• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that correction. The Chair of Labour and Social Welfare Committee – of which I am also a Member - tried and exhausted the salient areas in the Bill. What we have been trying to do is to ensure that we have a County Government Service Retirement Scheme. This Bill is, therefore, timely. Madam Speaker---. My apologies. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why I keep repeating Madam Speaker. The last time I contributed, possibly it was Madam Speaker on the Chair. Even as devolution takes shape, there are so many legislations that we need to put in place and one of them is this. I agree that Clause 7 with regard to the Board of Trustees and County Government Retirement Scheme should be included in the Bill. However, there is no representation in line with the Constitution, where we should have a representative outlook in this board of trustees to ensure that the marginalized ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: My apologies. The way he was looking at me was suspicious. He seemed not to be trusting what I was saying. I do not know why. We had a serious conversation on one television station last Sunday in the evening and I think he might still be--- view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: It was not lost but he was shocked. I agree that the board should be comprised of people with integrity and impeccable track record in terms of carrying out any public affairs, so that it does not become a cash cow. We have many boards and we have heard allegations of many parastatals which have become a cash cow for only few individuals. Clause 8 provides that anybody who will be appointed to the Board of Trustees must be a person who meets the threshold on leadership and integrity. Last week, my Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to ensure that the functions are precise, concise and clear. The board should not just add other directions. We have instances where a CEO mismanages a parastatal or a board and the allegations are that the board sanctioned some of the decisions being implemented by the CEO. I now want to move to Clause 22 and I will rush through it because I only have two points, so that my colleagues can also have an opportunity to contribute. This is about appointment and functions of the Fund Manager. We should have a person with ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the outset, I support this Bill. We are doing everything possible to instill and actualise the principles and objects of Article 174 of the Constitution. It is very important that we actualise the dream because when you look at Section 23 of the County Governments Act, it is very clear that any publication can be done through the Kenya view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: or the county gazettes . So, the County Printer will give actualisation to what is talked about in the Office of the County Printer Bill (Senate Bills No. 7 of 2018). To ensure that there is also proper dissemination of information as provide for under Article 35 of the Constitution, this is one of the laws that will enrich in ensuring that we create timely access to information which is held by the state. As you have heard, one needs to come all way to Nairobi to access some of the documents. Some of them do not need to take ... view
• 12 Jun 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can see that most Senators are in agreement with me. I should be given time to define “slay queens”. These are people who do not work hard to earn their pay. Therefore, they are more of flower girls and pageboys. We do not just have “slay queens”, we also have “slay kings”. I am not against any person perceived to be a “slay queen”. To clarify to Sen. M. Kajwang', my good friend, no one is against them but the definition and their modusoperandi does not ensure maximum productivity in our counties. That is why ... view
• 7 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Chebeni for her statement. I urge the Committee for Education led by sen. (Dr.) Langat to ensure they look into that issue. Yesterday, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) released a report on sexual abuses in our schools. It is very sad that this is happening in our schools. That is why we need to relook and encourage more day schools. According to the report, most sexual offences or abuses happen during games time and 4.30 a.m. to 5.00 a.m. We need to encourage more day schooling to ensure ... view
