• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Cherarkey comes. This Report has made a recommendation that this amount that is paid to the elderly people be reviewed upwards to a sum of Kshs5,000. The issue of functions has been a big problem. Those of us who were here in the last term know the problem we have had on transfer of functions to counties. This Report makes recommendation that there should be a comprehensive review of all devolved functions that have not been transferred to counties and that those functions once transferred, should be followed with resources. That is an attempt to strengthen devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To enhance farming, we have proposed that the Government should set aside money to ensure that we incorporate water harvesting technologies in our counties. This way, we can store rainwater that can be used in agriculture as it happens in many countries. The issue of impeachment of governors has been of great concern to us all. We have made recommendations that Section 33 of the County Governments Act should go through a review so that we have a comprehensive law that deals with issues of impeachment of governors. Senators, I hope we can learn from ... view

• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On this issue of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC, you know that the interview panel has been in place for the last six months, yet they have never completed the work they were meant to do; that is, to advertise for the position of IEBC commissioners, shortlist, interview and send names to the President.

• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: In total, the proposals that are contained in this Report are very useful to this country. I echo the words of my colleague, Sen. Cheruiyot, that we should have a bipartisan approach. We should not fear the initiative to amend the Constitution. If there is anything that requires us to go to a referendum, let us do so. If these amendments can be dealt with by us, as parliamentarians on the Floor of the House, let us come together and deal with the amendments without creating unnecessary heat in the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge our colleagues to embrace ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition. A petition under Article 119 of the Constitution is one way we connect with the people. A Kenyan presenting a Petition directly to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya demonstrates the kind of faith Kenyans have in this House. When we get a Petition from diligent Kenyans like Mr. Peter Kang’waru Nyaga and his 24 colleagues, we should take it seriously. It demonstrates that these Kenyans have faith that once they Petition this House, we will do something. Once they listen to Sen. Munyi Mundigi ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: bank, borrow money to educate their children or present security to borrow money to do business. It is a shame. Therefore, I hope the Committee that is going to inquire into this matter, should take it seriously. In fact, we should summon even the Kenya National Human Rights Commission (KNHRC), to come and tell us what they have done to ensure that the land rights of these Kenyans are respected. Honestly, what we should be discussing as a nation, 60 years after Independence, is how Kenyanss can make good use of their title deeds. We should not be having a ... view
