• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, when matters like this come to the Floor of the Senate, this is one instance where Senators are called upon to show and demonstrate leadership. There are going to be issues arising from this list. There will be people we lead who will feel that in their own estimation, they are marginalized and should have benefitted and yet they have not been listed to benefit. There will be other people who will be feeling they have been earmarked to benefit from the fund, but we believe we could have gotten a little more. It has been more ... view
• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and hon. Members, it only sounds good in this Senate when we fight for money to go to our counties. However, things turn south when we start asking questions as to how these monies get used. It is now almost 6.30 p.m. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Tobiko are seated here. Sen. Wambua is on the Floor and we are trying to fight for money to go to the counties and the governors are happy wherever they are. view
• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale thinks they are taking whisky. However, some of them do not take whisky, but they are taking what they take.

It is my hope and prayer that we will take the shortest time possible to process, pass this Bill and get the funds to help our people and develop this country equitably. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I support. view
• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me maybe for the first time congratulate Sen. Cherarkey for coming up with that kind of Statement. When this Statement is finally assigned to a Committee, I would request that Committee to help this country make a determination, between the endeavors made by this Government to attract foreign direct investment and the duty of care that this Government must also exercise to protect local businesses and industries. That is so that we do not end up confusing ourselves and the people who want to do business with us. When it is right for ... view

• 18 Apr 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you. I have been in this House long enough to know how to cite Standing Orders. I stand on the strength of Standing Order No.105, on ‘responsibility for statement of facts.’ We should not allow the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet, a man I have a lot of respect for to mislead his people and this nation, that what we are trying to do here is to compel the National Treasury to give more money than they can give. The debate here is out of the amount of money collected by the national Government, putting together all ... view
• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget regarding the status of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collections over the last six months. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the amount of revenue collected by KRA for the period between October 2022 to March 2023. (2) Outline how much of this revenue the Government has paid out in terms of debts, both internal and external during the said period. (3) Explain the immediate plans the Government has put in place, if any, to cushion ... view
