• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: On the other hand, a public toilet has been allocated Kshs8.5 million. Just imagine! That is what our MCAs are doing. A sum of Kshs8.5 million to build a toilet and Kshs1.5 million to improve infrastructure in a hospital. It is sad. I wish that money can be put in buying equipment like x-ray machines in our hospitals. If you ask people who have homes, Kshs8.5 million is a fully fledged house. We must continue to be the champions of devolution. Once this law is passed, the beauty is that counties will now be forced to ensure they budget money ... view
• 15 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you. Madam Deputy Speaker, I sat in the Mediation Committee that looked into the ECD Bill and we had a long debate on this. Eventually, we said TSC is the best body that can be entrusted with looking at standards of anybody who is providing training on education matters. The PSC does not have the proper expertise, even the capacity, as I am being informed by my neighbour here. I hope the Committee will reconsider that matter. The other thing I wanted to say is that I wish our youth could go to the interviews and look at the ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill that has been sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I do not want Kenyans to think that any time I speak I only want to give many praises to Sen. (Dr.) Zani, but it is because of the good work that she is doing in this House. Who would have thought that we need to propose an amendment to this Act to protect our national anthem? People would be thinking about other things and forgetting about such a very critical aspect that has been brought to the ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: we make contributions, often times, we want to acknowledge the good work that is being done by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. We compliment you Senator and we hope that you will continue doing this good work. Going back to the Bill that is before this House, for those of us who are practitioners, any time you place a limit on a legislation, you will find that some people can be very mischievous A good example are people who said that our leases should have a time limit of 99 years. Exactly about 10 years ago when these leases were expiring, there ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: can fly the national flag at the national Government why are we denying this privilege to the people who are heading county governments? It is a law that I did not agree with. It is not that if you fly the national flag it should make you to feel that you are more important than other Kenyans, but it is that identity that it gives you as a Kenyan that you are there to serve Kenyans. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said that the fact that you fly our national, the fact that it is pinned to your car does ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. First, I congratulate Sen. Halake, who has been very consistent on raising issues of concern to the people who reside in Isiolo County. I also condole with the families of the many people who have been victims of these senseless killings. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: It is high time the Inspector-General (IG) of Police is taken to task over these killings. If you follow the recruitment of police officers for the last three or so years, we have recruited over 15,000 police officers. The question that begs is why we have not 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
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: seen improvement on the security situation in these vulnerable counties of Isiolo, Wajir and Mandera. There must be a problem with the office of the IG of Police. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Secondly, what is our priority as a country? If you drive from here to Nyamira County, we used to get three policemen manning a roadblock. That was before we saw these massive recruitments. Now, you find a crown of 10 to 15 police officers manning a road block and the motivation and incentive is to collect bribes from motorists. This is happening while people residing in Isiolo, Wajir and Mandera are being killed. This should not be allowed to continue. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations was here. We need to summon the IG of Police to appear before this House and tell us what measures he has put in place to stop these senseless killings. We cannot year in, year out continue to be told that people are dying in North Eastern Kenya from bandit attacks. Over 50 years of Independence and people can never settle down and go about their economic activities. It is not right. We must urge the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, ... view
