Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My questions are: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary indicate the number of schools that are connected to electricity and water in Isiolo County, and outline steps the Government has taken to ensure that the remaining schools are connected? (ii) What plans does the Government have to also address the security risk posed by the lack of fences along school borders to students and staff? (iii) Could the Cabinet Secretary state plans by the Government to improve school infrastructure in Isiolo County, specifically in Mogore Primary School in Sericho Ward, where Grade 6 pupils are ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have many questions and I also need to interrogate the response. If you do not mind, I will do it once.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, this is a weighty matter. I will go very fast. Two minutes will be enough for me if you will allow. They are all related.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I am disappointed with the response given by the Cabinet Secretary. I had expected he would give me the list of the schools that are connected to electricity and the ones that are not, but the response is general. It only gives the number of schools. It will be easier for me and the public to see which schools do not have electricity and water. Number two, it is unfair for the Ministry to tell us that National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) will be provided or county governments will provide water when I ...

What strategies are in place to ensure that capitation allocation has been properly used? If it is properly used, that money will help our children. I would expect the Cabinet Secretary to show us what NG-CDF and the national Government have done. On the fences, there are so many drugs in our counties. Without a fence, the display issues will be affected. The issues of drugs will also affect our children. What is the Ministry doing about it? Thank you.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this report, although with a very heavy heart. I am saying this because of what I see in my county and many others in the committees that I sit on. We sit here every year and fight for counties to get budget allocation. I have been in this House and this is my third term. Some Senators in this House have even sacrificed their lives in the last Senate. They have been threatened by the Government and arrested The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ...

simply because of supporting a certain position as far as the Third Generation Formula is concerned. According to what I see in my county, it is like Kenyans do not know the role of Senators. When you carry out your oversight role, people ask what you have put on the table as far as development is concerned and why you have not given them bursaries, yet we sit in this House and fight with the national Government, the National Assembly, and the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to make sure that counties get budget allocation. The Senate needs to do ...

correct individuals, but the roads are not done. In their reports, they will say that they have done “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” roads, but when you go to the ground, those roads are not there. What is the role of the Auditor-General and other institutions? Those are questions we need to ask ourselves. I mean this is 21st Century, but we keep on crying that this or that is not happening. Moving to the issue of water, a lot of money is allocated, but you will find that in some areas such as where I come from, our mothers ...

Governors (COG) and County Assemblies Forum (CAF), where counties are losing a lot of money. We also have projects that have stalled, but nobody is holding those governors accountable. Some of the national government projects have also stalled. Sometimes nobody even knows what is happening with those projects. We must put our act together. The Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) is a responsibility of county governments. This afternoon, a teacher from Isiolo County has called and told me that their pay slip indicates that they are clerical officers, yet they are teachers. The title they are given by the county ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question first goes to the Counsel on the side of the Deputy President, on attack on the national security. The National Intelligence Service is a critical organ of a Government. The attack by the Deputy President is serious. I have seen the video being played that what the current President said when he was the Deputy President is equal. I also heard the Deputy President saying, “I have learned from my boss”. Does that answer the question of gross misconduct on the part of attack on the security? Secondly, on the issue of disinheriting ...
