• 20 Mar 2019 in Senate: The third and most important role is oversight. Most MCAs have forgotten their oversight role. I remind them that the Constitution envisaged a situation where we needed separation of power between the two arms of Government at the county level. We have the executive and the legislature. It is, therefore, important for MCAs to be reminded that their core mandate is oversight. They need to check the executive. These projects will be implemented by the executive and not MCAs. Let it be very clear to them that it is them to ensure that monies allocated for certain projects in their ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion by Sen. Wetangula. I support it because it is a sorry state in our country. Seeing people die because of basic needs is an embarrassment to the leadership of this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Wetangula categorically said that Turkana and Baringo counties are the most affected, but I want to believe that we have even more counties which are affected due to this starvation. I have done a research and have realized that more than 3.4 million Kenyans are suffering due to lack of food. The problem of food has ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was just trying to deliberate on the issue of women walking long distances to look for wild berries, which they need to boil for a whole day, just to ensure that the concentrated poison is reduced before they consume them. It is quite a pity that, that is happening in a county in this country, yet we have counties which have plenty of food. When you go to Kakamega County, for example, you will find women with plenty of food trying to sell it. This then calls for our understanding and clear attention on what the ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: In my valedictory remarks, I was emphasizing on the importance of the Senator and the Senate, as House, to go and audit, and ensure that the monies that we release to marginalized counties are used for the right purpose. This will ensure that we do not come here next year and continue lamenting as people lose lives in those counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Bi.Spika wa Muda, ulipeana mwelekeo kwamba kila kiongozi atapewa dakika tano. Kwa hivyo, sio vizuri Sen. Madzayo kupata hoja ya nidhamu ambayo inachukua dakika zake mbili au tatu. Kama Naibu Kiongozi wa Waliowachache, naomba umpe Sen. Madzayo muda mrefu kidogo kwa sababu Sen. Cherargei---- view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I join my colleagues in welcoming the MCAs from Elgeyo-Marakwet. The presence of these MCAs resurrects a fresh memory of my past. I was an MCA in Kakamega before I came to the Senate. We all know devolution is meant to take resources down to the counties. Therefore, they are our ambassadors of hope. There has been a debate on who exactly between the Senator and the MCA is supposed to perform the primary role of oversight. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had challenges on issues of oversight at county level. I urge the ... view
