• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen and women and all others working under unfavourable conditions are living in despair, yet few individuals want to illegally benefit from taxpayers’ money. This must stop. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: In my conclusion, I speak without any fear of contradiction that as elected leaders, we have a choice to make on which side of history we desire our names to be written. Whether we want to be on the side that supports corruption but fights it incognito or whether we want to take the bitter pill of supporting the fight against corruption, ramifications notwithstanding. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you. I want to join my brother, super Senator Johnstone Sakaja, to condemn that inhuman action that was done to those innocent citizens of Kenya and specifically Nairobi City County. We need to ask ourselves pertinent questions. One, who authorised the construction of those houses? I think this is the same thing that happened when we were demolishing houses built on riparian areas. We need to start interrogating on who gave the authority for those houses to be built in the first instance. We have the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) officers who are very corrupt. We need to ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is it in order for the Hon. Senator from Kericho to claim that my house was built on riparian land? According to the information I have and the papers I hold, it is clear that the house that I stay in is not on riparian land. Therefore, it is bad for the Senator for Kericho to insinuate that I stay on an illegal parcel of land. I want him to withdraw because we are being viewed across the country and I do not want to be part of land grabbers. He knows the land grabbers in this ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In the interest of time, I second this Report. I highlight one of the pertinent issues that the Chairperson has pointed out. This Report is very informative. When I was going through it, I felt as if we are betraying the objectives of devolution. The drafters of our Constitution envisaged a situation whereby devolution was supposed to help the poor women, children and the citizens in the counties. However, as it stands right now, county governments are not prioritizing their projects right. In a county like Kakamega, we have seen an attempt by the county ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the spirit of where we come from, I also want to start by sending greetings and welcoming my colleagues from Vihiga County Assembly. They are my colleagues because I was once an MCA and here I am as the Senator for Kakamega County. Let it be known that everything is possible. view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: Secondly, I want to assure MCAs countrywide that the Senate is committed to protecting county assemblies. Just an indication, we have a programme called Senate Mashinani. Last year, we went to Uasin Gishu and so we will be taking the Senate next to the people. This is a sign that the Senate is committed to protecting county assemblies. I suggest that this year, the Senate should have its sittings in Vihiga County Assembly because they have a wonderful Chamber. When you go to Vihiga County Assembly, you will think that you are here in Parliament. Through Sen. Khaniri, I would ... view
• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: I would also like to assure the MCAs of this country that we are committed to ensuring that they execute their mandate effectively. When you look at our Order Paper today, Order No.19 is The County Wards (Equitable Development) Bill which we will discuss today because we know the importance of that Bill. We know that MCAs were elected on the basis of development and therefore they must deliver for their people. view
