• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: This is very important, but we need to ensure that, yes, the land is registered under the National Treasury as a trustee. However, if it can be done, then we need to add another amendment and say that, that land is not for resale because it is meant for a particular purpose. If it is meant for a hospital, it should remain for hospital. If it is meant for a school, it should remain for a school. It must be used for the purpose it was kept aside for. In the case of (c), a county government should keep the ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Similarly, the issue of registering only is not important. For example, if a governor leaves office, another governor can come and make excuses to register land under other purposes. They may reallocate or subdivide and sell it to other people. I will give you a good example. There was land in Marsabit that was allocated to the Government where houses were built in early 1960s. That land was subdivided and the houses allocated to individuals. I have a statement in that regard. I am waiting for correspondence from the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. To say that it ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My son who is in St. Vincent Medical College called me yesterday and asked me: “Baba, why are these people calling you, M-Pigs?” He asked why the Gen Zs are calling parliamentarians M-Pigs. I told him I did not know, but there is something that is wrong with us. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in support of this Motion, let me say a few things. 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
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope my friend, Sen. Osotsi, is not complaining about me because I was ahead of him. I was talking about Gen Z. Let me take this opportunity to thank our Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. You have done something I have never thought of. You have represented this country and not your parties nor individual interests. Thank you very much and may God bless you. Having said that, we have a problem. The problem facing this country is huge and we need a solution. Gen Zs are asking for a solution and not a discussion. ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if somebody from Marsabit calls me and asks; Mzee, view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: I tell them that I do not know. I saw a Cabinet Secretary (CS) wearing a Hublot watch costing Kshs 3.2 million, his belt costs, Kshs500,000, shoes, Kshs680,000 and the suit, is almost Kshs1.2 million. That is Kshs6 million walking on the street. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Then if somebody asks him where he is getting this money from, he says that he will go to court and sue them. Waende huko kortini sasa . Gen Zs have brought out these issues and we are going to face it head on. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if, as a Senate, we want to stop corruption and excesses, we must start from the counties. I am in the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and my committee Chairperson, Sen. Abass, is here. Development projects and programmes in some counties are up to the tune of 6 per cent ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: On the borrowings, if you look at President Moi's Budget in 2007, it was Kshs2.18 billion and the expenditure was Kshs324 billion. Similarly, in 2012, the budget was at Kshs1.52 trillion and today, our budget is at Kshs3.9 trillion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a problem which is not taxes that are being paid, but our expenditure. We live beyond our means; we have thieves as Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries (PSs) and MPs. Let us not spare this House. We also have a problem and we must start from this House. Everybody knows how much we are earning but ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: correct and you are trying to help a certain region, stop doing that. Do your work, sack all of them. We have lost a lot of money. I ask our Senate Majority and Minority Leaders to think about what we are going to do in handling the county governments’ issues. The problem starts with the counties. Every Gen Z comes from a county. If you go to your county today, you will find foreigners, including people we do not know, working in those counties. If these Gen Zs are allowed to work in their counties, do you think we would ... view
