• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Three, the matter of allegation against the Governor that was brought on the Floor of this House is the matter this House has been grappling with over the years; issues of pending bills. We have said severally that corruption is hidden under pending bills. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me now turn to the issues of wage bill. There are matters that have been brought severally in the Auditor-General’s Report. This House has discussed these matters severally. When the Government has set a ceiling of 35 per cent, some counties are at 59 per cent. Let me urge those who are ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Finally, something that I will not forgive Governor Waititu for is the disposition of a property of a widow in that County. I fully support this Motion and this should send a signal to all the governors because we cannot let this go. We cannot be talking about these things in this House and when governors appear before us, we say this is politics; we forget about our responsibility. Thank you. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Petition. As my colleagues have said, conservation of forests is important. However, the protection of the rights of citizens that live within the forest is also equally important. Over the years, I have seen people being evicted from forests, especially people like the Ogieks, Sebeis and Ndorobos.

• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: The challenge we face today, as a country, is lack of proper planning. Individuals are evicted from places where they have lived for many years. When I served at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR), some of the communities were evicted from those lands after they had put up public utilities in place, such schools and hospitals. That is clearly because we do not plan for those facilities in time; neither do we advise members of the public before they occupy such areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is high time that we should stop evicting people after they ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: I would request the relevant Committee of the House which is going to handle this matter to clearly come up with a solution to the challenges we are facing, in terms of eviction in the places that some Kenyans have occupied; and also the manner in which the evictions are carried out in this country. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support this Motion. From the onset, let me take this opportunity to join my colleagues in congratulating the current Acting Cabinet Secretary for Finance because this is the route that the rest of the Cabinet Secretaries who were before him should have taken to save this country from the debts that we are facing. I attended yesterday’s hearing of the governors appearing before the Committee on Finance and Budget regarding this issue of pending bills. There was an accusation by the governors that the Auditor-General’s reports in terms of pending bills are ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Auditor-General. They should be held accountable in terms of what they are doing within their counties. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we have to be realistic because pending bills has been a conduit of corruption in this country and we must put a stop to it. You will realise that pending bills are rising from one level to another because we cannot be having these figures roll year in year out. When payments are made, there are vouchers, commitments and budgets but we do not understand why these figures keep on changing. Secondly, I agree with the Committee that we should not stop the budget in totality. However, I think we need to come up with ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I would request the Committee that all governors should be able to commit themselves and the Committee should hold them accountable in terms of ensuring that those bills are paid as they requested. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will find that Kenyans are suffering as a result of these pending bills; some of them SMES. Some of them are owed over Kshs1 million. It means that those who are owed over millions are paid and the rest who are owed amounts like Kshs200,000 or Kshs300,000 are not paid, which is unfair. Finally, you will find that those who are politically ... view
