• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the committee led by my friend, Sen. Ali Roba, for this Bill. Similarly, I take this opportunity to add on what the Senator of Kitui County has just said. I want to start with the Second Schedule on the Road Maintenance Levy. I sit in the Committee on Roads with the Senator Wambua. The Cabinet Secretary came before our committee and told us that he has Kshs 7 per litre added on fuel levy and he was going to use it for offsetting pending bills. If I am not wrong, ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: chaired by my friend, Senator for Wajir, Sen. Abass, went to Lamu. We found that the county has done some construction work and they have not finished. If you look at where the construction is now, they would need millions of money to finish. So, what is the purpose of sending money to the counties and you do not finish your projects? Two weeks ago, we went to Lodwar in Turkana County. There is a park called Biashara Park, a three-storeyed building, but not finished. It consumed millions and millions of monies. There are projects that are not complete. They ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: When we support and pass this budget, we think we are supporting the governors. Yes, we need to support the governors, but we need also to support our people. We are not supporting an individual, but communities. If you really care about your community, where you come from, please visit your counties. You should go to the wards and see the project that has been initiated, the ones that have been completed and what has not been completed. With that, you will know the exact situation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I live in Karen and the road going to my ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Allow me to speak. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I was just saying is this. At 6.00 O'clock, we have to go to the Mosque. So, considering that we have a few of us here who are going to go to the Mosque, let us limit to three minutes. That is fine with us. view

• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute on the three Statements. The first one is the Statement that was requested by the Senator of Lamu. The problem facing all the 47 counties in this country is that some governors claim to have about 35 to 36 per cent of money on development. However, if you go to those counties to see what they have done, it is less than five per cent. You will find it written all over, including in the newspapers, that a certain county is using 40, 30, or 15 per cent of the budget on development, ... view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: problems. If you look at what the Government is trying to do, they are trying to vaccinate animals to a tune of 22 million head of cattle. Why do you spend that money on animals? Why do you not spend that money on people because they are dying? With the Broad- Based Government now, I think we have better eyes, better ears and also better stomachs. Let us think of how we are going to start caring about human lives. Thirdly, Mr. Speaker, Sir--- view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request to be added one minute. Thirdly is the issue of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). I raised the issue of compensation sometime back. If you go to KWS, they will tell you the money is supposed to be paid by the National Treasury--- view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: If you go to the National Treasury, they will tell you that the documents are with KWS. This is my request to the Committee. Please, invite KWS, the National Treasury, and even leaders from the 47 counties. Let them come and say what has been paid, what has not been paid, and what has been diverted to other uses, so that we can know because families are suffering. Some lost their fathers, uncles, sisters, and mothers. Let us take this matter seriously, so that we solve this problem once and for all. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
