• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: built a house and it was demolished. With these demolitions, the dreams and savings of the poor people are shattered. Some people will never make that kind of investment in their lives again. Their properties are destroyed and there is no backend accountability. Where was Kenya Power when these people were building those houses? This is a country where nobody cares about the citizens. People should be asking questions; what happened? When these people were building those structures, the same people who are demolishing them now were watching. Probably, some were given title deeds by either the City Council or ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to congratulate you on your new position. You are doing a good job. I add my voice to this Bill. I also happen to be in the Committee on Finance and Budget. Of course, on every issue that we look at, there are divergent issues. Everyone has a different lens of looking at things. Madam, Temporary Speaker, overall, I believe that this Bill is good for counties in terms of equity. It speaks to the heart and the spirit of devolution. This is because, with this Bill, whether you voted for the Governor ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: least spare 15 per cent for all the wards so that the people can see where money meant for those projects have gone. During our public hearings, one of the issues that we heard was the fact that there are some counties with very small amounts of money for development - some of them as low as 24 or 22 per cent. If 15 per cent is allocated, then that amount will be reduced further. My counter argument on that is that something is wrong. There is over-recruitment. What happens in counties is that every governor - and truth be ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: project forward or not. So that money remains to be used by the same Ward; the Wards are protected. That creates a completion mechanism. After the implementation you have to also report quarterly to the County Assemblies. That can put people to task to ensure that they know where development is. You can report that nothing happened in the first quarter and the second quarter but you cannot do that in the third quarter. There is check and balance in this process as well. This is the kind of governance that we need in all the other Bills so that ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Statement, and I thank the Senator for Vihiga County for bringing it to the House. For people who come from where I come from in Wajir County, those are the people who know the importance of birth certificates even much more. I, therefore, thank you, Sen. Khaniri, for that. First of all, some of us are first Somali before we are considered Kenyans; and because of that, it took the Kenya Police to have a Police Commissioner from my community for people to know that there are some Somalis who are ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: In Wajir County, for example, people apply for birth certificates and are given receipts, waiting for more than a year, but they still do not get them. Every time they go to ask for them, they are asked to go back another time because they are not ready. When you ask them why they are not getting the certificates, some of them will tell you that those people will not give you a certificate until you pay. view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an issue that speaks to the hearts of most of us simply because if you need a passport or to register for the school system or an ID, all that depends on whether you have a birth certificate or not. Like Sen. Wetangula has said, everybody was either born in a hospital, where people know; or in a village, where the chief is aware of the birth of that child. Why, therefore, can this birth certificate not be issued immediately after the child is born? Why wait until somebody has to apply for it? Should ... view
