I think everybody is wasting my time. Therefore, we can all say everything about Mr. ole Lenku and Mr. Kimaiyo but in my view, they have failed to offer leadership in the positions they have. Therefore, I stand on the side of the people who have said the President was given the mandate and the President has the powers. I think time has come for Mr. Kimaiyo and Mr. ole Lenku to vacate their positions and let us give it to somebody else who can move this country and bring security and sanity to this country. When we took our ...

cast our eyes back, the great nation of the United States of America (USA) tried it in Somalia and they failed. Time has come where we need to say let us leave Somalia to Somalians. Let us move our boys out of Somalia. If you can ask me, put them on the border of our country and Somalia because the way we are going, it is us who are suffering. We are trying to put a country in some shape in the name of Somalia, but they do not appreciate it. If you come to my place and you are ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to begin by saying yes, I support this Bill. The Bill is anchored, in my view, in three very important areas. One, this Bill is going in a very long way to find impunity that has bedeviled our Public Service for a very long time. Two, the Bill is going to bring sanity in the Public Service. Three, which is very important and must be emphasized, is that the Bill tells us that even as politicians, we are actually servants of the people. We are not the masters. It is the ...

Some of the things that we see out there being practised by some of our civil servants are not good. For example, about a week or so ago, officers from the Ministry of Agriculture visited Moi’s Bridge where right now, maize farmers are having a lot of problems. They are crying that the prices of maize have really dropped. Maize farmers are going through a lot of agony. The officers visited the area and with a lot of impunity told our farmers that if Ugandans can bring maize to Kenya, why can we also not get markets in Uganda. I ...

I know this Bill will eventually end up in the Senate and I would like to ask the Senators to bring a Bill that will address some issues in the counties. As much as we embrace devolution in this country, the devolved funds from the Central Government to the counties tend to be concentrated in the county headquarters. The Senate should introduce a provision in this Bill to compel the county governments to ensure that funds are used prudently and we get value for money. I would like to ask the Senate to compel the county governments to ensure that ...
