• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: , and we welcome you any other tine in futures as we look forward to fruitful engagement between the Senate and the MCAs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. I rise to affirm my full support for this Bill, which is more than timely. The Constitution that we passed in 2010 recognizes the supremacy of the people in determining how resources are supposed to be utilized in terms of development in the counties, constituencies and in our wards. For some of us who, under Article 95, are supposed to be in the forefront protecting the interests of the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I amend. With those many remarks, I thank you. view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to make my contribution in support of this Bill. First, I begin by saying that in the past, this country has had very many disasters. What has come to the fore is that we do not have an organised mechanism of responding effectively and adequately to disasters. So, first and foremost, this is a very timely Bill and I hope that once it is enacted, it will go a long way in mitigating the way we deal with disaster management. However, I have a few observations on the Bill as drafted. I ... view
• 5 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.46 (2) (a) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern regarding anti- malaria drugs stock-outs in the country. Our nation’s greatness and prosperity depends on a healthy and vigorous population, more so, residing in our counties. In the last 15 years, the Kenyan Government has made great strides in preventing and controlling Malaria. However, this progress has not been uniform as some parts of the country, particularly my county of Nyamira and the counties of Kisii, Bomet, Nandi and Trans-Nzoia are still plagued by serious ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contributions to this very important Bill; the Kenya Roads Bill, 2017. I must begin by registering my disappointment because this Bill is meant to kill the dream of devolution. It is regrettable that we are sitting here, as a Senate, exercising our Constitutional mandate under Article 95 of this Constitution, which is to defend devolution, to debate a Bill that wants to only allocate 16 per cent of revenue to our counties. This is the saddest day ever since we passed our Constitution in 2010. ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen that there is a provision in Section 7 to have representation in the Board from the Inter-Governmental Relations Authority (IGRA). The people who know the state of our roads in this country is none other the governors themselves. If you read this Bill, there is a provision for agreements between the county governments and these authorities on constructions of roads in counties. Therefore, the right people to sit in any of these Boards should be the Council of Governors (CoG) and not the IGRA. This is because the governors are the ones who are ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues by going on record for supporting this historical Motion. We may take it for granted that the Senate is debating a Motion to hold sittings in one of our county headquarters. However, we have had Independence for over 50 years. However, the people of this country have never been privileged to see Members of either the Senate or the National Assembly sitting in the county headquarters. So, we must pride ourselves. I have stood to be on record that I was privileged to sit in the Senate that made ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join my colleagues in registering my condolences to the family of the late Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello, and to the people of Migori County. I was privileged to have served in the Committee on Health together with Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello. One of his last duties as a Senator was when he The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 14 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I thank the people behind the thought of coming up with the Office of the County Attorney Bill (Senate Bills No. 3 of 2018). I also thank the Committee for the considerations they have had on this very important Bill. I also acknowledge that the coming up of this Bill is a step towards full realisation of devolution. This is because, when we passed the Constitution of 2010, our intention was to have two governments in one country. Since the national Government has the Office of the Attorney-General that advises the Executive, it is ... view
