• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The issues of provision of health services cut across counties. The other day, I went to Longisa referral hospital in my county. I was surprised to see patients sharing beds during this time of COVID-19 pandemic. The whole of last week, patients were complaining for lack of water in that hospital. As Sen. M Kajwang’ said, if this the trend then we must call upon all our MCAs to impeach all governors if this will offer be a permanent solution to problems facing our health sector in this country. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: The other allegation levelled against governor is failure to establish the Country Budget and Economic Forum. That is a very serious allegation. However, the observation of the Committee is that the Governor had taken steps towards establishing it. Therefore, the allegation was not substantiated. The allegations are so attractive in the very beginning, but when on gets deeply into the Committee’s observations, there is no evidence and not substantiated. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: There is also an allegation about failure to establish an audit Committee which cuts across all the counties. If one checks the audit reports we have been given all the time, these are always the allegations. The Committee found that the allegation was not proved. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: When see out of 15 almost 14 allegations are not substantiated, I tend to think something must be done by out county assemblies to make sure that allegations leveled against governors meets threshold for impeachment. They must be convincing even to the people outside there that something surely is in the Senate. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second charge was abuse of office. This issue also cuts across most of the counties. Governors have established First ladies’ offices where a lot of money is allocated to them. They go round the offices harassing people. These are things which are not in the Constitution. I was expecting in these charges to see a robust accusation with evidence to impeach the Governor. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in violation of Article 73 (2), the Committee finds the allegation was not proven and was, therefore, unsubstantiated. That is the poetry or song that is moving from one allegation to the other. I do not want to belabour so much of this debate. However, in future, when such impeachment happens, I urge our MCAs to make sure that they look for evidence that is strong enough to give to this House that charisma and courage to go through and come out with proper impeachment with substantial information. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: I am still reading so that I may make a proper conclusion on this when it comes to voting. Otherwise, as of now, I ask MCAs to be very serious when it comes to impeachment matters. They are expensive to our counties. I urge them to do thorough oversight activities in their counties so that they may support us. This is because most of times, we are here in the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that whenever you hear most of the counties we have gone, you hear the people, society and the public saying that most of ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: 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
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: I encourage the MCAs to support this Senate in monitoring those projects that are being initiated. They should evaluate them from inception and inform members of public their progress. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the county assemblies are very important to us. We encourage them all the time not to go to bed with their governors, but make sure they do thorough oversight whenever we are not there. This is so that they give this important House a good report that will enable us make thorough and informative decisions. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the people of Bomet who love the truth, I say no to this impunity. view
