• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: I do not look better with that information, but I will try to look for that report. Madam Temporary Speaker, we went to the Brazil National Command Centre. When a disaster happens across Brazil, it takes 20 seconds to reach the National Command Centre. I hope we will borrow from the best practices as we form this Authority. I am objecting Clause 31. Why are you giving a governor and county commissioner to co-chair? We know the fights we have been having between the national Government and county government. Can you make county commissioners be part of the membership of ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank Members for running to our refuge immediately. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: While I rise to oppose this amendment, I request that we proceed with the matters of the House. I agree that this is a very important Bill, in fact, for all of us, under Article 210. I rise to oppose any reduction of monies to counties. The Mover said that in the last financial year of 2023/2024, counties got Kshs385 billion of the shareable revenue. In fact, I remember Kshs401 billion that we had before this amendment came, was out of mediation as per Article 113 of the Constitution. I expected the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to give ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must confront the issue of pending bills. Many people in our counties are diabetic or have pressure because for five, six or ten years down the line, they have not been paid their dues. We must agree as a country that there is a lacuna in law, especially on issues of voiding of payments. When you see counties owing a pending bill of Kshs120 billion, it makes some of us sad because counties were supposed to create opportunities for most of our businesses in Kapsabet town, Wote, Homa Bay, Migori and Turkana. That is why ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: we are doing well in terms of business. There are so many chemists and pharmacies because there are no drugs at Kapsabet County Referral Hospital. Go to Setek, Maraba, Kobuchai, Kaptumo, Chepterwai and Mosoriot. When you go to all those health centres, including Kapkangani, there are no drugs yet we fight here. You could see how Sen. M. Kajwang’ and the Senate Majority Leader were. Every body here was animated. We want resources to go to Makueni, but do we see the value for money that we are pushing for? As I wind up, there are two institutions that have ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: . However, that money is used to enrich a few county elites. People become millionaires overnight. We create 47 billionaires in the counties, yet we fight hard here for the money to go there. Whenever we go to mashinani, the Governor do not even recognise the efforts of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, despite him fighting that more money should be allocated to Kakamega County, for example. I want to challenge the EACC, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Controller of Budget (CoB), to ensure that the money--- Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you and I know that the economy is ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: I must admit and I want to challenge the Committee on Finance and Budget. I can see three Members from that committee. Kindly, maintain Kshs401 billion. I have not seen your report. However, if you have maintained Kshs401 billion, you will be the heroes of devolution. view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: We must defend devolution with blood and sweat. Let us cut on flowers, newspapers, mandaz i and chai in Government offices, but not cut the money that goes to counties. Let us cut the foreign travels that we undertake. For example, in my County of Nandi, the Governor spent Kshs310 million in gallivanting, parambulating and sightseeing through foreign and international travel across the world. More so, this was a report from the CoB. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in one of the international travels, he was attending a meeting on tarmac roads in China. I was wondering why he was going ... view
• 19 Sep 2024 in Senate: You go to Kapsengere, when will the helicopter arrive to ferry you away? You must need first aid. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, will tell you that you need Kapsengere Hospital. If you come here at Nandi Hill Sub-County Hospital, the only thing that has been fixed by the Governor is a mortuary. He has decided that he cannot treat us. He has decided that we go and meet the maker. That is the bad manners with all due respect that we see counties make. That is why as I support more money to go to counties as per the advice of ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Senator of Baringo County and my own behalf, I extend a warm welcome to the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) for Baringo County Assembly. I confirm as the darling of MCAs across the country that their welfare on the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) in reviewing their parks and salaries and welfare is well catered for. Secondly, as the Vice Chairperson of Senate County Public Accounts Committee, I assure them that we are reviewing the law to give financial autonomies to counties so that they can have their County Revenue ... view
