• 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. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are looking at interrogating this matter further. If there is any person that did not do due diligence, especially in ... view
• 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
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. Mine is to say that as the Chairman of Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, we have worked very hard during this Session and when we come back, there are so many issues that need to be dealt with. 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. Let them do their work as per the law. Let them not be used as the tools to determine the 2022 succession politics. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Secondly, Madam Temporary Speaker, is on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). I was one of the people who opposed the handshake; and when the BBI was brought, I thought it would cure all the issues that affect Kenyans. However, as I speak today, the BBI team has visited only two places, but they have a working draft. When we are saying no to increase of salaries to Members of Parliament (MPs), the BBI team is trying to expand the Executive! They are saying, “Let us have a Prime Minister and two Deputy Prime Ministers.” They are saying, “Let us have ... view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we will not allow them to undermine the spirit and the letter of this Constitution. They need not visit some few individuals, because we know where they are getting the working document that they have from. We want to tell the BBI team that they should first get the information from Kenyans and then decide on the way forward. 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
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I know the disbandment of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is inevitable, and my Committee will do the necessary. This is because we want to pursue what our brothers and sisters in the National Super Alliance (NASA) were pursuing; of electoral justice. We will ensure that we fix the IEBC and ensure that it is working so that Kenyans can get value for the elections that we have in this country. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, can you add me just one minute? As I conclude, when we come back, we will ensure that we discuss the issue of the referendum as a House. My Committee will provide the necessary legal advice and wisdom to ensure that we succeed in that endeavour. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the issue of respect from the National Assembly, I want to warn them that the issue of raising salaries in this country is not acceptable. From where I sit, I know that Parliament and parliamentarians already have the necessary terms and conditions of engagement in this country. ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am seeking your indulgence on the Statement on behalf of Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve. view
