• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: governments for consideration in preparation of a comprehensive and accurate report to be tabled in mid-October. (d)The Committee in the course of its oversight role started an inquiry into the representation of Kenya's diversity in staff composition of various state agencies. I am pleased to inform you that the Committee has successfully met with 29 State agencies as part of the inquiry process, with each agency providing valuable input towards the progress report that I will table within the course of this week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee in future plans to- (1) Conclude on the Motion of the Current ... view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey. About 35 governors appeared before my Committee. I have realized that this country is facing the issue of wage bill. We have parallel payrolls in many counties; the manual payroll and the automated payroll. Imagine a county getting a budget of Kshs5 billion and the wage bill is Kshs3 billion. In some instances, it is even Kshs4 billion. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: I want to give you an example of the County of Kirinyaga. Kirinyaga County has got only Kshs800 million for their development programmes. Looking at Kshs800 million per year and their salary is almost Kshs2.3 billion, how would you manage development with only Kshs800 million? I want to thank Gov. Waiguru because she has done a lot with the Kshs800 million per year that she is getting. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: The problem we have in this country is the issue of ghost workers. If you look at the situation in all the counties, their wage bill is very high, but production is less than 50 per cent, maybe even 30 per cent. If you are paying salaries to your people and those people are not working, how do you expect to develop that particular county? That is a problem that people and leaders in this country need to sit and discuss. That is the issue that Sen. Cherarkey is raising. We had his Governor today before us. We discussed the ... view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: Let me also support the Statement by Sen. Onyonka on the issue of the ADC Farm. It is very important. We need to have a comprehensive report about ADC farms. If you can remember, in the 1990s, with his wisdom, the then President Daniel Toroitich The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: arap Moi gave land to the poor, five acres each, both in Ndabibi and Muindabi area, which is in Naivasha. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: These was land that belonged to the ADC. However, what happened? This land ended up in the wrong hands. The Provincial Commissioners (PCs,) the District Commissioners (DCs) and the Divisional Officers (Dos) grabbed those lands. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: If you go to Ndabibi today, where the farm was, you will find that those farms were taken by the, who-is-who in this country. We are facing the same problem again today, not only on ADC but there is the issue of investors taking Government land, purporting to be building houses for low-cost housing. I said this before and I am saying it again. The same problem that happened in 1990 is coming back again. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: I think what ADC needs to do is to tell us how many farms they have in Kenya. Some ranches like Solio Ranch in Laikipia, which were meant for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), were grabbed. Some acres in that ranch were meant for IDPs, but we do not know what is happening with all the acreage now. We were told the Government bought that land for IDPs. We need to know how many acres were meant for IDPs, how many acres went to individual people and who those individual people are. view
• 1 Oct 2024 in Senate: Lastly, the issue of ADC is not only about land. They have got animals on those farms. We need to know what is the productivity of those animals. Is it helping this country financially? If it is not helping, then we must be told what has to be done, so that we engage ADC as an entity that is supposed to do business. view
