• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator for Nandi County cannot get away with this. The Senator for Kitui County strongly believes in women leadership. However, the Senator for Kitui County is also very keen on fighting corruption wherever it rears its ugly head. Whether that corruption is being perpetuated by a female or male leader, I make no distinction. It must be on record that the Senator for Kitui County is a firm believer in women leadership and more so, a firmer believer in integrity in leadership. I thank you. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I want to congratulate and thank the Senator for Narok County for coming up with this Bill. You know that for a long time, the battle between the Senate and county governors on issues of accountability and oversight has been really entrenched. This Bill seeks to address those issues of accountability, oversight and proper participation of the masses in the budget making process. It demands accountability on the part of the governors on the usage of the monies that we send to the counties. I beg to second. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add my comments on this Petition read on behalf of 15 petitioners by the Senator for Migori. I will only say three things. Firstly, a government is known and respected by the kind of attention that it focusses on the less fortunate members of the society and in this case, how the County Government of Migori treats people living with disabilities, speaks volumes about the care that that Government extends to everybody in that county. Madam Temporary Speaker, this matter is not just about Migori County but it touches on ... view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a time has come when county governments must be held to account on matters of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) for two reasons. One, the job opportunities available to PWDs in county governments across the country are few. Most of the county governments take their PWDs as a burden and not people who should be facilitated to undertake certain roles in the development of their counties. Many of the buildings that are put up by county Governments are not compliant to the needs of the PWDs. That is something that we need to take up seriously. view
• 21 Oct 2021 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
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Two, it is not just county governments that are not appreciating the PWDs. The political parties are guilty too. You will realize that in the structure of nominations of political parties, there is a slot that should go to PWDs. However, the persons who are nominated to serve in the county assemblies to fill the slots that are set aside for PWDs, are able bodied people. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: I thank the Senator for Migori County for bringing this petition. I hope that the Committee that will handle this matter will do justice to it. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I had concluded but since I have the Floor, I call for an audit. Sen. Were has provided results of an audit that has not been undertaken. To the credit of what I said, Sen. Were can only speak about the Amani National Congress (ANC) while the rest of us speak for our own parties. Without mentioning parties, I have come across nominations of able bodied persons to the slots of PWDs; that person may just have a twisted finger. Getting a certificate is just that. Such people go to process certificates for PWDs in order to ... view
