• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can he allow us to do our business here? On the issue of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), I want to support Sen. Onyonka. The President assured the country that 16,000 classrooms will be ready for grade nine. As a House, we need to support the Government in the rollout of CBC. If anybody has a problem with CBC, bring a policy or a legislative intervention for the betterment of this country. This is the only way we will ensure this country moves forward in terms of education. Let us build a skill and life-based curriculum, ... view

• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make a few comments on the reports of the mediated version by the Senate and the National Assembly. I will say from the onset that I am disappointed by the outcome of the process. It looks like we succumbed to the whims and wishes of the National Assembly on this discussion. While these counties continue to struggle with the challenges of corruption, under-development and poor performance, it is not justifiable to deny them resources. When we proposed Kshs400 billion, I thought we had sent the best. I remember the Senator ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: I will borrow the words the nominee of the African Union Chairman (AUC), the party leader of Sen. Richard Onyonka when he read his statement and said that the role of parliament, both the National Assembly and the Senate, should be and must be oversight. It is time we totally scrapped NG-CDF. There is no need. How can you oversight money that you are spending? Why not take all that money and give it to counties and then all of us do oversight? Let them oversight national agencies and we oversight counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even on this RMLF, ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: As we talk today, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) accounts show that the Wajir County Government has Kshs2.6 billion lying in their account. Kisii County has Kshs6.7 billion lying in CBK. Nandi County has Kshs2 billion lying in CBK yet the Chairperson of the Council of Governors (CoG) is telling the country there is no money yet money for Wajir County worth Kshs2.6 billion is lying in the CBK accounts. The people of Wajir County do not have drugs and cannot access roads. Even in Nandi County, we have Kshs2 billion in the CBK accounts yet the governor is ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: nothing is happening, then there is a big problem with this country. The system is broken. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the way governors, including your governor, where Garissa Town is only a few metres from the river, and there is no water in Garissa town. The Governor is receiving money and smiling all the way to the bank. They should come back and account for it before the Floor of the House. When you ask governors to appear before committees, they do not come. I issued summonses to the Governor of Kisii, Hon. Simba Arati. I have issued summonses against ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, and ‘they see each other behind the tent’. Today, Sen. Onyonka is one of my biggest cheer squad here on the Floor of the House, and I am proud of it. Unfortunately, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: we give money to EACC and DCI from taxpayers to fight corruption, but there is nothing to smile about. As a reggae song says, when you look outside the window, do you see anything to smile about? Our counties are becoming bastions of inefficiency, moribundity and corruption. Finally, on the issue of own source revenue, Nairobi City County, according to the Commission on Revenue Allocation report, has the potential to collect Kshs67 billion, but it is collecting Kshs12 billion. Where is 50 billion? Nandi County has a revenue potential of Kshs700 million, but it is collecting Kshs200 million. I see ... view
