• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report. I request Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to second. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the debate on the Bill be adjourned pursuant to Standing Order 105 to allow for an urgent Motion, which is Order No. 18. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support this Motion. I thank the Senator for Kirinyaga, Sen. Kibiru, for bringing it to the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, Kshs366 billion is more than a budget for one year for all the 47 counties. You can, therefore, imagine the kind of resources that are tied up in those stalled projects. As suggested by Sen. Kibiru, when performance audit is carried out, it needs to be done by people with integrity. Those people should be selected carefully, because there are many corrupt people in independent offices that ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: There is another thing that the governors have refused to appreciate. I sometimes wonder whether we elect people who are educated. An office has perpetual existence, and the fact that one person made a decision on a certain project does not mean that the other one has the ability to let the project stall if they take over. They forget that the money belongs to people who live in a particular county, because it is not from their pockets. view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: There is also impunity in our counties. Those are people who swore that they will abide by the Constitution and the laws of this country. The same people are full of impunity, and they allow a lot of taxpayers’ money to get lost just like that. What kind of people are they? I cannot understand why they do not appreciate the fact that they are in office courtesy of the people. We even have professors in charge of some of the counties. What gets into the heads of some of these learned people when they get to office? Sometimes they ... view
• 18 Jun 2019 in Senate: Like my colleagues have articulated, another thing is pending bills. Most people that counties do business with are small-scale traders. Some of them do not have enough capital. As a result, their businesses come to an end when they are not paid. That means that a lot of businesses are killed. This country needs to develop, but if you kill the engine of economic development through huge pending bills, how do you expect this country to develop? A country like South Korea was at the same level of development with us in 1964, but it is far ahead of us ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: seconded. view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this conversation. I am not a maize grower or a large consumer of maize. However, if you understand economics, then you know that any country that is only consuming and not producing can never grow. If many Kenyans depend on maize, which is our staple food, we should be able to provide enough food. I thank Sen. (Prof).Kamar for being diligent about the welfare of her people by raising the maize issue all the time. We had a food surplus in 2017 and did not have ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this country must increase its outputs. We cannot depend on importation and expect to be food secure. These are some of the questions we need to ask ourselves and think about the welfare and development of this country. Therefore, we must maximize what we are better at, so that what we are not good at, we can add value to it through manufacturing. That will ensure that we grow this economy. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a young population. Therefore, for us to create jobs, we must increase our level of production. If we cannot ... view
