• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: (a) contravenes the Bill of Rights; (b) is repugnant to justice and morality or results in outcomes that are repugnant to justice or morality; or (c) is inconsistent with this Constitution or any written law.” view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Article 181, the removal of a governor is a constitutional matter. I am happy that the Njuri Ncheke has recused themselves and written to the High Court to remove themselves from that matter. With all due respect to that High Court Judge, I find it mischievous to refer matters that should not be entertained under ADR because this is a constitutional matter. If it was issues of marriage, succession and other matters that are of personal nature in the definition of law, then the High Court could refer. The Judiciary must be called out. I saw ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the concerns and interests of the Parliamentary Service Commissioner, if you can recall when the issue of budget to committees--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, I wish I could capture your attention. While I appreciate --- view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to research, men cannot multitask, but anyway, that is beside the point. I know the Commissioner is our employer and when he speaks, we must listen. Mr. Deputy Speaker, however, you are the Chair of the Liaison Committee, but I do not have the privilege of sitting at the Liaison Committee. The information we have had is that committees have had to cut down their budgets. Does it mean maybe the committee did not have enough resources to be able to do county visits to the specific area of Siany? Therefore, even as you direct, ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, as I rise to second, I want to indicate to my Chairperson that there is no Cabinet in place, except for a few people who are there, at the moment. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I thought they were still undergoing vetting. However, I am happy with the enthusiasm of my brother, who is an ODM member, because they are excited about being part of the Cabinet in history. That shows the intention of everybody wanting to join the Government. As I rise to second, let me make the following observations. County Assemblies essentially are the primary oversight. Unfortunately, some county assemblies and MCAs continue to be gatekeepers of ineffective, moribund and inefficient county executives across our nation. I am saying this with the backdrop that I want to send my special accolades to the ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: money is disbursed on time to county governments, so that it becomes easy to hold them accountable. As I go to the second substrata, I know that MCAs might argue that their welfare is not taken care of. However, we have done our best through the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). We have tried to push SRC to improve the welfare of the MCAs to get enough resources to ensure they do oversight. I am also happy that, for the first time, there is the goodwill of financial autonomy for the MCAs. There are some recommendations and legislative interventions from ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I said very categorically, and you can check the HANSARD; that I support accountability. However, I do not support them running away with the mace. I think it is important that we put that into perspective. They should do it with vigour and enthusiasm. I hope in the course of today or tomorrow’s sitting, Sen. Abbas of Wajir will give us a Statement either under Standing Order No.52 or No.53 on what transpired, so that he can put things in perspective. While we agree that there is no need of breaking chairs and other things within the Assembly, he should ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: situation. Maybe in Machakos or Nyamira, the story is different. However, in silent tones, the MCAs have been telling us the reason they do this is so that they do not get denied funds for their locations by County Executive Committee Members (CECM) for Finance of the respective counties. When we give financial autonomy to MCAs, they will be able to oversight. The history of this Parliament stated that our accounts were with the Office of the President. Therefore, it meant if you criticized the Government, you did not get your pay. We want to mirror what we are doing ... view
