• 11 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill and congratulate members of the Finance and Budget Committee, for coming up with this Bill that will guide the allocation of money to our counties in the Financial Year 2022/2023. The main purpose of this money - and I am making this statement to appeal to our brothers and sisters who are managing counties -is to assist counties to provide the services to the people through development project and provision of services. As Sen. M. Kajwang’ has ably put it, this money is turning out to be like pocket money ... view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: the people on the ground especially on provision of services. If you compare teaching where we have teachers paid by the national Government in primary and secondary schools and teachers paid by county Governments for Early Childhood Education (ECD), the ones paid by county governments at the ECD level are the most miserable. They do not have good conditions of service. Most of them are serving on contract; not on permanent and pensionable terms. They do not have the medicare and those whose contracts come to an end are never paid their gratuity. It is sad and very unfortunate. We ... view

• 11 May 2022 in Senate: Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) should be on the lookout. We want to see action being taken from EACC and from DCI on governors who are engaged in malpractices, corruption, diversion of money that is meant to cover development projects but is diverted for campaigns, As I conclude, we passed this Third Allocation Formula under very stressful circumstances. If there is a time I have spent in this House that was most agonising, it is when we debated this Third Revenue Allocation Formula. That was the time I was crying that my friend from Homabay, ... view
• 28 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make my contribution in support of The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Amendment (Amendment) Bill, 2021. This Bill is very important. Before the introduction of this law in 2003 or thereabout, it was not easy to get opportunities, unless you had connections at the highest level of public entities. I remember before the introduction of this law, in the legal profession, we used to have lawyers who were perceived to be highly connected. Doing legal work in the parastatals was a preserve of a few law firms. However, this ... view
• 28 Apr 2022 in Senate: vulnerable groups, so that they get opportunities to also do business with the Government and see the fruits of devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenyans will always find ways of going around things. Even when we have such a progressive law, you will still find there is away that they try to beat the system. I have heard stories from my colleagues in the legal profession who respond to invitations from public entities, including county governments. For example, they may require a tender to be included in the panel of law firms that should provide services to our county governments, but ... view
• 28 Apr 2022 in Senate: However, they are never given these opportunities. We may need to dig deeper into this law and see how it can be fully implemented and respected by many of our public entities. Mr. Speaker Sir, I do not know why you cannot be sensitive to, for example, PWDs. These are people who are under privileged in society in terms of their ability to do what some of us who have no disabilities can do. We need to be sensitive to them, uphold and support them. If we do that, then they will appreciate that we acknowledge that as a sector ... view
