• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: that the money will go back to China. What are we doing about these conditional loans that are being given to the Kenyans? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even on other aspect of borrowing to pay debts, it is not very good. One, the revenue collection will go down and the reduction of revenue will also hurt the essential services that are supposed to be given. God forbid, if we continue borrowing and raise our borrowing to Kshs9 trillion against Kshs9.8 trillion, in future we might cede control of strategic national assets to foreign creditors. Some of the strategic assets that ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: The third point is on the issue of devolution. The Parliamentary Budget Office told the Committee that it is not safe for the country to continue borrowing. The census are out and I have seen that Tharaka-Nithi County is not doing very well. Maybe you should encourage men to go home early and start baby-making sessions, so that the numbers can go up. We are looking into the future where money will be allocated based on population and not trees or landmass. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of interest on loans, it is sad that the country has ... view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: against this massive, uncontrolled and unprecedented borrowing by the Government. We must stop this. As I conclude, there are many projects across the country. However, why is it that these projects are in specific regions? In the entire North Rift, there are no serious projects that are being undertaken. Sen. Kang’ata and Sen. Kihika have been whipping Members, which is okay. However, on this matter, let us stop political party politics here. Let us vote with Kenyans. Kenyans will not forgive us if we continue to borrow simply because we want to please our political parties. Let us vote based ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support Sen. Wambua on this Statement. As we have already said, the rains should be a blessing. We have heard from the Meteorological Department that probably as we go into the next few months, there will be heavy rains across the country. It is sad that we have lost some children in some parts of north eastern region. We continue to condole with their parents and relatives, and wish them well. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is so sad that the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, where the issues of ... view

• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in all fairness, because some of us are young, it is not a criminal offence to be a DJ. Sunday is the day we praise the Lord, so there is no problem. If the governor can discharge his duties as a DJ without necessarily interfering with his work as a governor, there is no problem. Being a DJ is good job. It is earning millions to many young people in this country. We cannot say to be a DJ is a bad thing. Let him be DJ on Sunday, but on Monday be in office by 8.00 ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I endeavour to be very precise. I am disappointed with the work of the Special Committee. It seems that they have assisted in rubber-stamping and letting go of Gov. Samboja by saying that he can now be referred The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: to the EACC or the DCI. I would like to go on record that we can no longer participate or be a process of ensuring that governors walk away scot free. view
