• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: To the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County, yes, it is true that it is a county that has produced runners and champions. However, there is also some little shame that is creeping into that county. We are being treated to news of bandits taking over the county, including going to take one of their own from a hospital bed. That is not a very good story. To the people of Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has reminded us that the Assembly has operated without the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) for ten years. It is a shame but I ... view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two things to say. First, as I join my colleagues to congratulate the chairpersons of committees, I also want to challenge them through their chairperson of the Senate Liaison Committee and SBC to look for a more innovative way of delivering these reports. Otherwise, just reading reports here may become a little bit boring. There must be an innovative way of delivering the same content but in a manner that does not take a lot of our time but at the same time, we are able to measure what Chairpersons are doing. view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has indicated in his Report that on 25th of this month, which is next week, he will be meeting the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury and Planning to look into the matter of the one-off payment to former councillors. view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to have your ear. Wakili may also benefit from this. On the issue of former councillors, can you use the authority of your Chair to give a final direction on this matter? For the past three years, we have been having conversations about former councillors and their payments. I know that in every county represented in this Senate, there are former councillors who are in dire need of just Kshs200,000. view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Can you direct the Committee that this time around, the CS should come with a final report on a date when the former councillors will be paid, so that we finish this business and get into other businesses? view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make a contribution to this wonderful proposed piece of legislation by Sen. Mungatana, MGH. From the onset, I want to say that I fully support it. Human dignity is an integral part of life and living. If you deprive people of their dignity, then to a great extent, those people are deprived of a critical part of their lives. I want to go straight to just three or four aspects of the proposed Bill; the Bill that we are debating in the Second Reading. I take note of part one of ... view
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: I have heard many times the Deputy President making reference to people and how they voted and how access to national resources should be prioritized. When this proposed Bill becomes an Act of Parliament and the law, I want to see what will happen to leaders who think that they can deny Kenyans access to resources simply because they think Kenyans did not vote in a way that they wanted them to vote. Secondly, the rights as espoused in Article 43 of our Constitution, Kenyans in every corner of this country have a right to access the highest attainable standards ... view
• 12 Apr 2023 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
• 12 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mungatana, MGH, that he has brought an enabling legislation so that now Kenyans can access and test the veracity of Article 43 of the Constitution. We can say it is the right of every Kenyan in every part of this country to have access to health, education, good road networks and water. You know there is one thing that we must also disabuse ourselves and disabuse this nation of. Governments do not give rights to citizens. The rights of the citizens are enshrined in the Constitution and enabling legislation. With the passage of this law, I believe Kenya will be ... view
