• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: for Garissa County unanimously by all the residents. Like Sen. Orengo said, he is a Kenyan Senator, not a Garissa Senator alone because all the parties decided to support him. He is a household name. He made his own name during the Westgate attack. Up today, he is our hero and many Kenyans knew him through that attack. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also watched his interview on Citizen Television and I realized he will hit the ground running. He was so eloquent, good, precise and to the point. He is an admirable young man. We used to call his father ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I stand in accordance to Standing Order No. 106(1) in terms of limitation of debate in the House. It states that- “The Senate may, on a Motion made by any Senator in accordance with this Standing Order, impose a limit in respect of debate on any particular Motion or Bill by allotting a limited period of time for such debate or by limiting the time during which Senators may speak in such debate or by imposing such limitations.” Madam Deputy Speaker, I propose that you limit debate to three minutes so that we can finish ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I thank our President, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, for increasing the allocation to counties by Kshs53.5 billion. I urge our colleagues in the National Assembly to fast-track the passage of the Equalization Fund Bill because it is almost 11 years since our Constitution was passed.

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: passing of the Constitution. I think that is not fair for people who are affected by these Funds. I thank the National Treasury for allocating the Funds all the time. However, their usage require passage of that Bill. By giving counties Kshs370 billion, we would have increased the amount by 27.3 per cent compared to the last audited accounts of Kshs1.4 trillion by the National Assembly. We also got additional funding from other departments of around Kshs36.1 billion. The money was taken from departments and given to the counties. view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: The other issue I would like to clarify is that the Council of Governors (CoG) was represented as part of public participation through their Finance Committee. I just wanted to make that correction since I sit in the committee. view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: The other comment I would like to make is about the public debt. It is our nature as Kenyans to complain about public debt and additional taxation but we want water and electricity among other things. This time round, we should congratulate our Cabinet Secretary for Finance. Despite the depression the whole world is facing, Kenya’s economy grew by 0.6 per cent. The other thing that I want the attention of the Senators because my time is limited is that there is a big problem with Early Childhood and Development Education (ECDE) in the counties. Part of the problem according ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, from what my Senator has submitted, there are a lot of serious issues and allegations. I request that you refer this Petition to the Committee on Finance and Budget so that we do justice to it. This is because from the discussion that the Senator had submitted, it sounds like there is financial malpractices. view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Seconded. view
