• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: I do not know at what point you lost the Senator of Kitui County. Somebody should do something about my time because I have to retract a bit. I was saying the person that is responsible for the death of the national school feeding program did a very great disservice to us as a nation and to our children. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the second thing that we must worry about and do something about is the Kenya School Equipment Scheme. These two programs, one of the most important things that they made sure happened is that the parents would just worry about preparing their children to go to school. Once they get to school, they would get food, rulers, pencils and exercise books. Children would concentrate on learning. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: This proposed amendment comes with it a major multiplier effect. Apart from just providing milk to our children, it boosts the local farmers in our regions who produce milk. It creates jobs for truck drivers who deliver the milk to the schools. It provides a ready market for the motor vehicles which are used to deliver that milk. It creates a ready market for fuel and oil products for the vehicle. It is a stimulus program in itself. view
• 22 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate Sen. Kwamboka. Although in the Second Schedule of our Constitution, pre-primary education is a function of county governments, here is one case where the national Government must be fully involved in setting the standards and a policy framework to roll out this program. I support. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I will speak to two issues. One, the attempt by Sen. Farhiya to give an excuse as to why the committees did not visit. We have said this many times – a time has come that the Speaker must defend the dignity of that Chair, that, once an order is given by the Speaker, then that is it. It is only the Speaker who can vacate his own orders. It cannot be that the Speaker has given an order for a committee to undertake certain functions but Members of the committee decide not to and come to ... view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Secondly, Madam Deputy Speaker, is the issue of the visit to Vihiga. This House of Parliament can never act for the convenience of any other institution in this country. It cannot be that the two committees should wait for the governor to get ready to clean his house before they go to visit and see what has been happening. The orders of the Speaker must be followed all the time by everyone. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I thank you for making the cut. In the interest of time, I will be very brief. Even as we blame the County Executive of Vihiga, I wonder what the County Assembly of Vihiga was doing to pass a budget without questioning due process. These county assemblies at times behave funny. They should not just pass the budget for the sake of it. They should enquire into it and look into the process by scrutinizing the budget. Here is a situation where due process was not followed yet the Vihiga County Assembly passed the budget. How ... view
• 15 Jul 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
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: the executive? Where does that happen? If we begin to make accountability personal, then people will learn to encounter fewer mistakes. The CECM for Finance and Economic Planning of Vihiga County must be held to account for what he did and the misfortunes that he is occasioning the people of Vihiga County. I agree with Sen. Wetangula that extraordinary situations call for extraordinary measures. The other day, the President of the Republic of Kenya went out to officially open several hospitals because we are dealing with an extraordinary situation. The matter in question is now before a court of law. ... view
