• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: In my own opinion, it is better if we suspend or adjourn this debate until the Senate Business Committee (SBC) sits. We are lucky because many of the Members who sit in SBC are here with us. They can push in their meetings to ensure that this matter is prioritized and is dispensed with. By the time we are concluding on this issue, we should agree whether we are just debating for the sake of the process or we are debating to have quality process, at the end of the day. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let us suspend or adjourn this debate until the SBC gives direction on this. We are happy that the Members who sit in the Senate Business Committee are men and women of serious intellect and Solomonic wisdom. I am sure they will give proper guidance to this “Upper House” by the time we conclude the debate. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I have heard the National Assembly Members claim that we have sat on their Bills. It is not that we have sat on their Bills intentionally, but most of the Bills from the ‘Lower House” lack wisdom and intellect. That is why we take time to look at them. view

• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: they are fully aware that they are unable to pay suppliers. This is a big problem, because most banks and financial institutions are auctioning some of the properties and collateral that the business people provided before they took on the jobs within the county governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that, as we look into this matter, we need a special forensic audit on what happens so that if there is any responsibility - either personal in terms of the heads of county departments such as heads of procurement and governors - they must be held accountable. This ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Following your directions that you gave on this matter and the Statement that was requested, we looked into this issue of medical equipment and supplies and noted that these are seven-year contracts worth more than US$400 million. We noticed in the--- view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. We noticed that the needs assessment conducted by counties was never established. There were so many gaps and missing contractual documents between the Government and the county governments in the country. We also realized that there is a standard pricing of Kshs95 million at the inception of this process and it got to Kshs200 million, which is being deducted at the level of the National Treasury.

• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my good friend and Senate colleague is making very serious contributions. I do not why Sen. Olekina is mischievous; but my point is this; because we are adjourning in the next few minutes, of course it will not affect my good friend to at least limit the time so that all of us can contribute. That will be very prudent and I stand guided. view

There is the issue of the multi-agency committee on the fight against on corruption. In the next Session, we will look at more proactive measures in terms of legislative and policy framework, to ensure that we bring our issues together. My warning to the investigative agencies and agencies that are tasked ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we want them to carry out the fight against corruption even in our counties, in a more proactive way and within the rule of law, because nobody is above the law.
