• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am using the Dispatch because I want to see my brother and how the transition is shaping up. I can see he is doing well. My question is general on the whole issue of the e-Citizen platform. I come from Kitui County which has very huge areas that have zero mobile network connectivity. The people that live in those areas are Kenyans that need Government services, some of which have to be paid for. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: . Cabinet Secretary, now, we have a situation where there are people, not just in Kitui County, but in other parts of this country, that desire and deserve to access Government services. For mistakes not of their own making, they are unable to access the services because of zero mobile network connectivity. I see what the Government is trying to do and it is a noble thing, but a bit absurd because we are trying to run before we can walk. Should the beginning then be ensuring mobile network connectivity in every part of this country, so that people can ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very interesting that Sen. (Dr.) Oburu has asked the question that I wanted to ask, but I will twist it a bit. Basically, what has happened then is that the Chinese have given us a concessionary loan to pay their people, and you can take care of your people whichever way you take care of them. Going specifically to that Kshs36 billion that you have gotten from China to revive the construction of 15 roads, as you said; I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary to check with these people whether the Kibwezi-Mutomo-Kitui-Migwani-Bodoni ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me confirm from the desk that I have about 20 minutes. Is that right? view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: I rise to make a few comments on the report of the Joint Sittings of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning of the National Assembly and the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget of the Senate on the approval hearing for Mr. David Kibet Kemei for the position of DG of the CAK. The CAK is a very important body for any developing country, whose economy is under transition and want to ensure fair play in the marketplace. It is for that reason in the wisdom of Parliament that the Competition Act was passed. Cap 504 of the ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: The protection of farmers, consumers and business people fall under the purview of the CAK. It is, therefore, the expectation of all players in the marketplace that the character of the DG of CAK must be in a position to ensure that there is fair play. He should protect us and the business community from middlemen, barons, or businesses that take advantage of their privileged positions in the market to exploit and push other players out of the market. I am looking at a situation where the DG of the CAK will be expected to ensure that we do not ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: The third issue I have with this recommendation by the Committee is that there is absolutely no formula for people to write their Curriculum Vitaes (CVs). People can do their CVs the way they want. However, there are some common denominators in every CV. Top on that list would be the full names of the person. Secondly, without a doubt, would be the year of birth. You know, Enock Kiio Wambua, born 31st October, 1972. When you look at the CV that Mr. Kemei gave to the Joint Committee, you will realize that --- view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take note of the changeover. The detail of the name is there and then he jumped straight to his profession and says that he has 31 years of experience. I have scanned through that CV and there is nowhere that Mr. Kemei indicates the year of birth. I have said on the Floor of this House many times and I repeat it; I am a good and a long-standing journalist. One of the characteristics of a good journalist is to have the capacity to identify the story that is not being told. Before I take ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: It would be unfair to place Mr. Kemei among a certain community in this country. He is supposed to be a person who should reach out and serve with anyone and with everyone. When I looked at the CV, I was grossly disappointed. I always say, and I will repeat it, the devil is in the detail. When you look at the referees and the references Mr. Kemei gives, you wonder, surely, what is this? His first reference is Mr. Simon Chelugui. The second reference is Ms. Farida Karonei and the third reference is Kipkorir Bett. A world citizen seeking ... view
• 25 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir, my question relates to the operations of Huduma centres. I would like to know from the Cabinet Secretary whether there is a common service charter for all Huduma Centres across the country, or we have different service charters for different Huduma Centres. Is it not a requirement that all essential Government services are available in all Huduma Centres? I have heard the Cabinet Secretary say he is appealing to Government departments to second staff to all Huduma centres. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, sir. view
