msaada huko. Ile pesa inabaki huko ni ile ya watu wa kuteremsha hiyo mizigo wanalipwa, peke yake. Bw. Naibu wa Spika, kama ni shilingi mia mbili, ile pesa inabaki huko, ni shilingi elfu kumi ya kuteremsha hiyo mizigo peke yake na shilingi 199,990,000 inarudi hapa Nairobi. Hata pesa hakuna kwa miji kwa sababu pesa zote zimerudi Nairobi, vile imetumwa kutoka Nairobi, inarudi Nairobi. Lakini wale watu masikini kidogo wako na milioni moja au mbili; na wamefanya kazi na kaunti, mpaka leo, miaka tano au sita baadaye, hawajapata pesa zao. Ningependa hata Mhe. Rais wetu, akae afikirie raia wake, kwa sababu ...

The committee successfully mediated a long-standing dispute between the warring communities, bringing harmony to their previously strained coexistence which had threatened further animosity between communities, led to displacement of people, loss of lives and property.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am happy to get this opportunity to also support this Bill’s amendment by the distinguished Senator for Nandi County, Sen. Cherarkey. Article 179 (3) up to 180 talks about County Executive Committees (CECs). This amendment is very crucial and it came at the right time. Removing a CEC member with one-third is not justifiable. What Sen. Cherarkey has done is commendable. We need to have two-thirds majority, as he has said, to enhance this threshold. We need to sit with Sen. Cherarkey to add a few amendments here and there. It is ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you want to amend these laws, we need to help our MCAs get a salary of at least not less than Kshs400,000 a month. If we want them to do a very good job, we must empower them. Some people are saying MCAs are removing governors and deputy governors from the offices, and that they can be influenced to do so. Probably that can happen because they do not have enough money to attend their own personal things, like taking their children to school. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will tell you today, how do ...

Even some items, specifically, electrical items, are already outdated. They cannot be used now. They need to remove most of them. The main contractor had so many sub-contractors, you could not even know who was doing what. That was the Statement from Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). There is an elephant in the room; the Parliamentary Joint Services led by a Director General. Next week, I will bring a statement in that regard. We want to know how much budget they have and how that money is used. I also thank Sen. Wambua. He brought up an issue of employees who ...
