• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: As I speak today, that project Kanyoonyo of Kitui Rural Constituency, is almost now 50 per cent done using county funds. However, there are county governments and I see there are Senators here and I would not mention them, that have been allocated money under phase one, but they have not used half of that money. The question that we should be asking ourselves is if there are counties that seem to appreciate the importance of these industrial parks and their impact on the county economies, recruitment and employment of our youths and they have not been included in phase ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Why continue allocating monies to counties in phase one that are not moving an inch yet there are counties categorized under phase two, which have done so much and they just need the final push to complete the parks and make them operational?

• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Those Senators are here and they are looking at me. I will not mention their names. I invite them and their governors to come to Kanyoonyo in Kitui Rural Constituency to benchmark and see what needs to be done for these parks. Truth be told, if these industrial parks are properly rolled out, they will change the economies of our counties and even be sources of county own revenue. This is because of levies and taxes that will be realized from those parks. That is what I wanted to say about the CAIPS. view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the allocation is for counties categorised as phase one. I urge the decision makers on this allocation to see to it that they fast track those counties that are already doing things on the ground using their own portion of the money, so that they can get the balance and complete these projects. For example, Kitui County should be the first under that consideration. ` Having said many good things about the County Government of Kitui and the Governor, I must also remind him because it is important that I do so. This information that I am ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would ask my Governor, hon. Malombe, to communicate better and to be more accessible, especially to the Senator. When I seek to speak to the governor, I do not want anything personal. It is just about us working and making sure that things move in the right direction for the benefit of the people that we represent. I know I am as passionate about Kitui County as you are about Meru County. You said that when you begin doing these things, you make sure that things happen and I know what you mean. The next ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: months. It is not even pay, because how do you call Kshs2,500 a pay? They have not earned their little stipend. Can I appeal to the wisdom of this House and that of the committee, led by the very able Senator from Mandera County, to engage with their counterparts in the National Assembly and the National Treasury and see what we can do to compensate and facilitate CHPs better? If we can facilitate CHPs better and in good time, then a lot of the common ailments that we struggle with will be a thing of the past. They help the ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We will not stop there. There is an adjustment that was done last year, in July, on the fuel levy, from Kshs18 to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Kshs25. Now the Cabinet Secretary in charge of roads in the national Government wants to use the entire Kshs7 per litre of fuel to pay pending bills, totalling to Kshs175 billion, without consideration of the roads in the counties. We are saying that a percentage of that Kshs7 per litre must go to counties for the maintenance of county roads. I want to urge my colleagues that when it comes to matters of devolution, that is why we are said to be champions and defenders of it. The best way of killing devolution is to deny county governments money to ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, because we are just consulting, perhaps to just improve on what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said, I do not bring Members here and they do not get the opportunity to express themselves on this matter, which is important. Why not amend what Sen. Cheruiyot said that we give three minutes and then reduce the numbers from both sides to maybe five, and if you have spoken on the first Motion, then The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: you do not speak on the second one, the third one, and we just limit ourselves to the counties in the Motion? view
