• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Why is the County Commissioner a chairperson? This is unacceptable. In fact, this should be our window as Senators to be more relevant and participatory in project implementation at the county level. Instead of bringing these officers, the NG-CDF manager, the chairperson of the NG-CDF, we have members of staff who sit in our offices at the county. They can be the nominees to sit at the administrative structure of this fund at the county level. You remember we tried to amend the Roads Fund Regulations. We discussed it on this Floor as Senators and we said there was some ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a point of order should be relevant to what I am saying. I am just expressing my opinion and it is allowed. I cannot say much because Sen. Halake is a good friend of mine. I will leave it there. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: I plead with Senators not to allow the Equalization Fund to be converted into an extra work for Members of the National Assembly who are supposed to run view
• 29 Sep 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
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: constituencies. You cannot allow people who are running constituencies to start running counties. How? That cannot happen. I am happy that I have brought Sen. Halake on board and she is with me on this. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, anybody who is a Senator loves devolution. We have sub-county administrators who are employed by county governments to be in charge of our wards at the county level. If you read Article 6 of the Constitution, we have two levels of Government. That is the national Government and county governments. When you go to the sub-county level, we need to agree ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I gear towards my conclusion, I am a bit worried with the way that we are moving with this Equalization Fund. We started with 14 counties. When you read through, you can never have a quarrel. I know the way life is difficult in Turkana and Mandera. I know the distance between one health facility and another. I know the difficulties that the people of Wajir are facing in terms of roads. If am not wrong, the first time a tarmac road hit Wajir was four years ago, and that is one stretch of road ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to fortify what my learned colleague, Sen. Murkomen, has submitted before you this afternoon. About three years ago, this country enacted a law, the Computer and Cyber Crimes Act that was specifically meant to deal with these kinds of offences. The point being made by Sen. Murkomen is that there is a criminal somewhere who is the author of the video that has been circulating. Unless the police officers are able to trace and track down that particular person, somebody else will do it tomorrow. You can reprimand the media houses but what about ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know the country is watching and the people of Nyamira County are watching. Being a senior counsel is not a small thing. The Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Sen. Murkomen, keeps referring to my party leader. If you read our Constitution, we have the Head of State who is the President and a Deputy President who is the principal assistant of the President. If there are any transgressions being conducted by the Government of the day, Sen. Murkomen should be telling us what his close friend, the Deputy President, is doing to ensure the human rights ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Sakaja is raising a very critical issue that is affecting many traders. What we need to note is that when we are applying these discriminatory taxes among the five East African States, we are giving competitive advantage to our competitors. Just the other day I watched Ugandans take gold in the 3,000 metres steeplechase which traditionally has been a Kenyan race. Maybe it is because Ugandans are giving so many incentives to their athletes while we are stifling our Kenyans; taxing them to the level that they are not even inspired. When you look ... view
