• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Finally, we should not joke around with the lives of our Kenyan people. In my County of Nyamira, from shared revenue, we are sending Kshs4.8 billion and Kshs600 million from the conditional grants. Our governors must be reminded that some of these monies are debts that Kenyans will pay. If we take just simple statistics, we will be told that each Kenyan owes the Chinese Kshs11,000. When we give this money to county governments, it is not meant to go and grease their pockets. This is not pocket money for governors. This money is supposed to improve the lives of ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: An example is that in my County of Nyamira, we are giving the county government Kshs350 million from International Development Association (IDA) to assist them in the National Rural Inclusive Project. What should be the use of that money? They should use it to increase agricultural productivity and food security. However, one will be surprised that at times, Madam Speaker--- I am sorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Have I said “Madam Speaker” again. This money is supposed to improve --- view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I withdraw “Madam Speaker” and replace it with “Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.” I will not repeat it. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Yes, I am now winding up. The point I was making is that the money we get from our donors is supposed to improve many things in our counties. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In terms of agriculture, we need to see more support for farmers groups, cooperative societies and extensions officers. Counties should assist farmers to get markets using technology, so that we have improved livelihoods. I am sorry to say that counties are notorious in diverting money to other things which were not meant to be funded by conditional grants they get from the national Government. That is unfortunate. That is what we see in audited accounts of most counties. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In conclusion, I hope that the money meant to improve health, so that we increase the number of children who are fully immunized, will be utilised well by the counties. I also hope it will decrease mortality rates in our counties and increase the number of women between 18 and 49 years who use modern family planning methods. Unless counties use the money for intended purposes, all these good projections and intentions will never be achieved. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I support, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this important Motion by our good friend, Sen. Khaniri. Let me first make an observation, that this is action that is long overdue from our Government. I was once privileged to visit a hospital in Texas, the United States of America (USA), where my sister works. The hospital is dedicated to serving members who have retired from the military in USA. The world over, it is known that it is not easy to serve in the disciplined forces. Often times due to human error, you can cause deaths of so ... view
