• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: I take this opportunity on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Nandi County, to pass our deepest condolences to the families of more than 50 lives that were lost in West Pokot County. I also wish a quick recovery to the many people who are still recuperating in various health facilities in West Pokot and the neighbouring counties. There has been wanton destruction of property in West Pokot County. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I thank the agencies that have come out to support the people of West Pokot County through finance and other forms of support such as prayers. As Sen. (Dr.) Langat has said, we would like to see a more proactive reaction to disaster response and management in the country so that we prevent more disasters from happening. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, yesterday, the national Government, through the Deputy President, reached out to people in the affected area. I hope that in future, our systems will be more proactive. We cannot prevent disasters from happening, but we can at least mitigate them by putting necessary measures and systems in place. 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
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Unfortunately, the Cabinet Secretaries in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas as well as the Regional Commissioner could not fly to West Pokot County yet we needed to see them on the ground. You are the Senator for Uasin Gishu County which is 73 kilometres to West Pokot. We expected the Cabinet Secretaries to even go by road if the choppers were not in working condition. Interestingly, when the Auditor-General raised a red flag on the purchase of military helicopters, the Ministry concerned informed us that the ... view
• 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
