• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the sources of law is court decisions and judgments which is used to grow legal jurisprudence. Sen. Kang’ata is my senior in profession. However, he is taking a wrong tangent to interpret this issue. The Supreme Court which is the highest court has pronounced itself on this matter. If it is that hard, you can give him two minutes to consult the senior counsel, Sen. Omogeni, who is sitting behind him. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I commend the Committee on Finance and Budget, through its Chair, for the wonderful work. I can see that they started in November 2018 and now we have a good Report. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have read their recommendations, which are very far-reaching. It is good that they have rejected the Salaries and Remuneration Commission’s (SRC) recommendations. During the first generation of devolution, governors were constructing houses up to the tune of Kshs1 billion. When it came to the County Integrated Development Plan ( CIDP ) and the annual development plans, most ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: headquarters, deputy governor’s and speaker’s residences and county assembly chambers that will host plenary sessions and committee sittings. They should have a particular simple heritage, which is the pride of every region. For example, Turkana County or Mombasa County should have its unique design that represents a specific symbolism with the purpose of ensuring that devolution works for the people. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that we need county headquarters that are very convenient to use. This is because they do not belong to specific governors, but the residents. They are places where issues can be handled. The capping of ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: make sense. I am happy that the SRC, in consultation with the Committee, has set the maximum capping. I hope that there will be a mechanism to monitor this. The Chairperson of the Committee on Budget and Finance should ensure that they follow up on this because a governor’s residence has now been capped at Kshs45 million; deputy governor’s residence at Kshs35 million; speaker’s residence at Kshs35 million and, county headquarters at Kshs500 million. I hope that the Chairman of the Committee on Budget and Finance will do proper follow up, so that we do not exceed this capping. What ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: contract that was awarded of Kshs150 million for the construction of governor’s residence in county ‘X’ or “Y’ would be reduced to Kshs45 million. We must do it in an amicable way or use alternative dispute resolution. We do not want to have many court orders delaying some of these projects and derail success of devolution in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, as we move forward in making sure that our governors, deputy governors and speakers are comfortable and work in air conditioned offices, they must also deliver services to our people. As we also ensure that we build county ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not ready to move because I did not travel. The Members who travelled are not in the House to second. I request that you defer it to a later date. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that communication. My only concern is that the Senate directed that the issuance of Huduma numbers should be suspended. I have been made aware that the Ministry and all necessary organs proceeded to ignore the direction of the House. We need guidance on how to proceed after the same CS in charge of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Dr. Fred Matiang'i, ignored the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. It is very important for us to get proper direction so that as we engage him, he should tell us the ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: numbers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a serious issue such that when we go to public barazas everywhere, Kenyans want to know what the Huduma number is all about. It is, therefore, important that we get direction so that when the CS comes before us, he can tell us why he ignored the Senate and many other issues. Thank you. view
