• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to congratulate Sen. Murkomen. I have known him for the last 11 years from the days of URP. Number two, I actually served with him in the last Senate where I deputized him. Sen. Murkomen is a very kind leader, respectful, social and encouraging. If I stand here and praise him, I might take some hours. We are really happy that he is going to join the other side of the Government. I have even travelled all the way to Elgeyo-Marakwet County with him to address the County Assembly at one time. view
• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: 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
• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: The sky is the limit. You are young. I am sure you are one of the youngest CSs that have been appointed. You understand the challenges of this House and have been passionate about devolution. As for Isiolo County, we have only one tarmac road that has not been finished for the last six years. It is the Isiolo, Kinna-Garbatula Road. I hope you will help us to finish that road. We will come and discuss. I hope you will serve us as this House in a non-partisan way to make sure that we are really proud of you as ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. As you have said, I should have contributed the first day, but because of the demand, it was impossible. I will contribute to the President’s Address. This is my first time in the opposition party. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Sometimes, it is good to be in the opposition party. I have been on the other side of the aisle where you end up defending the undefendable. However, being in the opposition is something I am enjoying. We are being told that Kenya has matured democratically, which I doubt. This is because Kenyan politics is based on tribe, clan, ethnicity, money, the rich and the poor. Therefore, we are far from being democratic. The only time I will say we are happy and matured democratically is when we do not have contestation. Over the years, we have had contestation in ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I will be fast and brief in my contribution. I have heard Sen. Cherarkey on CASs. It is good that he has confirmed we have turned away CASs in our previous meetings. In my statement, I have said there is a possibility of sending a CAS to this House. This is what we will disallow. Therefore, there is nothing out of order. When he quotes Article 153 of the Constitution, it is clear that CSs will appear before the Committee of the Whole or Standing Committees. The only thing we will challenge is having CSs ... view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Even in the national Government issues of the Managed Equipment Service (MES) started with PPP. When they realized that it was not going to work, they dropped it and went to contracts and agreements. If we are not going to be careful of how we are handling or come up with another strategy PPPs will be a source of corruption. I hope Kenyans are fully aware of what is happening and will happen to PPPs if we do not have proper structures in place. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Counties do not have the capacity to run PPPs. Unfortunately, most of them start and drop it along the way. If we are not careful, Kenyans are not going to get value for their money. It is also a source of corruption. If Kenya Kwanza is ready to deal with corruption, we have no problem to deal with PPPs. I do not know where they are going to get money to run it because they are crying that there is no money in the country. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: The other issue is on the ‘Hustlers’ Fund. After election every leader comes on board and introduces a fund. We have the Youth Fund, which has not benefited Kenyan youths. It is actually failing today. Many of the youths are jobless, dropped out of school and we do not know what the Youth Fund is doing in this country. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: We have also seen the Women Fund, yet majority of our mothers are hustling in the market and everywhere else. It is good to define what the term ‘hustlers’ means in this country. I hope it is not about rewarding those who have politically supported certain quarters. Eighty per cent of people in this country are ‘hustlers.’ We want to see how this fund is going to be introduced and how it is going to help, mama mboga, boda boda operators, jua kali artisans and everybody else. view
