• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. This Motion is coming at the right time when we have devolution. If there is anything to be devolved then it is what is in this Motion. These are the people who are crucial in the devolution process. They are the ones who should be telling us what to do and what not to do. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are talking about Kenya which has been independent for the last 50 years. The kinds of problems we are experiencing now were fewer before ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am of the view that, that is more of fiction than reality. I am not sure whether what we have been given by the Chairman is true because in my county, leave alone the constituency, that programme is not there. Even when I was a Member of Parliament that programme was not there in my constituency. It has never been there. Maybe it exists in some few selected areas. If there is such existence, that programme should be scrapped, because we are made to appear like we are the people who are getting the money ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Like my other colleagues, I also wish you the best of luck in your new position. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this report is, indeed, good given that the Members of the Committee are known to us and we know them as very thorough people; they did a good job. For them to table such a report, it is not a mean achievement. I would, therefore, first of all, congratulate and wish them luck also as they continue perusing more into this Report. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes we get lost. When we ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It has also been noted that there is a discrepancy between the figures that were discussed here earlier and the figures that are already tabled here in the Report. The discrepancy is a concern to me and also to others who are curious after looking at the figures. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the amount which has been released is monthly, and this is September. Noting that we have the earlier months, which is April, May, June, July and August, we are yet to be told exactly how the county governments are going ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a wonderful time for us this evening to contribute to this useful and timely Motion which has been moved by Sen. Mositet. Construction, maintenance, classification and even re-classification of roads is a very important aspect of development in any country which is serious, and I hope Kenya is one of them. What is interesting to note is that we do not know who is in charge of roads development in KeNHA, KeRRA, KURA et cetera. We do not really know what happens because of the poor infrastructure that we continue to witness in the ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me the chance to contribute to this very crucial Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are debating this Motion 50 years after Independence. Considering what is happening in the world today, you will note that without technology of this kind, any country will be regarded as backward. That is the position that we are in already. Since the time we were elected to this august House, we have visited many countries. When we compare those countries with what is here, we see Kenya as a backward country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important for Dr. Machage to note that for you to start any project, there must be a pilot scheme. This is one of the pilot schemes which are there. So, eventually, the whole country will be covered. Let him be informed about that. view
