduit of corruption – even if the National Assembly had proposed a reduction from Kshs9.4 billion to Kshs6.2 billion, I thank the Committee for removing the money that ... view
• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: MES. This was a way of swindling money. As set out in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, the health function has been devolved. When you look at MES and upgrading of Level 5 hospitals, the increment on trying to bring back the national Government to continue discharging the health function is against the spirit of devolution in this country. I have seen their proposal on agriculture. These are some of the issues that we need more money to be given to the counties. We do not need more money to be given to the national Government on issue of ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also join you in welcoming students from Isiolo County and wish them well. I am also made to understand that St. Theresa‟s Tartar Girls‟ High School students were here. My elder sister, Madam Consolata, is the Principal of that school in West Pokot County. I hope that Sen. Poghisio is taking good care of her. Secondly, I agree that the rising cases of insecurity in the universities and other institutions of higher learning are very alarming. I hope that the various university councils and senates that run these institutions will come up with ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bible says that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. Some of us were witnesses of your evangelistic work in the North Rift. As I conclude, I emphasize that the management that runs these universities institutions must work together with the DCI. We now challenge the DCI to step in and tell us what is really happening that we are experiencing a lot of insecurity especially in our institutions of higher learning. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we stand and condole with the families that have lost their loves ones. view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate Sen. Mwaruma on that issue of compensation. My colleagues have delved so much and talked about Article 40 of the Constitution on Protection of Right to Property. In fact, Article 40(3)(b) says when there is a compensation by Government:- ―(i) requires prompt payment in full, of just compensation to the person.‖ It goes on and says, in Article 40(4), that it should be done in good faith. view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there have been a lot of problems with regards to compensation. I agree with Sen. Sakaja that when a project is being carried out especially on the issue of construction of roads, compensation is factored in the project cost. What shocks everybody is that there seems to be a well-orchestrated scheme by the National Land Commission (NLC), the Kenyan National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. This money has already been made available and the law is very clear that the compensation should be just and prompt. The other day we discussed about ... view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: It seems there is a cartel that ensures that when there is a project being undertaken and it involves land, they do not care about the land belonging to poor Kenyans and they want to deprive them of it. The law is very clear about this matter as stated and articulated in Article 40. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that the people of Taita Taveta County are suffering. It has been mentioned here by my colleagues that many Kenyans follow up on their payment until they lose it. There is collusion between the agencies that run roads like KeNHA, the ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. The Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and the Senator for Laikipia County has travelled with another delegation out of the country. I, therefore, welcome the MCAs and staff members from Laikipia County on his behalf. The MCAs are the primary source of oversight in our counties, and I hope they will learn a lot. One of the things that this House has been debating and considering is the County Wards Development Equalisation Bill, 2018, to ensure that the MCAs have the ability to do their ... view
