• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chairman and the Ministry have done very well because they have paid after the question has been asked but he went ahead to say that each university has its own rules. The question is; lecturers from institutions of higher learning which should set examples have not been paid since 2013. The Senator has laid on the Table a list of 46 other lecturers, who have not been paid. Would I be in order to ask the Chairman to ask the Minister to ensure that all unpaid lecturers in public universities are paid forthwith? We are ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I confirm that I had a chat with the distinguished Senator, and she promised that she would bring the answer tomorrow in the afternoon. I therefore oblige. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am standing on two issues. First, as we were going on recess, there was the issue of cash transfers to the elderly and disabled which I had raised. I remember even Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. had view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for the retired Judge, Sen. Madzayo, however, the Chair dealt with this Statement for a very long time until it reached a point where he hit the wall. I think it is only fair that he takes the matter from where he left it. If he is to consult the Clerk, so be it. But as far as this House is concerned, the responsibility lies squarely on the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senators in this House, I want to thank the Chair and state that two weeks would be sufficient but I want to plead that sufficient information be brought. As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. suggested, it should be brought at least a week before so that we can interrogate it so that when the Cabinet Secretary comes, we will be in a position to deal with the matter conclusively. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I support this Bill on the County Allocation of Revenue. When the Chairperson of the relevant Committee, Sen. Billow, was moving this Bill he gave an example of Kitui County and said it has been allocated Kshs7.2 billion. I want to confirm that since this world was created this amount of money or even any amount near that figure has never been seen in Kitui County. Therefore, I applaud devolution because it is only through devolution that we can see resources devolved by the national Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, you know as ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: I apologise for that, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be looking at you so that I do not make the same mistake. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have emphasised the issue of accountability. I have asked my fellow Senators to publish all the figures as we give out money. I promise that I will publish all the money that we have given to Kitui County Government since its inception to date. Members of the public along with the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) will assist me in ensuring that the money is properly accounted for. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I deserve to be compensated the minutes that I have lost as a result of disturbance by the Senator for Siaya County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was decrying the inability of the Auditor-General to perform auditing of county accounts. As we all know, as of now, he has not reached many counties. We urge him to open offices in all county headquarters and ensure that all county accounts are audited so that this Senate can have a basis of knowing which governor is working, misusing or not misusing funds. Where misappropriation of funds is found, ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I read the answer to this Statement, I could not believe that this was Prof. Kaimenyi’s signature. This is because the answers given to the issues raised here were obviously given by a person who does not even understand issues. The person says that the county government has provided three armed Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) instead of officers from the national police service. The person goes ahead to say that the county government will set up a police post. I think this answer is unsatisfactory. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point is, if you are fighting terrorism, ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the clarification that I am seeking is: Will the Government take the matter seriously to defeat terrorism or will it succumb to the threats and close down institutions? view
