• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I have read both Bills and ours, which was moved by Sen. Sakaja, my Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, is much better and superior than the one of the National Assembly. I, therefore, do not know why my Chairperson is retreating and standing behind a Bill which is half baked from the National Assembly, and there is nothing we can do more than that. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: I, therefore, think that the Chairperson needs to take a position on behalf of his own workers’ interests, who are on strike. The other day the workers of Nairobi City County were on strike, and these are part of the labour rights that the workers are looking for, both in spirit and substance of Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we must, therefore, take a position and agree on which way forward to ensure that we save the hard-earned money of county workers across the 47 county governments in this country. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look at Standing Order 105, it says there are some reasons as to why you can adjourn. Are we debating for the sake of it or we want to have a Bill for the purpose of achieving the interests of the county workers? Do we just want to push the process?

• 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: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. I would like to thank Sen. Wambua. I know the issue of pending bills is one of the biggest challenges in devolution. However, as the money has already been spent and we have pending work and bills, as a House, we should look further into these issues. As we have heard, most colleagues and businessmen---. It is now shameful and embarrassing to tell young people to apply for contracts in county governments because The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 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.
