• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to table a letter dated 15th May, 2024, signed by His Excellency Governor Amos Kimomi Nyaribo. I direct the Cabinet Secretary to look at page 34 of that document on the Project Raitigo Water The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Supply initiated in the Financial Year 2015/2016. The second column will show you the money that was budgeted and paid, which is Kshs17,301,915. The fourth column has a response from the Governor where he says that he is going to use money from Climate Change Resilience Investment Programme grant funds to complete that project. Therefore, it will be double-budgeted at the county level. There is money set aside and paid to a contractor, and again he is saying in the Financial Year 2024/2025, he is going to take money from the donor funds to put it in the same project. ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to ask Question No.050. (1) Why are there no essential road safety features, including proper markings, signage, rumble strips and speed bumps, on the Metamayua- Mechel-Jebigombe- Nyansiongo road? (2) Could the Cabinet Secretary also explain the inordinate delay in completing the construction of the Nyageta Bridge along the Metamayua-Mosovit-Kebirigo road, which was commissioned 10 years ago? (3) Could the CS explain what steps has the Ministry taken to ensure the timely resolution of the aforementioned concerns by the people of the great County of Nyamira? Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Hon. Cabinet Secretary for your response. However, you note that in your response you have said, “the outstanding works are critical for the safe usage of that particular road.” Hon. Cabinet Secretary, I want to bring to your attention that already we have lost close to 10 people along that stretch of that road. This is a matter that is very critical if we are to attain the safe usage of that road by the residents of Nyamira. Are there any urgent measures you can put in place to ensure that these remaining works are done during this ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: projects that are already ongoing before we deal with the new ones, noting that there is no one single bus stop along that road or bumps anywhere in the whole of that stretch? Secondly, on the issue of the Nyageita Bridge, you note that is a high-volume road. The bridge I am mentioning is really a makeshift. It is the road that we use to transport our tea, which is a key economic activity in the County of Nyamira. Can I get an assurance from the Cabinet Secretary that can be done within this Financial Year? That has been pending ... view
• 9 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the postponement of Kenya Tea Development Agency Director Elections in Nyamira and Kisii. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) did not conduct the elections for Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) directors as scheduled on Friday, 28th June, 2024, especially considering that the farmers had already gathered in the polling stations in readiness for the elections. (2) Provide evidence regarding whether the IEBC communicated the postponement of ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. From the onset, I stand to support the bipartisan approach that has been adopted by the Majority side and the Minority side. I want to thank Sen. Cheruiyot who is our youthful leader from the Majority side and our elder Justice retired Stewart Madzayo, who under the leadership of Sen. Wambua, has brought us together to have a discourse as Kenyans. We thank you, our dear colleagues. Secondly, I want to pass my message of condolences to the mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters of ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: World over, we know that there are people who have led peaceful protests and they have changed the world. We know that in 1964, the celebrated Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King in the United States of America (USA) led the march to Washington, that led to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act in the USA that gave Americans their civil rights. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we regret that there are about eight Kenyans who lost their lives within the precincts of Parliament. This is regrettable. It is my prayer and wish that as we move forward, we also demand for ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: social media. The major attack is on how the President has exercised power. That is the problem. If we do not acknowledge that as a House, we will not be able to solve the challenges we are facing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the feeling is that the President has not allowed Parliament - both the Senate and the National Assembly - to carry out its duties as an independent institution. Most of these unpopular legislations that triggered these demonstrations were pushed through the two Houses. There is the Affordable Housing Bill that created the now Affordable Housing Act. It was pushed ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The point I was making is that the leadership of the House is to put the interest of the country ahead of personal or party interest. We have a bloated Government. I conclude by urging my colleagues to reconsider an audit of the 2010 Constitution. We have so many constitutional commissions with people serving part-time, but doing nothing. How can a body that reviews my salary once a year be working from Monday to Friday? That you sit to review the salary of Sen. Omogeni from January to December, Monday to Friday. How can that ... view
