• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: I have been quoted elsewhere saying that in future, we will strongly advise the counties to disobey any laws that have been passed without the concurrence of the Senate. If you say it does not affect counties, why should you force the counties to follow the same laws that do not concern them? The protector of the counties is the Senate. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I personally invited you to come to Villa Rosa Kempinski to look at the draft proposal that you generated while you were the Senate Majority Leader. You are making tremendous progress in leadership. In the last Parliament, you were the Senate Majority Leader; you are now the Deputy Speaker, and God’s know the future is luminous. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: The draft of 2015 was on constitutional review. The Senate seeks to be the upper House with the veto power to check and condemn some issues. You had advised us not to question. However, I have seen that they are discussing the handbags that women carry to the Chamber. It means they are idle in their business. Therefore, as the referendum comes, we must take a position as the Senate. 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
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Finally, I assure the House on the issue of moving to court. I will bring a proper Statement on Tuesday next week. We are ready to rock and roll on this issue. We are headed to court. I would like to tell my colleagues that this is the right time. If they are fainthearted or have blood pressure issues, they should keep off and watch the television or Viusasa because we are headed to the real battle. As we move on to court, my colleagues should know that what we are doing is not for our benefit, as Senators, but ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to support this Motion. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. Kibiru, the Senator for the great people of Kirinyaga County, and also the Chairperson of the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization for this well thought out Motion. This Motion will assist all our counties in the completion of all stalled projects through budgetary management. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this Motion comes at a time when, at some point, I was discussing with some Members on the possibility of looking at the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act; the regulations on how to ensure that when a project is being started, especially by the county governments, the law should obligate them to complete such projects. This Motion is informed by the fact that some of the Governors we are having are either serving their first term and, therefore, they think it is politically incorrect or not economically justifiable to finish or continue with the projects that their ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: I want to encourage Sen. Kibiru to ensure that he comes up with amendments to look at the PFM Act and the County Governments Act so that we can make county governments to be obligated. For example, if in Kajiado County, where you come from, they decide to build 30 Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in 30 wards or in three sub-counties today, there should be a possibility of obligating the county government, through the budgetary allocation, to ensure that, that project is completed. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen our President saying that we have the Presidential Delivery Unit ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on this issue of stalled projects, we have had Kshs366 billion and 545 projects that were being named. I was in the meeting where the President, his Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, was the chief guest during the launch of the Strategic Judiciary Report for the next five years. One of the major impediments, especially to the stalled projects nationally, is because of many court cases. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: The meeting of the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) meeting yesterday, which was chaired by the Deputy President and other members of the CoG, released Kshs365 billion to try and pay the pending bills. This is in accordance to the Presidential directive on Madaraka Day, which took place in Narok. Therefore, the President implored the Judiciary, through its Chief Justice, David Maraga, to ensure it does not become part of the impediment. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in Senate: I know that the stake in some of these Government projects is so high – it is high octane – such that many people would want to move to court and maybe block a project. Because of procurement procedures and the existence of the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA), people would move to court because of lack of public participation; or maybe the fact that there were vested interests, and somebody else was awarded the projects. This has led to some of the stalled projects in counties. What does this tell us? We do not want to reduce the Judiciary ... view
